Job Title: IAM Engineer

The Security Operations and Enterprise Security team is responsible for protecting the organization’s workforce and systems through proactive security engineering, governance, and monitoring. Within this team, the Identity and Access Management (IAM) function focuses on securing employee access to enterprise systems, enforcing governance policies, and reducing identity-related risks. This role reports to the Director of Security Operations and Enterprise Security and plays a key part in building a scalable and secure identity infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on SailPoint and zero trust principles.

Your Impact:

• Design, implement, and manage identity lifecycle and access governance processes to support a secure and scalable IAM capability across the organization.
• Develop and configure SailPoint IdentityNow workflows, rules, connectors, and integrations to enable automated provisioning and deprovisioning.
• Collaborate with HR, IT, and engineering to integrate IAM into core employee systems and ensure accurate, policy-driven access throughout the user lifecycle.
• Apply zero trust principles to enforce least privilege and implement just-in-time access across privileged roles.
• Support and enhance access control policies, RBAC models, and entitlement management across enterprise applications.
• Provide hands-on technical support to the IAM Architect to maintain and evolve a complex hybrid IAM environment.
• Write scripts and use APIs to automate identity processes and integrate third-party applications into the IAM ecosystem.
• Monitor and improve IAM performance, ensuring alignment with threat detection and prevention goals.
• Contribute to the maturity of the IAM function within a growing team, with opportunities to shape its long-term direction and scalability.

Your Qualifications:

• Solid experience in identity and access management, ideally within a large or enterprise-scale organization.
• Extensive experience implementing and supporting SailPoint IdentityNow, including workflow development and connector configuration.
• Strong understanding of IAM concepts including identity lifecycle management, access provisioning, and privileged access governance.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell, with experience integrating via RESTful APIs.
• Familiarity with identity standards and protocols such as SAML, OAuth, SCIM, and LDAP.
• Experience working with role-based access control (RBAC) models and automating provisioning/deprovisioning processes.
• Exposure to zero trust architecture and JIT access models.
• Knowledge of software development practices, SDLC, and Agile methodologies.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across technical and business teams.

Preferred Skills:

• Background in workforce IAM within a corporate security function.
• Experience working in hybrid environments with both on-premise and cloud-based systems.
• Understanding of access governance frameworks and audit/compliance requirements.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment, balancing complexity and speed of delivery.
• Desire to contribute to the growth and development of an internal IAM capability with a strong engineering focus.

This is a high-impact opportunity to work at the center of our enterprise security program, helping to build and secure a modern identity ecosystem for our workforce. You’ll work closely with stakeholders across the business, gain exposure to advanced security infrastructure, and shape the future of IAM in a high-growth, tech-forward environment.
