Design secure integrations using SAML, OAuth 2.1, OpenID Connect, SCIM, and SPIFFE/SPIRE.
Automate identity lifecycle processes to ensure access is granted, modified, and revoked promptly.
Develop identity guardrails using infrastructure-as-code and policy-as-code.
Build monitoring and alerting for anomalous authentication, privilege escalation, credential misuse, and unauthorized access.
Partner with Incident Response to investigate identity-related incidents and rapidly revoke compromised access.
Conduct security reviews and threat modeling for new identity architectures and integrations.
Maintain IAM services with strong reliability, documentation, operational ownership, and on-call support.
Many teams at Dropbox run Services with on-call rotations, which entails being available for calls during both core and non-core business hours. If a team has an on-call rotation, all engineers on the team are expected to participate in the rotation as part of their employment. Applicants are encouraged to ask for more details of the rotations to which the applicant is applying.

Durable Skills
AI fluency means using these tools to amplify human judgment, not replace it. We believe people with these skills will thrive as work and technology continue to evolve:
Awareness: Understand yourself and others.
Judgment: Evaluate information and make decisions in complex situations.
Adaptability: Learn, adjust, and stay effective through change.
Connection: Communicate, collaborate, and build trust.
