- Engage directly with sophisticated customers like Figma and Databricks to translate complex enterprise identity needs into platform features and APIs.
Who this is a fit for

- Proven track record of operating effectively in fast-scaling startup environments, possessing the ability to bridge the gap between technical depth and business value.
- Experience or strong interest in building AI-native products, particularly in the context of automated authorization and machine-identity management.
Why this role is remarkable
