Job Description

Objective

Backed by top-tier PE investors, Identity Digital Innovation Labs (IDIL) is building DNSid — the foundational identity layer for the agentic internet, letting AI agents establish verifiable, DNS-anchored identities the same way domains prove ownership today. As we move from reference implementation to commercial product and engage cloud, IAM, and edge computing platforms, we need a Solutions Engineer to be the technical bridge between our engineering team and the partners, customers, and platforms adopting DNSid.

This role is deliberately two-sided: a hands-on integration builder and a trusted technical partner lead. The same person can write the integration code, stand up a reference implementation, and then walk a partner's engineering team, security leaders, and executives through the architecture and adoption path. This is a founding technical partner role for DNSid: technical at its core, ownership-oriented, and expected to help turn early partner integrations into repeatable patterns as the product and solutions function scale.

This role reports to the VP, Engineering & Technical Architect.

What You'll Do

• Serve as the primary technical contact in partner and enterprise conversations, going deep on DNSid architecture, integration patterns, and security model
• Own integrations end-to-end: write production-grade integration code with partners, stand up reference implementations, and drive POCs from demo to deployment
• Translate partner and customer requirements into clear, prioritized feedback for the engineering team; help shape the roadmap based on what you hear in the field
• Develop and maintain technical enablement materials: integration guides, quick starts, FAQs, and architecture documentation for external developers
• Own the technical win with partners: drive discovery, architecture alignment, POC scope, implementation follow-through, and the path from demo to deployment
• Run technical workshops and deep-dive sessions with partner engineering teams
• Collaborate with product, standards (IETF), and engineering to ensure partner-facing materials stay accurate as the spec and implementation evolve
• Represent IDIL credibly in technical forums, standards discussions, and partner escalations

Who You Are / What You Bring

• 10+ years in solutions engineering, solutions architecture, developer platforms, infrastructure, identity, security, or hands-on technical partner engineering roles
• Hands-on experience integrating with cloud, identity, and developer platform surfaces such as AWS, Okta or similar IdPs, OAuth/OIDC providers, agent runtimes, orchestration frameworks, SDKs, APIs, and MCP servers
• Familiarity with emerging agent standards — agent-to-agent (A2A) communication patterns, MCP, and identity/verification standards
• Strong understanding of identity and auth concepts: OAuth2/OIDC, JWT/JWKS, PKI, TLS, and how they compose in production systems
• Hands-on engineer who can build integrations in Go, Python, or TypeScript/Node and explain the engineering tradeoffs clearly
• Strong working knowledge of DNS, including DNSSEC, TXT records, resolution behavior, and how DNS can anchor identity and verification flows
• Excellent communicator who can move fluidly between a partner's CISO, their engineering team, and our own developers
• Comfortable operating with high autonomy in an early-stage, fast-moving venture; able to create repeatable patterns and help build the solutions engineering function as the product scales
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field or equivalent experience
• Ability to work effectively across time zones as part of a global organization
• Ability to travel as needed for partner meetings, conferences and workshops
