About the Role

The Identity team is responsible for a variety of core systems at Twitch including those that store who-am-I information about users, implement business logic for privacy compliance, and handle authorization and authentication. These systems sit at the bottom of the call stack of many other systems in Twitch’s microservices-based architecture and are critical to Twitch’s ongoing success. Developing and maintaining these systems is an ongoing challenge because they are complex, high throughput and require intense focus on security by nature.

As a Senior Engineering Manager, Identity, you will partner with other engineering managers, technical program managers, and product management to modernize and reimagine Twitch’s Identity stack to delight our customers. Reporting to the Director of Identity, Privacy, and Security Platforms, you will lead a team of 8 engineers as you bring operational maturity and excellence to the team’s authentication and authorization systems.

You are experienced in the identity space at consumer web scale, you bring awareness of the industry\'s cutting edge, and you\'re a deeply passionate and inspiring leader of people. If this sounds accurate, come join us! Most of our team is based in San Francisco, but we’re open to you working from other Twitch satellite hubs in Seattle, WA and Irvine, CA.

Please consider the responsibilities detailed below to be a mix of expectations and opportunities. We do not expect everyone to already be great at everything. If one or two things are new to you, please apply!
