About The Position

Sonar is seeking a customer-centric Identity Product Manager to lead the development of authentication, authorization, and access management capabilities. This role is crucial for ensuring secure and frictionless access to Sonar products for all users, from individual developers to large enterprises. You will be part of the Identity squad within the Storefront domain, focusing on the operational foundation for customer access, billing, and entitlement. The position requires a blend of customer experience, security, and compliance expertise. You will be responsible for defining how organizations authenticate using SSO (SAML/OIDC) with enterprise identity providers like Okta and Entra ID, managing permissions and roles at scale, and securing user and organization identities throughout their lifecycle. The ideal candidate will research, clarify, and prioritize the needs of external IT administrators, security teams, and enterprise buyers, translating these into product requirements across Sonar's offerings. You will collaborate with other Product Managers, work closely with Identity engineering teams to deliver secure and user-friendly identity experiences, and leverage your deep knowledge of identity and access management to enhance Sonar's offerings for millions of developers and thousands of enterprise administrators.

Requirements

Passionate about identity and access management, and practices that lead to seamless and secure authentication systems.
Deep understanding of identity protocols and patterns (e.g., SAML, OIDC/OAuth2, SSO, SCIM/provisioning, JWT) and enterprise identity providers (Okta, Entra ID/Azure AD, or similar).
Technical comprehension of permissions and access control models (RBAC/ABAC) and multi-tenant SaaS access control.
Understanding of the compliance and security expectations of enterprise buyers (e.g., SOC 2) as they relate to identity and access.
Experience with the latest developments in AI assisted coding.
Experience in software product management, preferably managing identity in an agile context.
Highly autonomous and pragmatic, with an obsession for solving external customer problems.
Open-minded and very positive can-do attitude.
Comfortable in dealing with change, complexity, and uncertainty.
Self-confident enough to challenge the status quo as well as to receive feedback.
Leadership: take initiative and demonstrate ability to lead a subject from beginning to end.
Candidates need to be genuinely based in the location the role is posted or willing to relocate.

Responsibilities

Research, clarify, and prioritize opportunities to build and maintain an effective roadmap focused on enterprise-grade authentication, authorization, and access management.
Interact directly with users and customers to provide support, integrate feedback, and identify opportunities.
Develop a deep understanding of enterprise identity needs (e.g., SSO/SAML/OIDC, IdP integrations like Okta and Entra ID, SCIM/user provisioning, fine-grained permissions) and how to enable organizations to onboard and administer users at scale.
Drive modernization of enterprise identity and access management, including expanding IdP support and hardening permissions and role management for large, complex organizations.
Work closely with other product managers to design cross-product features.
Align with engineering and UX teams on problems to solve and support them during the end-to-end development stage of solutions.
Sync with engineering teams to ensure a good balance between innovation, consolidation, and stability.
