What will you be doing?
- Own strategy and execution for a centralized, modular auth service
- Scale identity and access consistently across products and customers
- Stay hands-on with code review and architecture design
- Manage and mentor engineers, starting with one direct report, and hire to grow the team
- Partner with the Senior EM of Data & Security on platform priorities
