Our intelligent, cloud identity platform lets people shop, work, bank, and interact wherever and however they want. Without friction. Without fear.

- Monitor AI agent performance, usage, operational health, and security across multiple platforms.
- Collaborate with platform, security, and product teams to implement secure AI solutions using authentication, authorization, and least-privilege principles.
- Contribute to observability by implementing logging, metrics, monitoring, and compliance for AI agents.
- Evaluate and adopt emerging AI agent platforms, interoperability standards (such as MCP and Agent-to-Agent communication), and governance technologies.
- Document architecture, governance processes, operational procedures, and engineering best practices for AI agents.

You Have:

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
