• Build and maintain high-quality enterprise software using TypeScript, REST APIs, and JSON.

About You:

• Proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript, React, and Node.js.
• Strong knowledge of security architecture, LDAP, Active Directory, SAML, SSO, OAuth2, OpenID Connect and web protocols like XML, SOAP, JSON, and REST.

• Exhibit excellent problem-solving abilities and effective communication skills, especially when collaborating with diverse teams.
