- Assisting in the adoption of standard authentication and authorization patterns based on OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect
- Supporting API security controls via API Gateway (preferably Kong), including authentication flows and policy enforcement
- Helping engineering teams integrate identity solutions into their APIs/services following established security guidance
- Writing and maintaining infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) under existing patterns and reviews
- Supporting and troubleshooting Kubernetes workloads related to identity services (deployments, configs, runtime issues)
- Contributing to cloud security and architecture discussions with a security‑first mindset
- Participating in operational routines: on-call support (when applicable), incident response support, post-incident follow-ups, and improvements
- Improving documentation, runbooks, and internal enablement materials for identity integrations
- Continuously learning modern identity, cloud security, and DevOps practices, and applying them in day-to-day work
