# Principal Platform Engineer || Identity Platform (AuthN/AuthZ)

Please note that before you apply for this role, you should be a hands-on platform engineer who builds through code and automates by default. Last week you would have been writing a lot of code!

At IFS, we're building the next generation of AI-native enterprise software, transforming how some of the world's largest organisations manage assets, operations and critical services. This is an opportunity to work at the forefront of modern AI engineering, building intelligent products that combine Large Language Models (LLMs), agentic AI and cloud-native technologies to solve complex, real-world business challenges at enterprise scale. We're looking for engineers who are passionate about building production AI systems and excited by the opportunity to shape the future of enterprise software. Please note that this role requires demonstrable, hands-on experience designing, building and shipping production AI applications. Candidates whose AI experience is limited to using tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor
