- Ability to design and implement complex distributed systems operating under high load
- Proficiency in our core stack: Go, Python, Java, or TypeScript, with a strong DevOps mindset and end-to-end code ownership (testing, monitoring, deploying, and maintaining)

- Hands-on familiarity with enterprise identity solutions including IGA, MFA, PAM / PIM, JIT and Directory architectures (e.g., Okta, LDAP)
- Familiarity with governance and compliance frameworks (SOC2, SOX, PCI), including driving audit-related access certification reviews
