Description

  • Define the canonical reference architecture for agent identity, delegation, audit, and kill-switch patterns across the portfolio.

  • Turn recurring field work into reusable modules, internal tooling, and enablement.
  • Stay hands-on in code while setting technical direction and multiplying the effectiveness of the broader team.

Requirements

  • 10+ years shipping production software, with deep distributed systems and identity experience.
  • Experience staying hands-on while setting technical direction.
  • Deep knowledge of OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, SCIM, RFC 8693 token exchange, act claims, CIMD, DCR, and DPoP.

  • A record of setting technical direction across multiple teams or accounts and mentoring senior engineers.
