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 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, recent hands-on C++ AND/OR Go experience building secure, scalable, high-throughput production services.\n\nExperience designing and operating secure, distributed, fault-tolerant systems.\n\nHands-on knowledge of OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML, token and session lifecycle, and authorization models such as RBAC and ABAC.\n\nStrong automated-testing, debugging, observability, and production-support skills.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nPrevious C++ experience sufficient to read, understand, and diagnose behavior in Splunkd or authentication-integration code.\n\nExperience working across Go services and existing C++ components, including integration or incremental modernization.\n\nOAuth device-code flow, CLI authentication, Okta, service identities, and secure-production-access workflows.\n\nPerformance profiling, complex production debugging, and incident response.\n\nLDAP, KV Store, SAML migration or deprecation, and identity-platform integration.\n\nGo-based sidecars, service runtimes, and host/service integration.\n\nKubernetes-based service operations, E2E test pipelines, and production dashboards.\n\nSecure-access auditing, access windows, session management, or policy enforcement.\n\nWhy Cisco?\nAt Cisco, we’re revolutionizing how data and infrastructure connect and protect organizations in the AI era - and beyond. We’ve been innovating fearlessly for 40 years to create solutions that power how humans and technology work together across the physical and digital worlds. These solutions provide customers with unparalleled security, visibility, and insights across the entire digital footprint.\nFueled by the depth and breadth of our technology, we experiment and create meaningful solutions. Add to that our worldwide network of doers and experts, and you’ll see that the opportunities to grow and build are limitless. We work as a team, collaborating with empathy to make really big things happen on a global scale. Because our solutions are everywhere, our impact is everywhere.\nWe are Cisco, and our power starts with you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3397,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Poland","iso":"PL","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Network Security","Unified Communications","Network Equipment","Observability & APM"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T17:53:23Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":10,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.29,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":51,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cisco-systems-software-engineer-identity-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cisco-systems-software-engineer-identity-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T09:23:17Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14568,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":90},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=90"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcisco-systems-software-engineer-identity-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcisco-systems-software-engineer-identity-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcisco-systems-software-engineer-identity-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cisco-systems-software-engineer-identity-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcisco-systems-software-engineer-identity-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":604681}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"cisco.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":604681},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
