  • Experience managing identity and governance workflows using platforms such as Entra ID, Keycloak, AWS Cognito, or Okta.
  • Experience with policy engines, authorization-as-code, relationship-based access models, entitlement graphs, token issuance, federation, workload identity, and machine identity.
  • Active TS/SCI security clearance, or eligibility and willingness to obtain one.

  • Commuter benefits and relocation assistance
  • Flexible take-what-you-need paid time off, plus two weeks of year-end paid time off subject to team and business needs
