## Description

We are seeking a Member of Technical Staff (Software Engineer, Enterprise Trust & Governance) to join our team.

The Enterprise Trust & Governance team builds the control plane that lets the world’s largest organizations deploy Perplexity broadly and with confidence. This is a product and platform engineering role with end-to-end ownership, from shaping the architecture and policy models to shipping the experiences our customers’ administrators and security teams use every day.

**Responsibilities:**

- Own enterprise identity and provisioning, including SSO (SAML/OIDC), SCIM, WorkOS integrations, and support for identity providers such as Okta and Microsoft Entra ID.

- Build the permissions platform, with fine-grained roles and permissions for connectors, tool actions, models, and model effort levels, enforced consistently across products and agent workflows.

- Design and ship secure, well-documented admin APIs for audit logs, members, groups, roles, and settings.

- Build policy controls for model and feature availability, staged rollouts, model deprecations, usage and spend limits, alerts, and cost-center allocation.

- Build admin-facing analytics for adoption, usage, spend, and policy enforcement, helping organizations measure value and manage their deployments.

- Deliver audit logs and change notifications that help administrators investigate activity, track configuration changes, and support compliance.

- Set the technical bar for authorization correctness and reliability, with fast, consistent, explainable permission checks, well-defined failure behavior, and strong tenant isolation.

- Partner with Product, Design, Security, Sales, and Customer Success to translate complex enterprise requirements into reusable platform capabilities and intuitive admin experiences.

**Qualifications:**

- 4+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of owning complex backend systems from design through production operation.

- Strong system design skills, including building reliable, scalable, multi-tenant SaaS platforms with clear security and isolation boundaries.

- Strong proficiency in a backend language such as Python, Go, or Rust, and hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure such as AWS and Kubernetes.

- Deep expertise in at least one of the following:

- Enterprise identity and provisioning, including OAuth, OIDC, SAML, and SCIM.

- Permissions platforms, fine-grained authorization, and policy enforcement.

- Encryption, customer-managed keys, and key lifecycle management.

- Enterprise admin platforms, audit infrastructure, or usage and spend analytics.

- Experience building or integrating enterprise identity and access systems, including platforms such as WorkOS, Okta, or Microsoft Entra ID.

- Sound technical judgment in security-sensitive systems, balancing threat models, authorization correctness, and failure behavior with usability and delivery speed.

- A track record of leading ambiguous, cross-team initiatives from architecture through adoption, setting technical direction for shared platforms, and raising engineering quality through mentorship.

**Compensation:**

- $220K – $405K • Offers Equity

**Benefits:**

- Full-time U.S. employees enjoy a comprehensive benefits program including equity, health, dental, vision, retirement, fitness, commuter and dependent care accounts, and more.
