Identity Architect

What you'll do

• Design the architecture for Raptive’s consumer identity platform across web, mobile, creator sites, community experiences, on-site assistants, and third-party platform surfaces
• Build and guide the implementation of core identity infrastructure including authentication, account systems, user profiles, preference management, consent, privacy controls, account linking, and identity resolution
• Work hands-on to prototype, validate, review, and ship identity platform capabilities
• Evaluate third-party identity vendors and services to lead build-vs-buy analysis
• Partner with PMs and product teams to translate consumer experience goals into scalable identity architecture and implementation plans
• Create standards and patterns for secure login, registration, remembered sessions, passwordless and passkey flows, account recovery, data governance, identity lifecycle management, and preference portability
• Help unify Raptive’s existing identity ecosystem including consumer account identity, on-site identity, community identity, and publisher/adtech identity signals
• Provide technical direction across engineering teams that own different surfaces, ensuring identity is implemented consistently
• Partner closely with security, legal, privacy, and compliance stakeholders so privacy, consent, and regulatory requirements are designed into the platform from the beginning
• Leverage agentic coding workflows to accelerate exploration, prototyping, documentation, implementation, and developer productivity

Requirements

• Significant experience architecting, building, and scaling consumer identity systems across web and/or mobile products
• Deep technical knowledge of modern identity architecture including authentication, authorization, OAUTH, OIDC, SSO, session management, account linking, identity resolution, passwordless authentication, and passkeys
• Hands-on engineering ability with prototyping, reviewing implementation details, and contributing directly
• Comfort using AI-assisted and agentic development tools to accelerate prototyping, implementation, testing, documentation, and developer productivity
• Experience making pragmatic build-vs-buy decisions and integrating third-party identity platforms into complex production systems
• Strong understanding of security, privacy, consent, regulatory, and data protection considerations related to consumer identity
• Experience designing systems supporting personalization, user profiles, preferences, privacy controls, consent management, and cross-surface user experiences
• Experience operating at scale across multiple products, data sources, user touchpoints, and integration points
• Proven success in fast-moving startup environments with ability to create clarity, make pragmatic decisions, and ship quickly amid ambiguity
• Ability to influence without direct authority, align senior stakeholders, and provide technical direction across multiple engineering and product teams
• Familiarity with publisher, advertising, or adtech identity systems is a plus, including hashed emails, PPIDs, shared IDs, cookieless identity frameworks, and identity resolution
