Sr. Identity and Access Management Engineer

The Challenge

As a Senior IAM Engineer, you will design, build, and operate core identity security capabilities across the enterprise. This includes Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) architecture, Privileged Access Management (PAM), and secrets management, as well as the automation and integrations that enable secure access at scale.

This role is responsible for multiple areas of IAM (not just a single platform), and will contribute at a strategy, design, and execution level—partnering with Security, IT, and Engineering teams to deliver secure, reliable identity services.

Your Mission

IAM / IGA Architecture & Engineering

Architect and implement IGA capabilities including identity lifecycle (joiner/mover/leaver), access request workflows, approvals, provisioning/deprovisioning automation, certifications, and role/entitlement governance.

Design and maintain the identity lifecycle management (ILM) framework and controls across the environment.

Build and enhance IAM integrations (e.g., HR source, directories, SaaS apps) using industry standards (SCIM, SAML/OIDC, APIs) and automation patterns.

Privileged Access Management (PAM) & Secrets Management

Engineer and mature PAM controls and operating processes for privileged identities and activities, including access request/approval patterns, time-bound elevation, auditing, and least privilege enforcement.

Implement and manage secrets management capabilities (vaulting, rotation, access control, auditability) for human and non-human identities, including service principals and automation identities.

Scripting, Automation, and Development

Develop automation using scripting and software engineering practices (e.g., PowerShell/Python/Bash), including CI/CD-friendly workflows and infrastructure-as-code patterns (e.g., Terraform).

Create repeatable solutions for access governance, role engineering, connector onboarding, reporting/analytics, and operational runbooks.

Operations, Incident Support, and Continuous Improvement

Respond to IAM operational work (tickets/requests) requiring engineering changes and enhancements.

Assist in investigation and remediation of IAM incidents and issues, improving controls and automation to prevent recurrence.

Conduct proofs-of-concept (POCs), partner with vendors, and recommend solutions aligned to security and business requirements.

Collaboration, Advisory, and Documentation

Serve as a trusted advisor to stakeholders—translating complex IAM topics into clear recommendations and implementation plans.

Produce and maintain technical documentation, standards, and procedures supporting audits and operational readiness.

Mentor peers and positively influence the team’s technical direction.

Required Technical Skills (Must Have)

IGA architecture & engineering expertise (identity lifecycle, RBAC/ABAC concepts, access reviews/certifications, entitlement modeling, SoD/least privilege).

Privileged Access Management (PAM) concepts and hands-on implementation (JIT/JEA, session controls, privileged identity separation, auditing).

Secrets management (vaulting, rotation, access policies, non-human identity security).

Scripting and development skills (e.g., SQL, JavaScript, PowerShell, Python, Velocity, SOAPUI, ARC, Postman, Java/J2EE, Bash; API integration; Git-based workflows).

Experience designing and operating IAM controls in modern enterprise environments (cloud + SaaS) - especially Azure, including authentication/authorization and identity governance patterns.

Preferred Skills (Nice to Have)

Experience with IGA platforms (e.g., Saviynt, SailPoint, Omada) and IAM directories/IDPs (e.g., Entra ID/Azure AD).

Experience with PAM and secrets tooling (e.g., CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust, Akeyless, HashiCorp Vault, Azure Key Vault, AWS Secrets Manager).

Familiarity with compliance frameworks and evidence collection for audits (SOX/SOC2/ISO27001-style controls).

Experience integrating IAM with ticketing/workflow systems and operational processes.
