Responsibilities• Customer-Hosted Web SDK (0→1): Customers want their authentication experience to feel like theirs - on their domain, in their design language, with no redirects. Today that level of control requires building from scratch. Define and deliver the SDK that gives customers complete UX ownership while we handle the security and scale underneath.
• Modern Web Authentication Patterns: Own the SDK strategy for single-page applications and server-rendered web apps. Define how authentication state, client security models, and browser-based authentication work across modern web frameworks (React, Angular, Next.js, ASP.NET Core).
• Unified Sign-In SDK for First-Party Apps: Own the SDK that enables Microsoft's internal app teams to adopt a consistent, unified sign-in experience across web, mobile, desktop, and browser. Provide integration guidance and adoption playbooks that unblock first-party adoption at scale.
• Developer Onboarding & Golden Paths: Design the SDK-level onramp for customers adopting Entra External ID for the first time - whether starting greenfield or migrating from another provider. Create quickstarts and reference architectures that minimize time-to-first-sign-in.
• Cross-Platform SDK Architecture & Tooling: Drive consistency across web, mobile, and server-side SDKs - shared error models, token lifecycle, telemetry, versioning, CLI tooling, IDE integration, and AI-assisted diagnostics. Ensure the SDK family feels like one product.
• Workforce Identity SDK Innovation: Extend SDK thinking into enterprise scenarios - ISV multi-tenant integration, B2B collaboration patterns, Conditional Access-aware SDKs, and API protection patterns for Entra ID.
