Senior Software Engineer, Kong Identity

I'm a Staff Engineer on Kong's Identity team. We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to help build the identity platform behind Konnect. The team owns authentication and authorization services, OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect infrastructure, token issuance and validation, client credential management, claims generation, and the APIs that let customers automate identity workflows.

Some of the problems we work on

• Building low-latency token generation, validation, and introspection services
• Designing multi-tenant identity systems with strong tenant isolation
• Implementing OAuth 2.0 and OIDC flows across Kong products
• Developing dynamic claims engines and authorization capabilities
• Operating globally distributed authentication services with caching, replication, and edge optimization
• Building developer-facing APIs and SDKs
• Improving observability, security, and reliability of critical auth infrastructure

Our stack is primarily Go, Kubernetes, and cloud-native infrastructure. We're looking for engineers with experience building backend and distributed systems. Experience with identity systems, OAuth, OIDC, JWTs, or authentication platforms is helpful but not required.
