Job Description:
A solid individual contributor responsible for designing, implementing, and supporting IAM solutions across multiple environments with minimal supervision. This role actively develops automation to streamline operational tasks, implements subsystem-level security designs, and serves as an escalation point for complex technical issues.
 
Key Responsibilities
  • Design and implement secure IAM configurations across multi-cloud and hybrid identity environments, applying Zero Trust principles to develop and tune conditional access policies and cloud IAM roles.
  • Develop, test, and maintain automation scripts (Python, PowerShell) and low-code workflows (e.g., Okta Workflows) to streamline user lifecycle management (LCM), reduce manual effort, and improve accuracy.
  • Independently manage the end-to-end integration of new applications into the IAM ecosystem, including SSO, MFA, IGA, and PAM solutions, applying Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) models.
  • Implement and configure IAM controls for non-human identities, such as service principals in Azure or Cloud Infrastructure platform (AWS, GCP, Oracle), ensuring they adhere to the principle of least privilege.
  • Create and maintain modular and reusable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules (e.g., Terraform) for the repeatable and consistent deployment of IAM resources.
  • Manage secrets and credentials for applications and services using a vaulting solution and enterprise Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical identity and access issues across both cloud and legacy systems, performing root cause analysis and implementing preventative measures.
  • *For development-focused roles: Develop, test, and maintain custom automation scripts and simple applications that interact with REST APIs to extend IAM platform capabilities.
 
Example Projects or Deliverables
  • Design and build an automated workflow in Okta Workflows to deprovision access from a set of high-risk applications within one hour of receiving a termination event from the HR system.
  • Develop a reusable Terraform module to standardize the creation of IAM roles in AWS, incorporating permissions boundaries and mandatory tagging policies.
  • Implement Just-in-Time (JIT) access for a defined set of privileged roles using a PAM solution, reducing standing privileged access by 75% for that group.
  • Create a comprehensive dashboard to monitor for anomalous login patterns, correlating data from the IdP, cloud platforms, and legacy directory services.

  • *For development-focused roles: Proficiency in a scripting or programming language (Python, Go) and hands-on experience consuming REST APIs.
  • Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Cybersecurity or related experience required.
