Requirements
At least 5 years of experience in Identity & Access Management, Security Engineering, or Cloud Security roles with increasing responsibility
Demonstrated experience working in or supporting FedRAMP High or Moderate environments, or equivalent U.S. public-sector frameworks (e.g., FISMA, StateRAMP), including control implementation, continuous monitoring, and audit support (e.g., NIST 800‑53, Authority to Operate (ATO) and ATO‑ready processes, and Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M))
Subject matter expertise in securing workforce identity and access at scale in an enterprise environment using platforms such as Okta, AWS IAM, GCP IAM, and Azure AD
Strong understanding of authentication and authorization in modern environments, including OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, MFA, and phishing-resistant authentication methods
Deep experience designing and operating RBAC models, access patterns, and identity governance workflows, including identity lifecycle (provisioning, deprovisioning, access reviews, and just‑in‑time access)
Experience securing non-human identities (e.g., service accounts, workloads, automation identities, and agentic AI systems), including lifecycle management, secret/key management, and least‑privilege access design
Responsibilities
Lead the administration and enhancement of IAM platforms, including Okta, AWS IAM, GCP IAM, and Azure AD, ensuring secure, least-privilege, and scalable access models for both human and non-human identities (service accounts, workloads, automation and agentic AI systems) across our workforce and cloud environments
Architect and implement SSO and authentication solutions (SAML, OIDC, OAuth2, MFA), including signals sharing and global token revocation, to strengthen user and workload verification and session security
Design, implement, and continuously improve RBAC, access models, and identity governance workflows, ensuring strong access hygiene, clear separation of duties, and audit readiness
Define and standardize patterns for non-human identity lifecycle and access (e.g., cloud workloads, automation tools, agentic AI systems), ensuring consistent, least‑privilege access across environments
Automate complex identity lifecycle processes (provisioning, deprovisioning, access changes, and just‑in‑time access) using Terraform/OpenTofu, CloudFormation, Python, and Tines, reducing manual effort and error rates
Secure multi-cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure) from an identity and access perspective, focusing on IAM policies, resource permissions, preventative controls, and alignment with our enterprise cloud strategy
