  • Enhance and innovate modern identity protocols by integrating standards such as OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), WebAuthn, biometrics, and secure token exchange.

  • Refine identity flows across our iOS, Android, and web platforms to ensure a frictionless user experience without compromising security.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Product, Security, Trust & Safety, Legal, and Mobile/Web Engineering, to create identity solutions that prioritize safety and privacy while supporting growth.

  • Promote technical excellence by contributing architectural insights and shaping long-term Identity strategies.

  • Mentor and support fellow engineers, fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment.

  • Influence system design across teams, leveraging your expertise in identity to lead discussions on security, performance, and scalability.
