• Solid understanding of application and infrastructure security practices, including secure configuration, access control, encryption in transit and at rest, and working within customer security requirements
• Hands-on experience configuring SSO and identity integration using standards such as SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect, and LDAP/Active Directory, with several identity providers (for example, Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and Keycloak)
