About the Role
Our client, a major national retail brand with a large-scale e-commerce and in-store technology footprint, is seeking a Front-End Identity Integration Developer to join their team. This is an exciting opportunity to work on high-visibility authentication and account-management experiences used across a massive digital application portfolio, partnering closely with Identity and Access Engineering, Cyber Defense, Compliance, Cyber Architecture, and vendor teams.

Job Description
This role will be responsible for integrating a third-party identity platform with custom-built web applications, implementing secure, intuitive authentication, authorization, and account-management experiences at scale. The ideal candidate combines strong modern front-end engineering skills with practical experience implementing customer or workforce identity capabilities using industry-standard authentication and authorization protocols. You will translate identity requirements and vendor capabilities into reusable, accessible, well-tested application components that provide a consistent experience across the organization's application portfolio.
Key Responsibilities:

Integrate the selected identity platform into custom-built web applications using vendor SDKs, APIs, hosted components, and authentication services.
Develop reusable front-end components, libraries, hooks, and integration patterns that can be adopted across multiple applications.
Implement authentication and authorization flows using standards such as OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML, JSON Web Tokens, and PKCE.
Integrate identity workflows with existing application routing, state management, backend APIs, and session-management patterns.
Ensure authentication experiences meet enterprise standards for usability, responsive design, accessibility, performance, branding, and internationalization.
Collaborate with Cyber Architecture and engineering teams to implement secure token handling, session controls, error management, and protection against common web application vulnerabilities.
Partner with the identity vendor to understand product capabilities, integration requirements, release changes, defects, and recommended implementation patterns.
Work with product owners and user-experience designers to convert business requirements and design specifications into production-ready functionality.
Create automated unit, integration, and end-to-end tests for identity-related workflows.
Troubleshoot authentication failures across browser, application, network, API, and vendor-platform boundaries.
Implement logging, telemetry, and monitoring needed to measure authentication success rates, failures, latency, and user abandonment.
Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, sprint planning, backlog refinement, and production-readiness reviews.
Produce technical documentation, implementation guidance, and onboarding materials for other application teams.
Support phased deployments, feature-flag strategies, production validation, incident resolution, and post-launch optimization.
Identify opportunities to improve the scalability, maintainability, security, and consistency of identity integrations across the application portfolio.

Qualifications
Required Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
Three to five years of professional front-end software development experience.
Demonstrated experience building production web applications using React and TypeScript.
Experience integrating front-end applications with RESTful APIs, SDKs, and backend services.
Working knowledge of authentication and authorization concepts, including OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, access tokens, ID tokens, refresh tokens, cookies, and browser sessions.
Experience implementing secure authentication flows in single-page or server-rendered web applications.
Strong understanding of browser security concepts, including Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS), Content Security Policy (CSP), Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), secure cookies, and browser storage risks.
Experience with automated testing frameworks and tools such as Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress, Playwright, or equivalent technologies.
Familiarity with source control, pull-request workflows, CI/CD, and automated quality controls.
Experience diagnosing issues using browser development tools, application logs, API traces, and monitoring platforms.
Ability to communicate effectively with engineers, architects, security professionals, product managers, designers, and external vendors.

Preferred Qualifications:

Direct experience integrating a commercial identity platform such as Ping Identity, Okta/Auth0, Microsoft Entra External ID, ForgeRock, Transmit Security, or a comparable platform.
Experience with customer identity and access management (CIAM), workforce identity, or business-to-business identity solutions.
Experience developing shared component libraries, design-system components, or reusable platform capabilities.
Knowledge of role-based and attribute-based access-control models.
Experience with identity federation, social identity providers, step-up authentication, adaptive authentication, or risk-based authentication.
Familiarity with Next.js, Node.js, GraphQL, micro-frontends, or module federation.
Experience working with cloud platforms and cloud-native application architectures.
