The former is built to service managed service providers (MSPs) and resellers who administer Bitwarden organizations on behalf of separate, external customers. The latter is is built for a single company's own administrators to manage multiple Enterprise organizations that all belong to that same company (e.g., different business units, subsidiaries, or departments). Both portals give administrators a single, centralized experience for creating and managing multiple Bitwarden Enterprise organizations at scale.</p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="1320" data-local-id="57c92ac2a60e">This Lead Software Engineer role is <strong data-renderer-mark="true">hands-on</strong> and <strong data-renderer-mark="true">does not carry any expectations for people management</strong>.
