- Support critical identity platforms and drive their strategic evolution through technical proposals and design documents that influence our multi-year roadmap
- Lead the consolidation of fragmented automations into maintainable, resilient workflows that can handle the complexity of enterprise-scale identity management
- Pioneer non-human identity governance by designing comprehensive monitoring and management solutions for service accounts, API keys, certificates, and emerging AI agent identities
- Mentor intermediate engineers on both technical implementation and strategic thinking, helping them develop expertise in modern identity security practices
