• Strong Git-based development practices and experience working in collaborative code review environments.
• Experience working within Agile/Scrum teams delivering highly available, secure applications.
• Advanced understanding of identity and access management concepts, including OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and SAML-based SSO.
