Troubleshoot complex authentication and authorization issues using logs, HTTP traces, and token inspection.
Support operational identity activities such as incident response, certificate renewal, and configuration maintenance.
Strong contribution to technical documentation, runbooks, and implementation guides.
What we're looking for
7+ years of experience in IAM, application security, or identity-focused engineering roles.
Strong hands-on experience with:
OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.1 flows and grant types
SAML 2.0 federation configurations
