  • Identity Lifecycle: Engineer automated provisioning and de-provisioning services for application on-boarding and off-boarding, ensuring a seamless user experience.

Governance & Security

  • Access Control: Design and implement Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) models, Separation of Duties (SoD) policies, and organization access review strategies.
  • Compliance: Ensure solutions adhere to regulatory standards (e.g., NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, ISO 27001) and support access certification campaigns.
  • Security Best Practices: Apply secure coding practices and maintain a strong understanding of SAML, OIDC, OAuth, and PKI protocols.

Operations & Support

  • System Maintenance: Support and maintain IAM environments, including performance tuning, health monitoring, and troubleshooting IGA rules and workflows.
  • Incident Management: Assist in monitoring, troubleshooting, and providing problem resolutions for end-user issues and platform incidents.
  • Reporting: Generate metrics and reporting on identity health, access reviews, and compliance status.

Collaboration

  • Team Partnership: Work collaboratively with cross-functional technical leads and business stakeholders to facilitate application integration.
  • Documentation: Create comprehensive technical documentation, including system diagrams, process flows, and operational procedures.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree and 5 years of experience or the equivalent job experience.
  • Extensive hands-on experience with SailPoint (IdentityIQ or IdentityNow).
  • Strong knowledge of identity lifecycle management, RBAC, and access governance.
  • Experience with scripting and automation (Python, PowerShell, Bash).
