Manager, Software Engineer

Job Overview

Relativity is redefining how legal and compliance teams navigate data, and our Automation Services Domain (ASD) is central to that transformation. As Manager of the Service Auth team, you'll lead the development and modernization of Tier 0, cloud-native authentication and authorization services that power our entire platform. This is a rare opportunity to own high‑availability, low‑latency infrastructure that demands operational excellence, resilience, and forward‑thinking engineering. If you're ready to shape foundational systems that scale globally and support mission‑critical workloads, we invite you to lead the charge.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee design, development, and operation of Tier 0 authentication services with a focus on reliability, scalability, and security.
• Drive modernization initiatives, including migration to microservices architecture and adoption of zero trust architecture.
• Collaborate closely with infrastructure teams to ensure seamless integration and high availability in Azure and Kubernetes environments.
• Set technical direction and standards for identity systems (built on OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, etc. protocols) and secure token‑based service communication.
• Mentor and develop engineering talent, fostering a strong operational mindset and domain expertise.
• Partner with product management and internal engineering teams to deliver platform capabilities and support billions of high‑throughput, low‑latency transactions.

Required Qualifications

• Proven experience managing engineering teams responsible for mission‑critical, high‑throughput, low‑latency cloud services.
• Deep understanding of authentication protocols and zero trust security models.
• Hands‑on experience with Azure, Kubernetes, and cloud‑native service design.
• Strong operational focus: building resilient, highly available systems and responding to incidents.
• Ability to quickly learn and lead in a complex, domain‑specific technical environment.

Preferred Backgrounds

• Experience in environments with large‑scale API ecosystems (e.g., streaming, fintech, or high‑volume SaaS platforms).
• Track record of modernizing legacy or macroservice architectures to microservices.

Relativity is committed to competitive, fair, and equitable compensation practices.

This position is eligible for total compensation which includes a competitive base salary, an annual performance bonus, and long‑term incentives.

The expected salary range for this role is between $155,000 and $233,000.

The final offered salary will be based on several factors, including but not limited to the candidate's depth of experience, skill set, qualifications, and internal pay equity. Hiring at the top end of the range would not be typical, to allow for future meaningful salary growth in this position.
