Your Mission

Activision, the publisher of the hit Call of Duty franchise, is looking for a skilled software engineer/developer to join our Activision|Blizzard|King (ABK) Information Security team.

At ABK we aim to provide the best user experience and business driven processes to manage our identity data, and the authentication and authorization experience for our users. You’ll be joining a highly technical team who are charged with a mission to design and build an identity and access management (IAM) program that provides identity governance and provisioning services across the breadth of the enterprise via a single unified identity.

The ideal candidate will have experience designing and building software solutions from scratch, meticulously gathering requirements from business stakeholders, detailing user stories that ensure clarity of understanding for all parties, and a strong desire to follow iterative development practices.

Priorities can often change in a fast- paced environment like ours, so this role includes, but is not limited to, the following responsibilities:

Designing and building software solutions that enable identity and access management functionalities within our internally developed applications, systems and services
Partnering with development teams to integrate the solution(s)
Supporting development teams with design advice and recommendations on architecting secure software solutions that place identity authentication and authorization at the forefront, and that provide fine grained permission schemes for managing access to data therein
