• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on scalability, reliability, and user experience

Provide Technical Leadership and Ownership

• Serve as the technical lead for IAM engagements involving application teams and business stakeholders
• Guide technical design discussions and recommend IAM best practices
• Conduct peer reviews and contribute to engineering standards and reusable implementation patterns
• Mentor junior engineers and share knowledge across the IAM team
