• Partner with product, security, and compliance teams to meet regulatory requirements, conduct threat modeling and risk assessments, and support audits.
• Establish engineering processes: code and design reviews, CI/CD for IAM components, and measurable SLAs/SLOs for availability and latency.

• Familiarity with cloud identity offerings such as AWS IAM and Azure AD 
• Understanding of cryptography fundamentals and secure key management as applied to authentication and token issuance (nice to have).
