• Maintain exceptionally high security standards aligned with enterprise and regulatory expectations
• Act as a technical authority in customer discussions, solution design, and deployment
• Help position the company’s technology as a foundational identity layer within the Microsoft ecosystem

What we’re looking for

• Strong expertise across the Microsoft technology stack, particularly with Entra ID but also Azure, Identity Governance, and Verified ID
• Senior‑level software engineering experience in C#/.NET, with exposure to Windows platforms (C/C++ beneficial)
• Experience with frontend technologies, databases (SQL and NoSQL), APIs, and cloud DevSecOps practices
• Deep understanding of identity and application security, threat modelling, and secure system design
• Proven leadership experience, excellent communication skills, and comfort working with enterprise customers and strategic partners
• Confident use of AI tools to enhance development, security reviews, and productivity
