Our mission is to deliver a centralized Identity and Access Management (IAM) platform that is scalable, resilient, and intelligent. We are a highly collaborative engineering group working across product, security, and infrastructure teams to unify identity across the entire portfolio. If you’re inspired by large-scale engineering challenges and shaping the future of secure user experiences, you’ll feel right at home with us.\nYour Impact\nAs a Senior Software Engineer you will design, build, and operate the core identity services that power authentication, authorization, and user lifecycle management across Splunk and Cisco products. You will architect scalable and secure APIs, unify identity systems, and serve as a subject matter expert on modern identity protocols. Your work will directly strengthen platform security, improve customer trust, and influence our long-term identity strategy. You will also explore opportunities to use AI/ML to increase automation and improve identity protection. Success in this role means delivering reliable services, driving technical perfection, and collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams to ship impactful solutions.\nMinimum Qualifications\nStrong, hands-on C++ and Go experience building secure, scalable, high-throughput production services.\n\nStrong, hands-on C++ experience in production systems, including authentication or systems-level, performance-sensitive code.\n\nAbility to work effectively across Go services and existing C++ Splunkd or authentication-integration components.\n\nDeep knowledge of OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML, token and session lifecycle, and authorization models such as RBAC and ABAC.\n\nExperience designing and operating secure, distributed, fault-tolerant systems.\n\nAbility to lead technical design, resolve complex production issues, and make sound security and architectural trade-offs.\n\nStrong automated-testing, observability, CI/CD, and on-call/service-ownership practices.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nOAuth device-code flow, CLI authentication, Okta, service identities, and secure-production-access workflows.\n\nExperience leading identity-platform integrations, service modernization, or cross-language migration work.\n\nPerformance profiling, incident leadership, and debugging complex production failures.\n\nExperience mentoring engineers and driving technical decisions across security, platform, and partner teams.\n\nLDAP, KV Store, SAML migration or deprecation, and identity-platform integration.\n\nGo-based sidecars, service runtimes, and host/service integration.\n\nKubernetes operations, E2E test pipelines, production dashboards, and secure-access auditing.\n\nWhy Cisco?\nAt Cisco, we’re revolutionizing how data and infrastructure connect and protect organizations in the AI era - and beyond.
