About the Role
We are seeking an exceptional Senior Engineer – Access Entitlements to design and scale the systems that discover, normalize, and reason about who has access to what across our customers' entire data estate — on-prem file shares, Active Directory, and SaaS platforms like SharePoint, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365. You will build the connectors, pipelines, and graph models that turn millions of raw permission grants into an accurate, queryable picture of access across billions of files and identities, powering least-privilege analysis, access certification, and risk detection for enterprise customers
What You'll Do
- Entitlement Scanning: Build and extend connectors that enumerate identities (users, groups, service accounts, computers) and resource-level permissions (ACLs, role assignments, sharing links) across on-prem and SaaS data sources, handling per-connector quirks like SID resolution, inheritance breakage, and nested group membership
- Scale & Concurrency: Design entitlement pipelines that safely parallelize across large tenants — correctly handling shared state, batching, and checkpointing so a scan of hundreds of thousands of principals and files can pause, resume, and recover without data loss or duplication
- Data Modeling: Own the mapping from raw connector output to normalized entitlement records, and from those records into our identity graph — designing node/edge structures that represent principals, resources, and access grants (including sharing links and group-inherited access) in a way that supports fast traversal at scale
- Multi-Store Architecture: Work across the full data path — Elasticsearch for search-driven access, Databricks/Delta for large-scale analytical joins, and a Neptune-backed graph for relationship queries — making deliberate tradeoffs about what gets synced where, and keeping those stores consistent as data volume grows
- Entitlement-Activity Correlation: Build the pipelines that join static entitlements against observed activity logs to answer "who can access this, and who actually does" — the core signal behind over-permission detection and access-risk scoring
