IAM is a highly technical space with an emphasis on security, scale, and operational excellence. You will be expected to be a strong technical leader who effectively partners with others, keeps the big picture in sight, informs prioritization, builds consensus, and rallies the team behind it. Core responsibilities include designing and implementing complex system components while maintaining an uncompromising bar on quality and supporting less experienced team members in growing their craft.
