You will provide technical leadership that gets software services built, delivered and adopted. You will work closely with stakeholders across various design, software and business teams to identify and drive innovative solutions that achieve business goals and align with long-term product roadmaps. You will strive to balance robust security and seamless user experience, raising the security bar while minimizing user interaction complexity.
