Short Summary:
Discord's Enterprise Technology org is building a software engineering discipline from the ground up, and this is the founding engineering hire. You will define the discipline, set the technical foundation, and build the platform that lets the internal systems enabling Discordians scale with the company.

Responsibilities:
- Manage the device fleet as code: Move device configuration off consoles and into versioned, API-driven infrastructure for endpoint management and hardware provisioning.
- Automate the identity layer: Manage identity systems and their connections to downstream apps as code, from SSO and SCIM integrations to account workflows.
- Own app delivery and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): Build deployment pipelines and provisioning patterns that let internal systems be built and changed safely.
- Build the self-service layer: Design and ship the APIs, CLIs, and portals that compose primitives into paved paths.
- Set the foundation: Define the technical direction and architecture for the discipline, writing the RFCs and documentation.

Requirement:
- 6+ years building and operating production software and systems at a technology company.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals; proficient in Python, TypeScript, and Rust.
- Deep, hands-on IAM experience (SSO, SCIM, OAuth/OIDC, RBAC) and fluency with infrastructure as code (Terraform) and CI/CD.
- Experience treating endpoint and fleet management as an API-driven engineering surface at scale.
- A platform-as-a-product mindset and comfort with ambiguity.
