Senior IAM Engineer

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in Identity and Access Management engineering, including multi-cloud and hybrid enterprise environments.
• Strong knowledge of Azure AD / Entra ID , AWS IAM , and SAML / OIDC / OAuth2 / SCIM protocols.
• Proficiency with identity automation using PowerShell, Python, Terraform, or APIs .
• Experience with PAM platforms (CyberArk, BeyondTrust, or Azure PIM) and IGA tools (SailPoint, Saviynt, or Okta).
• Familiarity with conditional access , MFA enforcement , and passwordless authentication in large-scale environments.
• Understanding of zero trust architecture , least privilege design , and role-based access control (RBAC) principles.

Additional Information

Senior Identity and Access Management (IAM) Engineer Department: Information Security Reports to: Senior Director, Information Security Role Summary You will be a hands-on IAM engineer who designs, automates, and scales secure identity and access controls across cloud and enterprise environments. You'll build paved-road patterns for identity federation, least privilege, and just-in-time access - ensuring that authentication and authorization boundaries are strong, measurable, and frictionless. Success in this role means turning identity into an enabler : making secure access seamless for users, applications, and services while maintaining the highest standards of governance and compliance. What You'll Do (Core Responsibilities) Architect and Automate Identity Foundations Design and maintain secure-by-default IAM architectures across Azure AD / Entra ID, AWS IAM, and hybrid enterprise systems . Develop paved road templates for access control patterns (e.g., federated access, role assumption, service accounts, workload identity). Automate provisioning and deprovisioning pipelines using identity APIs, SCIM, and workflow orchestration tools (e.g., SailPoint, Okta Workflows, Azure Automation, or Terraform). Implement policy-as-code for IAM guardrails (e.g., least-privilege enforcement, conditional access, MFA requirements, privilege expiration). Access Control, Federation, and Governance Engineer federated identity solutions for users, applications, and partners using SAML, OIDC, and OAuth2 . Manage conditional access policies , adaptive authentication , and passwordless strategies to balance security with user experience. Define and enforce least privilege for human and machine identities across AWS, Azure, and SaaS platforms. Integrate IAM governance with enterprise GRC systems to ensure traceability and audit readiness. Partner with AppSec and Cloud teams to secure authn/z boundaries across applications, APIs, and services. Privileged Access Management (PAM) Implement and maintain privileged access vaulting and session control using platforms like CyberArk, BeyondTrust, Delinea, or Azure PIM. Automate just-in-time elevation for administrative roles and enforce time-bound access approvals. Continuously monitor and remediate excessive privileges across cloud and on-prem accounts. Integrate PAM telemetry with SIEM/SOAR for threat detection and behavioral analytics. Lifecycle and Risk Management Automate joiner/mover/leaver processes and identity lifecycle events through API-driven workflows and HR system integrations. Conduct periodic access reviews and certifications; deliver evidence for SOC2, PCI, and ISO audits. Develop and maintain dashboards for leading indicators (automated provisioning rate, MFA coverage, stale accounts) and lagging indicators (MTTR for access removal, orphaned identities, failed recertifications). Prioritize remediation through risk scoring (criticality × exposure × privilege depth) and ensure compliance with internal SLAs. Detection and Response Integration Collaborate with Security Operations to define identity-related detections (impossible travel, lateral movement, privilege abuse). Correlate identity events with endpoint and cloud telemetry to identify compromised accounts. Assist in incident response for identity-based breaches, credential theft, and access abuse.
