About the role

US only. Authentication and authorization for GitHub itself, and for the apps and integrations built on it. Backend services in Go, at the point where an outage stops everybody working.

Mostly backend, with enough frontend collaboration to keep admin workflows and developer experience coherent. GitHub had several identity seats on the board at once.
