• Help shape the product by contributing beyond routine ticket execution and applying thoughtful problem-solving.

What the company is looking for

• Experience delivering complex end-to-end products across both client-side and server-side systems.
• Strong system and architecture thinking, with comfort working in ambiguous problem spaces.
• Ability to challenge requirements and work toward better technical outcomes.
• Interest in IAM, security, or infrastructure.
• Willingness to speak directly with customers and address their operational pain points.
