• Proven expertise in designing and implementing fine-grained authorization models such as RBAC, ABAC, and ReBAC.
• Strong background in distributed access enforcement mechanisms across complex systems.
• Experience in decomposing legacy permission structures into modular, domain-centric models using Domain Driven Design (DDD).
• Knowledge of designing security frameworks for headless systems, microservices architectures, APIs, and AI/autonomous agents.
• Ability to translate complex access control patterns into clear architectural decision records and executive blueprints.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Conduct a detailed analysis of the current roles and permissions landscape within the primary internal system and select secondary services.
• Map and decompose existing access controls into well-defined domain models to facilitate clear boundaries for enforcement.
• Develop and define an authorization strategy that specifies where and how permission checks should be integrated across system boundaries to support scalable decision-making processes.
• Create a blueprint for a unified, cross-cutting authorization architecture capable of supporting headless workflows, automated processes, and AI agents.
• Collaborate with development teams to ensure the proposed architecture aligns with existing systems and future scalability goals.
• Document architectural decisions, provide technical guidance, and support implementation efforts during the project lifecycle.
• Stay informed on emerging trends in security, AI integration, and authorization frameworks to recommend best practices and innovative solutions.
