Description For Engineering Manager Identity & Authentication Security

Netflix, a global entertainment powerhouse with 283 million subscribers across 190+ countries, is seeking an Engineering Manager for their Identity & Authentication Security team. This crucial role sits at the intersection of security and user experience, managing authentication services for Netflix's worldwide workforce and partners.

The position involves leading a central security team that develops and maintains Identity & Authentication services, including SSO and MFA, supporting Netflix's expanding content production ecosystems across Live, Events, Gaming, and more.

The role requires a blend of technical expertise and leadership skills, with a focus on building and managing diverse, high-performing teams. You'll be responsible for setting the strategic vision for Identity & Authentication Security while collaborating with various engineering teams across the organization. The position demands someone who can balance technical depth with people management, having at least 5 years of leadership experience and a strong background in security or software engineering.

Netflix offers a unique compensation structure with base salaries ranging from $190,000 to $920,000, plus the flexibility to choose between salary and stock options. The company provides comprehensive benefits including health plans, mental health support, 401(k) with employer match, and generous time-off policies. The role is fully remote within the USA, offering the opportunity to work for one of the world's most innovative entertainment companies while maintaining work-life flexibility.

This position is ideal for someone who thrives in a culture of freedom and responsibility, has a passion for security and identity management, and can drive technical excellence while building inclusive, high-performing teams. The role offers the opportunity to shape the future of identity and authentication security at a global scale, working with cutting-edge technologies and solving complex challenges in content production and distribution.
