Knowledge of securing APIs, including input validation, mTLS, authentication, and authorization mechanisms for RESTful and gRPC APIs
Experience designing and implementing SDK architecture patterns including dependency injection, plugin systems, retry logic, and error handling strategies
Deep understanding of Identity and Access Management (IAM) concepts including RBAC, ABAC, OAuth, OpenID Connect, as well as Policy-as-Code systems like Open Policy Agent and Rego
Knowledge of client-side security best practices including secure credential storage, token refresh patterns, and protection against common attacks (CSRF, XSS, token leakage)
