About the role

Tier-0 identity services handling billions of requests a day, being reshaped for a world where agents act on behalf of users. Trust, authorisation, delegation and policy enforcement, at global scale, with no acceptable downtime.

Existing identity models assume a human behind every action. Agentic systems break that assumption, and GitHub has to solve it earlier than most. US remote, OAuth and OIDC on Kubernetes and Azure. Principal band.
