Who You Are: • 10+ years of experience in software or infrastructure engineering building and operating production services. • 5+ years of engineering leadership experience, including directly managing other managers and scaling multi-team organizations. • Proven track record of delivering security, identity, or encryption-related products (e.g., IAM, SSO, KMS, HSM, workload identity, security platforms) at a cloud provider, security company, or large-scale SaaS. • Experience designing and operating distributed systems with high availability, strong correctness requirements, and clear operational ownership. • Strong understanding of enterprise security concepts such as authentication, authorization, least privilege, encryption at rest and in transit, and audit logging. • Familiarity with common compliance and security frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, HIPAA) and how they translate into product and architectural requirements. • Demonstrated experience collaborating with Product Management and Security/Compliance teams to prioritize trade-offs and ship customer-facing platform capabilities. • Experience building and mentoring diverse, inclusive, and high-performing engineering teams in a fast-paced environment.
