Job Description

We are looking for an Identity Specialist II / IAM Engineer to join a large public-sector organization in British Columbia. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who has actually designed, built, implemented, and integrated IAM solutions, rather than solely administering existing platforms. The ideal candidate will have experience with Entra ID/Azure AD, Active Directory, SailPoint or another IGA platform, SSO, SAML, OAuth/OIDC, provisioning and identity lifecycle workflows, access governance, MFA, and Conditional Access. You’ll work across both workforce identity (IGA) and customer identity (CIAM) environments, partnering with cybersecurity, architecture, development, and business teams to deliver secure and scalable identity solutions.
