  • As a Senior IAM Engineer, you will serve as a key subject matter expert (SME) within the broader Information Security organization, driving secure, scalable, and user-friendly identity solutions in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
  • You will own complex IAM initiatives end-to-end — from strategy and architecture to implementation and optimization — while collaborating closely with Security, Infrastructure, Application, and Engineering teams
  • This is a high-impact, hands-on role suited for someone who thrives in ambiguity and takes extreme ownership of outcomes
  • Design and implement enterprise-grade IAM solutions across on-prem, cloud, and SaaS environments
  • Architect and deliver end-to-end federation strategies using modern protocols (SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0, SCIM)
  • Lead integration and optimization of key IAM platforms including SailPoint, Okta, PingOne, Microsoft Entra ID, and other tools
  • Drive Identity Lifecycle Management (LCM), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Privileged Access Management (PAM), and Just-In-Time access initiatives
  • Develop automation scripts and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) to improve provisioning, governance, and operational efficiency
  • Serve as the primary IAM SME, providing technical guidance, troubleshooting complex issues, and mentoring other team members
  • Work closely with InfoSec, Compliance, and Engineering teams to meet audit, regulatory, and security requirements
  • Continuously improve IAM architecture, processes, and capabilities in a dynamic, fast-moving organization
  • Support cloud IAM strategies across AWS, GCP, and other platforms
  • Participate in on-call rotation and incident response related to identity systems
