Senior Software Engineer, Identity Team (Remote)

At Weights & Biases, our mission is to build the best tools for AI developers. We founded our company on the insight that while there were excellent tools for developers to build better code, there were no similarly great tools to help ML practitioners build better models. Starting with our first experiment tracking product, we have since expanded our solution into a comprehensive AI developer platform for organizations focused on building their own deep learning models and generative AI applications.
Weights & Biases is a Series C company with $250M in funding and over 200 employees. We proudly serve over 1,000 customers and more than 30 foundation model builders including customers such as OpenAI, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Toyota.
As a key member of our Identity Platform Engineering team, you will be responsible for the design, development, and maintenance of critical security features within our application's identity system. This includes implementing robust authentication, authorization, and access control systems that are scalable and maintain high performance to support our growing business needs.
The Identity team at Weights & Biases is dedicated to developing the foundational systems that guarantee secure, reliable access to our platform for hundreds of thousands of users. Understanding the critical importance of security for our users, we prioritize building features that not only enhance authentication and authorization experiences but also ensure the seamless and secure integration of our services. As we expand our capabilities, the team develops robust access control tools that empower other engineering teams to build new features and applications confidently.
