We are looking for a Senior IAM Security Engineer to own, operate, and continuously improve our Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) platform. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys solving complex identity challenges, leading production support efforts, designing scalable integrations, and improving identity governance capabilities across the enterprise.
You will serve as the primary technical owner of our IGA platform implementation, ensuring reliable identity lifecycle management, access governance, and integration with enterprise systems including our ERP, Active Directory, Entra ID, and other critical business applications. This role balances hands-on engineering, operational ownership, governance maturity, and technical leadership.
Our IAM program is continuing to mature and expand. This role will play a critical part in improving platform reliability, reducing manual effort, strengthening governance controls, and enabling future identity initiatives and broader enterprise security capabilities.
Core Responsibilities:
Operate and Own IAM Services (Primary)
- Own day-to-day operation, support, and reliability of the IGA platform
- Troubleshoot and resolve provisioning, deprovisioning, reconciliation, and identity lifecycle failures across our ERP, Active Directory, Entra ID, and integrated applications
- Serve as the primary escalation point for IAM operational incidents and complex access issues
- Perform root cause analysis and implement long-term corrective actions to prevent recurring issues
- Monitor platform health, job execution, provisioning success rates, and service performance
- Develop and maintain operational runbooks, support documentation, and knowledge articles
- Participate in production support processes, change control, peer reviews, and CAB activities
Engineer IAM Integrations and Platform Capabilities
- Design, build, enhance, and support IGA platform connectors, workflows, rules, policies, analytics, and certifications

- Ensure IAM solutions are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with enterprise security requirements
Advance Identity Governance Capabilities
- Support and improve Joiner, Mover, Leaver (JML) lifecycle processes
- Implement and maintain access request workflows, approval processes, and entitlement management
- Design, execute, and improve access certification campaigns and remediation activities
- Contribute to role-based and attribute-based access models (RBAC/ABAC)

- Assist with identity correlation, reconciliation, entitlement cleanup, and governance optimization efforts
Reduce Toil and Improve the Platform
- Identify manual processes and develop automation solutions to improve efficiency and reliability
- Improve platform observability, monitoring, reporting, and operational metrics
- Develop dashboards and reporting that provide insight into platform health and governance effectiveness
- Improve testing practices, deployment processes, and operational maturity
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on scalability, reliability, and user experience
Provide Technical Leadership and Ownership
- Serve as the technical lead for IAM engagements involving application teams and business stakeholders
- Guide technical design discussions and recommend IAM best practices
- Conduct peer reviews and contribute to engineering standards and reusable implementation patterns
- Mentor junior engineers and share knowledge across the IAM team
