* Can we present a single interface for all of our workforce, contractors, partners, and users that allows them to view and edit all of their own Identity related information as well their peers (employee info, application access, org hierarchy, MFA & personal devices, etc.)?
* Can we make it frictionless for developers to integrate authentication into progressive microservice architectures by providing intuitive user friendly libraries?

Day-to-day responsibilities include:

* Own the experience of Cruise users with security, from discovery and definition to development and results
* Provide front-end coding expertise, and iterate to improve Security services based on user feedback

* Work closely with the engineering team to ensure thorough understanding and implementation of use cases and requirements
* Quickly develop and maintain detailed user interface specifications: create process flows, wireframes, and visual design mockups as needed to effectively conceptualize and communicate detailed interaction behaviors
