- Architectural Leadership: Engage in the full development life cycle, applying a "security-first" mindset to our React/Node.js stack environment
- Event-Driven Security: Implement secure patterns for real-time data streaming via Kafka, ensuring proper ACLs and encryption for data in motion
- Be a Force Multiplier: Act as a mentor and teacher, leveling up other engineers in the art of secure coding, token management, and identity protocols
- Client Engagement: Serve as a primary technical point of contact for client-facing security discussions, helping partners integrate with our identity brokering services
- Quality & Performance: Maintain a high bar for clean, maintainable, and well-tested code with vigorous attention to detail and automated testing
