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.
You will join the Corporate Engineering team as a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with a focus on Identity and Access Management (IAM). Working 3 days per week from the Berlin, Haarlem, or Ljubljana office, 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.

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

- 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
DESIRABLE QUALIFICATIONS:
- Operational experience deploying and maintaining databases
- Experience with Docker, ECS, or Linux containers in production
- Awareness of systems security best practices and defensive programming
