Impact in action: No matter where you are in the organization, you're empowered to make an impact in the lives of our clients and communities.
Thrive together: We want you—the unique, authentic you—to feel safe and celebrated at work. We're on a continuous journey to build the most flexible and inclusive programs.
Ready for tomorrow: We want to enable your success through interesting and challenging work, performance enablement, and learning and development.

- Assist in sharing technical requirements for secure integration with authentication systems and provide guidance to other teams on the implementation of features as a subject matter expert.
- Investigate potential design and implementation vulnerabilities/security flaws.
- Collaborate with team members on project delivery, offering guidance, and conducting troubleshooting sessions to unblock progress and ensure timely completion of work tasks.
- Investigate and resolve issues related to authentication and user management and debugging complex authentication flows.
- Act as an emissary of the Identity, Application and Offensive Security team working to promote strong partnerships with teams and stakeholders that are dependent on our services.
