Planet designs, builds, and operates the largest constellation of imaging satellites in history, delivering empirical data via a cloud-based platform to commercial, environmental, and humanitarian sectors. The company controls every component of hardware design, manufacturing, data processing, and software engineering.
We are seeking a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with a focus on Identity and Access Management (IAM) to join the Corporate Engineering team. You will be responsible for the continuous operation, development, and enhancement of Planet's corporate infrastructure and applications, serving as the technical authority for the enterprise identity ecosystem.

- Engineer automated zero-day Joiner, Mover, and Leaver (JML) workflows directly from the HRIS (e.g., HiBob)
- Use Python or Go to automate repetitive tasks, build custom provisioning connectors for legacy applications, and enforce identity data minimization
- Identify and reduce operational toil through automation, making systems self-healing and predictable
- Leverage APIs, Terraform, Ansible, or SaltStack to manage configurations as code, moving away from manual UI/CLI changes
- Participate in on-call rotation and drive continuous improvement of incident response, root cause analysis, and post-mortem processes for complex authentication failures
- Collaborate with Security and IT teams to embed reliability, scalability, and security best practices, ensuring identity architecture complies with GDPR and Zero Trust principles

- Bachelor's degree in a relevant field
- Expertise with a scripting language like Python
- Track record working with large web applications or computer clusters and managing complex identity architectures (Okta, Auth0, Keycloak)
- Experience integrating HR Information Systems with identity directories and handling complex edge cases (re-hires, cross-border transfers)
- Solid understanding of network principles and operations alongside modern identity protocols (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, SCIM)
- Practical understanding of PKI, certificate lifecycles (S/MIME, X.509), and managing legacy directories like Active Directory
**Preferred Qualifications:**
- Operational experience deploying and maintaining databases
- Experience using Docker, ECS, or Linux containers in production
- Awareness of systems security best practices and defensive programming
- Experience with version control (e.g., Git)
- Experience deploying and maintaining virtual machines (e.g., KVM, ProxMox)
