Auth platform

The Enterprise Platform team at LinkedIn drives growth and customer value by building highly scalable and reliable systems that support core business functions such as enterprise identity and access management, SSO authentication, licensing, and product administration. We create standards-based integrations (e.g., SCIM, SAML, OAuth 2.0, SFTP) to enable seamless external customer interactions, while ensuring the protection and security of data. Our systems manage $10 billion in annual revenue, facilitating ease of use across LinkedIn's enterprise applications and accelerating business growth through streamlined, integrated solutions.

Build with platform scalability in mind - this flow can be scaled to be used across all enterprise-grade applications at LinkedIn out-of-the-box. - Led a team of engineers and acted as liaison to partner eng teams to introduce and bring a new revenue stream to LinkedIn called Premium Duo. - Led internal mentorship with young engineers to help them navigate their career at LI and in the future. - Act as point of contact for all projects between Product, Design, Directors, and external partners. This involves keeping stakeholders informed of current progress and communicate concerns early with possible resolutions.
