• Passion for testing methodologies, debugging, and ensuring high-quality code
  
  

Bonus points for:

• Experience with languages like Go, Rust, Kotlin, Swift, JavaScript, or similar — or the ability to learn new languages quickly

• Familiarity with LLM frameworks (LangChain, Semantic Kernel, etc.)

• Knowledge of identity/security platforms (Okta, Auth0, ForgeRock, Ping Identity)

• Experience deploying or securing cloud-based AI infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  
  

What you can expect:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, security, infrastructure, AI/ML) throughout the development cycle to ensure smooth releases

• Communicate technical requirements and trade-offs clearly to stakeholders

• Participate in planning: breaking down work, estimating effort, and contributing to project planning

• Write comprehensive unit and integration tests to ensure reliability and resilience of AI and security systems

• Review code from teammates, maintaining quality while fostering a culture of open feedback

• Document code and processes to ensure long-term scalability and maintainability

• Stay informed on the latest trends in AI and security, proactively sharing knowledge with the team
