What you'll be doing…

As the Tableau platform has expanded in the Enterprise, our need for a more robust, extensible Auth layer has grown. Come join the team focused on rearchitecting our Authentication service to more easily integrate with frameworks like Open ID Connect and services like Auth0, Cognito, Okta as well as enable more use cases for our suite of products including thick clients, browser apps, mobile, and headless jobs. You will work closely with large customers to understand their network topology and authentication configuration needs. You will work with many teams inside Tableau including our Mobile and Desktop clients, our Security team, and our online Auth provider (TableauID). Your work will need to focus on our on premise server product as well as our Online SAAS offering. You will work with our Connectivity team to determine how authenticated identities can transition to be used to authenticate to backend data sources. And if you are not excited enough, you also get to help work on some of the Authorization work to help map out a robust Policy and Role based system that can enable more of our Enterprise scenarios.
