Principal Security Software Engineer, IAM

A systems thinker. You reason about failure modes, blast radius, and reliability, and you design access that stays secure and available even when dependencies fail.

Security-minded and pragmatic. You are passionate about least privilege and zero trust, but you optimize for the Builder experience and adoption, not controls for their own sake.

A force multiplier. You make the engineers and teams around you better through mentorship, clear writing, and high-quality technical leadership.

A strong communicator. You translate deep technical tradeoffs for both engineers and executives, and you build alignment across organizational boundaries.

Bar-raising and hands-on. You still love to build, and you set the standard for engineering quality on the hardest problems.
