Technical Escalations Engineer 2 (Web Platform)

Who You Are

• A self-driven problem solver with an obsession for excellence and continuous learning. You thrive in ambiguity, take initiative, and push beyond expectations.
• A strategic thinker who defaults to a client-centric approach, proactively identifying opportunities to enhance customer experience while balancing technical feasibility.
• An independent, fast learner, capable of picking up new technologies, adapting to evolving priorities, and crafting innovative solutions to complex technical issues.
• A collaborator and mentor, who enjoys sharing knowledge, raising the technical bar for the team, and contributing to a culture of excellence.
• Deeply familiar with authentication standards and patterns (SAML, OIDC, OAuth2, SCIM), and confident debugging access issues across identity providers and account configurations.
• Experienced investigating authorization at enterprise scale, across roles, permissions, data restrictions, and credential lifecycle
• Comfortable with audit and compliance as a product problem rather than just a log, able to reconstruct who did what, when, and why, and to recognize when the record itself is what's broken
• Familiar with the admin persona: managing users and organizations, applying governance controls, and keeping a large account coherent as it grows
• Fluent in data visualization as a discipline, with opinions about which chart suits which question and what makes a dashboard readable at a glance
• Able to troubleshoot a graph end to end, from configuration through query resolution to how it finally renders
