• Comfortable integrating with identity providers (Azure AD, OAuth, SAML, SCIM).

• Hands-on experience with observability stacks (Grafana, Prometheus, Splunk).

• Familiarity with web development frameworks (ReactJS, Angular) and API documentation standards (OpenAPI/Swagger).

Desirable:

• Experience working in enterprise-scale environments.

• Understanding of software security and governance best practices.

Personal Attributes

• Strong collaboration and communication skills to engage effectively with engineering teams.

• Empathetic and user-centric mindset with the ability to understand and translate developer needs into solutions.
