• Hands-on experience with IAM administration and configuration, including user provisioning, role management, and access reviews.
• Proficiency in Java and related frameworks (Spring, Hibernate) with experience building and maintaining secure applications.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Apaas, or GCP) and deploying IAM solutions in the cloud is a plus.
• Experience with enterprise-level IAM projects in complex, multi-system environments.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills with the ability to analyse and resolve issues quickly.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work in a collaborative, cross-functional environment.
