THE IDENTITY TEAM The Identity team's mission is to secure the world's identity connections while building the foundational trust layer for the modern enterprise. As organizations successfully adopt phishing-resistant MFA, attackers have shifted their tactics—increasingly deploying Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) phishing kits and info-stealer malware to execute session hijacking via cookie theft.

This is a highly autonomous, high-impact role for a technical leader who acts with a fierce sense of ownership and urgency. We are looking for someone who turns action into traction, ruthlessly simplifies complex problems, and scales solutions. You will not only raise your own bar but will actively pull the rest of the team up with you, serving as a mentor and strategic visionary. Working in close partnership with product, security, and engineering teams, you will influence the future of the platform by validating emerging capabilities, driving innovation, and ensuring the organization is ready to adopt new technologies—including AI-powered services and intelligent agents.
