The posting, as Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies wrote it

ABOUT US

Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies is a joint venture between two industry leaders with a clear vision for automotive’s next chapter. From operating systems to zonal controllers to cloud and connectivity solutions, we’re addressing the challenges of electric vehicles through technology that will set the standards for software-defined vehicles around the world.

The road to the future is uncharted. By combining our expertise across connectivity, AI, security and more, we’ll map a new way forward. Working together, we’ll create a future that’s more connected, more intelligent, more sustainable for everyone.

ROLE SUMMARY

The Product Security team develops and implements security protections into the vehicle and its supporting infrastructure. We cover the full chain of security: from defining requirements, planning both software and hardware security, to development, deployment and operationalization of the protections in production.

As a Senior IAM Engineer, you will own core components of the identity and authorization platform that vehicles, cloud services, and internal teams depend on. This includes our fine-grained authorization service, OAuth2/OIDC identity stack, workload identity for cloud and on-vehicle workloads, and the authorization path for vehicle operations such as remote commands and OTA. You will drive this platform from requirements to implementation and operationalization. This role is cross functional across many aspects of RVT including vehicle software and enterprise teams.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design, build, and operate security-critical identity and authorization services (authorization/ACL service, OAuth2/OIDC provider, workload identity, key distribution) in Go on Kubernetes/AWS.
• Own the authorization data model: design and evolve the SpiceDB schema (resource hierarchies, roles/permissions) to enable business needs and provide APIs, SDKs, and tooling for teams to manage their permissions.
• Demonstrate cloud native best practices through code reviews, mentorship, and partnership with other cloud first teams.
• Participate in team incident response and on call processes.
• Partner with the PKI team and service owners to adopt mTLS and workload identity (SPIFFE/SPIRE) as the authentication layer for the authorization platform, and guide teams on integrating certificate-based identity with SpiceDB-backed permissions
• Mitigate vulnerabilities found or reported by internal and external parties by aligning with company’s goals and objectives.
• Implement cybersecurity protections to comply with regulations and industry standards.
