In the posting’s own words

As a Staff+ engineer, you'll help set the technical direction for this work. The foundations are live and adoption is growing quickly, so the next challenge is scale: making access a matter of configuration instead of code, making verification reusable, and giving customers a consistent experience on every surface. You'll work closely with safeguards, product, design and research to turn safety policy into systems that are easy to use and enforce. You'll also take new 0 → 1 efforts from idea to delivery as new capabilities and programs emerge.

Also a plus

Identity, access control or authorization systems at scale
Fraud, risk, trust and safety, or KYC/KYB systems, including working with verification vendors
Regulated or compliance-sensitive environments, including handling sensitive personal data
Integrating with cloud platforms or partner ecosystems such as AWS, Google Cloud and Azure
