About the Role

At Goldman Sachs, our Engineers don't just make things – we make things possible. Change the world by connecting people and capital with ideas. Solve the most challenging and pressing engineering problems for our clients. Join our engineering teams that build massively scalable software and systems, architect low latency infrastructure solutions, proactively guard against cyber threats, and leverage machine learning, generative AI, and agentic systems alongside financial engineering to continuously turn data into action.

We help the firm manage the security risks associated with identity and privilege by providing products that can easily be integrated by the firm's other software engineers; as well as offering management tools to approve, recertify and report on staff privileges.

You will architect and build applications, libraries and services to manage the lifecycle of application privileges; provide externalized authorization capabilities; allow secure, auditable access to the firm's technology production environment; and drive the adoption of AI-enabled capabilities across the platform. You will also mentor engineers, shape technical strategy, and partner with senior stakeholders across the firm.
