Base pay range

$230,000.00 / yr - $445,000.00 / yr

Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, builds Gigawatt-scale AI Factories for Training and Inference. Lambda’s mission is to make compute as ubiquitous as electricity and give every person access to artificial intelligence. One person, one GPU.

Note : This position requires presence in our San Francisco or Bellevue office location 4 days per week; Lambda’s designated work from home day is currently Tuesday.

Role Summary

Help define and deliver Lambda’s next-generation Identity and Access Management platform - powering secure, intuitive, and scalable access control for customers ranging from early-stage startups to the most superintelligent AI teams in the world .

You’ll design IAM systems that anticipate the needs of highly technical users who will stress-test every workflow, integration, and permission model. Your charter will be to lead the design and implementation of our IAM vision : Workspaces, enterprise-grade RBAC, MFA enhancements, and a unified identity platform across all Lambda products and services.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and build intuitive, beautiful web interfaces for ML / AI cloud users
  • Integrate top-tier tooling, workflows, and models from the AI space
  • Own features end-to-end—from design to deployment to monitoring

You (Must-Haves)

  • 8+ years of backend or platform engineering experience, with 3+ years leading IAM or authentication / authorization initiatives.
  • Deep expertise in modern IAM patterns and technologies :

  • Authentication (OIDC, OAuth2, SAML)
  • Authorization (RBAC, ABAC, fine-grained permissions)
  • MFA and advanced authentication factors
  • SCIM and identity lifecycle management
  • Experience integrating and customizing third-party identity platforms (e.g., Auth0, Okta, WorkOS) at scale.
  • Strong architecture and systems design skills for distributed, multi-tenant SaaS environments.
  • Proven track record of delivering IAM features in security-sensitive, high-uptime environments.
  • Solid programming experience in Python, Go, or similar languages, plus comfort with IaC (Terraform, Atlantis, Crossplane).
  • Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience designing IAM systems for ML / AI or cloud infrastructure products.
  • Hands-on experience with enterprise onboarding flows.
  • Prior work on multi-cloud or hybrid identity solutions (AWS, GCP, Azure).
  • Contributions to IAM standards or open-source identity projects.
  • Leadership or mentorship experience
  • Strong academic background (EECS, Math, Software Engineering, Physics)
  • Salary Range

    The annual salary range for this position has been set based on market data and other factors. However, a salary higher or lower than this range may be appropriate for a candidate whose qualifications differ meaningfully from those listed in the job description.
