  • • Build and operate scalable authorization, authentication, access governance, secrets management, and privileged access systems that support enterprise-grade security requirements.
  • • Develop a security tooling ecosystem that empowers engineering teams to autonomously identify, remediate, and prevent security issues throughout the software development lifecycle.
