  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code or configuration management tools
  • API integration experience for connecting applications to identity platforms
  • Have working technical knowledge of digital identity and authentication (OAuth, OIDC & SAML)

  • Collaborative: thrives in cross-functional environments working with field teams, product, and engineering
  • Systems thinker: balances immediate needs with long-term scalability and reusability
