- Bachelor’s degree or Master’s degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science or a related field.
- 15+ years in software engineering, security engineering, identity, distributed systems, or related areas, including significant hands-on technical leadership.
- Proven track record to frame sophisticated problem spaces, define an MVP, prototype quickly, and evolve ideas into reliable production systems..
- Strong software engineering skills, including crafting and building backend services, APIs, automation, or platform components in programming environments. The role requires quickly learning new languages, frameworks, and tools as needed.
- Experience in offensive security, adversarial thinking, red teaming, or attack-path analysis, capable of applying that perspective to architecture decisions and security tradeoffs.
- Experience with device trust, endpoint posture, or hardware-backed trust signals, and an understanding of how device identity and device state can strengthen access decisions for agentic, workload, and human-to-agent workflows.
- Ability to collaborate across organizational boundaries, balance security with usability and adoption, and drive pragmatic technical outcomes through influence.
- Hands-on experience with container technologies (Docker, containerd, or equivalent), network infrastructure (proxies, routing, firewalls, VPNs), and general cloud service provider (CSP) environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Good understanding of existing and emerging identity and access concepts such as OAuth 2.0/2.1, OIDC, SCIM, mTLS, SPIFFE, MCP, AuthZen, certificate lifecycle management, and secrets management.
Ways to stand out from the crowd
- Strong full-stack or software engineering instincts, including the ability to build reusable frameworks, APIs, and tooling that improve engineering velocity and consistency.
- Experience with agentic or AI-adjacent systems, such as tool-using applications, workflow orchestration, evaluation loops, policy controls, memory/context services, or trust and discovery systems.
- Familiarity with AI-specific security risks such as prompt injection, tool misuse, unauthorized access expansion, data exfiltration, or unsafe delegation patterns.
