Responsibilities

IAM Ownership

Design and deliver improvements across priority IAM areas, with current emphasis on Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, privileged access management, non-human identity, PKI/secrets, and identity governance.

Privileged Access and Non-Human Identity

Strengthen privileged access management, vaulted credentials, service accounts, workload identities, and secrets through clearer ownership and safer controls.

Identity Governance and Lifecycle

Improve IAM workflows such as access requests, approvals, reviews, provisioning, deprovisioning, ownership tracking, and evidence generation.

Automation

Improve repeatable IAM workflows through maintainable scripts, jobs, APIs, CLIs, Microsoft Graph integrations, safer change patterns, and clearer handoffs.

Service Evolution

Evolve IAM services with monitoring, runbooks, incident response, and fixes that reduce recurring failure modes. Participation in an incident on-call rotation is required.

Collaboration

Work with HR, IT, Enterprise Security, SOC, application owners, and infrastructure partners to make identity controls practical, supportable, and aligned to business needs.

Qualifications

Experience

5+ years in identity and access management, cybersecurity engineering, identity platform engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

Identity Platforms

Hands-on experience with Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Graph, and Conditional Access in an enterprise environment, with working knowledge of Zero Trust, time-bound access, just-in-time access, step-up authentication, and phishing-resistant methods such as FIDO2/WebAuthn, passkeys, or certificate-based authentication.

IAM Domain Depth

Hands-on ownership across multiple IAM domains, with strength in areas such as privileged access management, non-human identity, PKI, secret management (vaulting, rotation), SSO/federation (SAML, OAuth, OpenID), entitlement/access reviews, or lifecycle (J/M/L) and provisioning (SCIM). Familiarity with Active Directory, Group Policy, and authentication protocols (LDAP, Kerberos, NTLM) is valued.

Automation

Proven ability to build or improve scripts, jobs, workflow logic, or lightweight automation using tools such as Python, PowerShell, Go, or equivalent.

Delivery Practices

Comfortable delivering IAM changes through Git-based change, peer review, validation, documentation, and rollback or recovery planning.

AI-Assisted Engineering

Experience using AI-assisted or AI-accelerated tools in real development, documentation, automation, or operational work.

Operations

Experience supporting production or business-critical systems through monitoring, troubleshooting, incident response, and continuous improvement.

Communication

Clear written and verbal communication; effective in reviews, operational handoffs, and cross-team coordination.

Bonus Points

Privileged Access at Scale

Experience with privileged access management at scale, Entra ID Governance, BeyondTrust, privileged session management, RBAC/ABAC, credential vaulting, endpoint password management, Entra ID Governance, entitlement models, or equivalent access-control patterns.

Experience with enterprise secrets management, internal PKI, vault-backed credential handling, X.509/mTLS, KMS/HSM, or secrets-management tooling such as HashiCorp Vault or equivalent.

Platform and Cloud Delivery

Experience with CI/CD, infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation), AWS or equivalent cloud platforms, GitOps, observability, or supportable internal tooling.

Software-Engineering Depth

Experience raising automation quality through testing, versioning, packaging, reusable modules, or maintainable internal tools.

Agentic Workflows

Experience using or shaping AI-agent workflows that go beyond individual prompting, especially for development, automation, documentation, or operations.
