- Help define frontend architecture, engineering standards, testing strategies, and developer experience.
- Integrate frontend applications with OAuth, OIDC, session management, and authorization services.
Who We're Looking For
- 3+ years of software development experience, with an emphasis on modern frontend technologies (HTML/CSS/TypeScript/React) and building delightful user interfaces.
- Extensive experience developing large-scale application software
- Are motivated by solving hard problems, and measure your success in terms of impact doing so.
- Have experience and interest in contributing to services around OAuth, WebAuthN, IdentityProviders, Identity and Access Management
