About The Position

The Software Engineer, CIAM plays a critical role in delivering secure, scalable, and resilient customer identity experiences across IDEXX’s customer-facing platforms. This role provides hands-on engineering leadership and technical ownership of the Auth0-based Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) platform. This individual will work closely with a Product Manager (roadmap alignment, prioritization, business value), Business Systems Analyst (translate strategy into clear, execution-ready requirements and aligned workflows), Delivery Lead (planning, sprint execution, impediment removal), Security Architecture (standards, risk mitigation, compliance), and Engineering teams (design, integration, troubleshooting, deployment). The role acts as a technical authority for Auth0, helping define standards, integration patterns, and operational practices that enable product teams to adopt CIAM capabilities with confidence. This position blends deep software engineering expertise with a platform mindset—balancing feature delivery (e.g., federation, SSO, onboarding flows) with long-term platform stability, security, and operability. IDEXX is standardizing all customer-facing applications onto a unified CIAM platform powered by Auth0. Today, a growing number of applications authenticate through Auth0, with continued expansion underway. Your Location: We are looking for driving distance to our Westbrook, Maine HQ with only 8 days on-site required per month. We are also open to regionally based candidates in Massachusetts and NH that can come in but maybe less frequently.
