  • Collaborate with architects and engineers to ensure security services meet performance, usability, and compliance requirements.
  • Conduct code reviews and provide guidance to development teams on secure coding and integration practices.
  • Research emerging zero trust and identity/access management technologies to recommend improvements.

  • Expert-level experience implementing authentication and authorization frameworks (e.g., OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML).
  • Strong, repeat experience with commercial or open-source identity and access management platforms (e.g., ForgeRock, Okta, Keycloak, Ping Identity).
  • Strong expertise with fine-grained access control models (entitlements, row-level security, ABAC).
  • Expert proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Java, Go, Python) for building frameworks and libraries.
  • Solid experience with zero trust architecture and principles.
  • Experience creating developer documentation and integration guides.
  • Strong grasp of secure coding practices and software development lifecycle (SDLC) security.
