Own end-to-end architecture and technical direction for 's IDV platform - the decision engine, vendor orchestration layer, and verification infrastructure that all business lines depend on.
Lead platform consolidation by migrating all IDV onto a single decision-engine-driven platform, retiring 100+ legacy rules and fragmented paths, and eliminating single-vendor points of failure.
Design and build vendor-agnostic orchestration with automated, real-time routing and failover that selects the optimal vendor per request and dynamically balances fraud prevention (FAR) against user access (FRR/SCR).
Scale the platform to support every new product, region, and verification modality (document, biometric, liveness) with self-serve configuration so any team integrates IDV without a dependency request.
Drive cross-team technical strategy and set the abstractions, APIs, and platform patterns that the broader Identity org builds on, influencing at the Staff level across multiple pods.
