ABOUT STRAVA Strava is the app for active people. With over 180 million athletes in more than 185 countries, it’s more than tracking workouts—it’s where people make progress together, from new habits to new personal bests.

Start your journey https://www.strava.com/subscription with Strava today. Our mission is simple: to motivate people to live their best active lives. We believe in the power of movement to connect and drive people forward. ABOUT THIS ROLE We’re looking for a Senior Server Engineer to join our Identity Engineering Team, the group responsible for how every athlete securely accesses their Strava experience.

We're looking for engineers who love building reliable, scalable distributed systems and are excited to apply that craft to the identity domain. We follow a flexible hybrid model that translates to more than half of your time on-site in our San Francisco office — three days per week. WHAT YOU’LL DO: - Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services powering Strava's identity platform, including authentication, authorization, token lifecycle management, and account security. - Partner with cross-functional teams (Product, Security, Trust & Safety, Legal, and Mobile/Web Engineering) to build identity foundations that enable safety, privacy, and growth. - Drive technical excellence, contributing thoughtful architectural perspectives and shaping long-term identity strategies. - Mentor and support fellow engineers, fostering a collaborative, inclusive, and high-trust environment. - Influence system design across teams and lead d
