As a Principal Engineer, you will provide technical leadership for the design, implementation, and evolution of ResMed's customer identity platform. Key responsibilities include:

• Define and drive the architectural blueprint for the identity platform, including authentication, authorization, user management, data flows, integration points, and security controls.
• Lead the development of a comprehensive security strategy covering secure data storage, encryption at rest and in transit, multi-factor authentication, session management, identity proofing, and regulatory compliance.
• Design and guide implementation of authentication and authorization services supporting modern identity patterns such as social login, SSO, and passwordless authentication.
• Ensure adoption of industry-standard protocols including OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and SAML.
• Establish scalable authorization models, including role-based and attribute-based access control.
• Define and evolve APIs and SDKs that enable internal teams and external partners to integrate with the identity platform for account creation, login, password reset, token management, and access control.
• Ensure APIs are well documented and designed with strong standards for versioning, rate limiting, reliability, and backward compatibility.
• Develop strategies for data migration and user onboarding, including transition planning for existing identity stores where applicable.
• Drive performance and scalability planning to support high concurrency, large user populations, and peak traffic conditions.
• Establish compliance, auditing, monitoring, alerting, and incident response capabilities to support operational excellence and regulatory requirements.
• Use AI and automation to improve identity platform operations, including intelligent monitoring, anomaly detection, incident triage, operational insights, and faster remediation of service issues.
• Identify and implement opportunities to use AI to improve software development lifecycle productivity, including development workflows, documentation, code quality, testing, debugging, release readiness, and engineering efficiency across the systems owned by the team.
• Ensure the identity platform provides strong protection for AI-enabled systems and MCP-based ecosystems, including authentication, authorization, service identity, secrets management, policy enforcement, auditability, and secure access patterns for agents, tools, models, and machine-to-machine interactions.
• Partner with security and platform teams to define identity patterns and guardrails for AI services, autonomous workflows, and MCP integrations so that these systems are secure, governed, and scalable.
• Promote strong documentation and knowledge sharing, including architecture artifacts, developer guides, onboarding materials, and stakeholder communications.
• Champion testing and quality practices, including unit, integration, performance, and security testing.
• Help define a forward-looking roadmap for identity platform capabilities and continuous improvement, including support for AI-native and machine-oriented identity use cases.
• Align technical direction with business strategy and customer needs.
• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
