Job description

Position Overview

The Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) Engineer is responsible for designing, deploying, configuring, and supporting enterprise-wide Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) solutions using the SailPoint platform (IdentityIQ and/or Identity Security Cloud). This role plays a critical part in strengthening enterprise cybersecurity postures, automating the identity lifecycle (Joiner/Mover/Leaver workflows), enforcing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and aligning identity operations with federal mandates and Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) initiatives. Working closely with security architects, systems administrators, and application owners, the SailPoint Engineer ensures seamless integration, compliance automation, and robust operational resilience.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, configure, deploy, and maintain SailPoint IdentityIQ (IIQ) or SailPoint Identity Security Cloud platforms. Develop custom workflows, rules, forms, policies, and Beanshell/Java scripts.
• Integrate enterprise applications, databases, directories (Active Directory, Entra ID, LDAP), and cloud services with SailPoint using out-of-the-box and custom web services/REST APIs/SCIM connectors.
• Build and maintain automated provisioning and de-provisioning processes for Joiner, Mover, and Leaver (JML) events across hybrid infrastructures.
• Configure and manage periodic access certification campaigns, entitlement catalog structures, and Separation of Duties (SoD) enforcement policies.
• Support the design, implementation, and maintenance of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) models to reduce over-privileged user access.
• Perform system health checks, performance tuning, patching, version upgrades, and database maintenance across non-production and production SailPoint environments.
• Ensure SailPoint configurations align with DoD/Federal cybersecurity standards (STIG compliance, NIST SP 800-53 controls) and support Authority to Operate (ATO) assessments.
• Serve as the senior technical escalation point for complex provisioning errors, identity synchronization bugs, connector failures, and performance bottlenecks.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Minimum of six (6) years of dedicated experience in Identity and Access Management (IAM), with at least four (4) years of hands-on engineering, configuration, and administration of SailPoint IdentityIQ or SailPoint Identity Security Cloud.
• Must possess an active U.S. Government Security Clearance (Secret required).
• Active CompTIA Security+ CE certification (or higher DoD 8570/8140 IAT Level II compliant certification, such as CYSA+, GSEC, or CISSP).
• Superior analytical, troubleshooting, and collaboration skills, with a proven history of managing complex technical deliverables independently.

Technical Expertise:

• Advanced capability in developing Java, BeanShell, and XML components within the SailPoint IdentityIQ framework.
• Demonstrated experience building RESTful APIs, SCIM interfaces, JDBC connectors, and custom application integrations.
• Deep understanding of core identity protocols and directories: SAML 2.0, OAuth, OIDC, Active Directory, LDAP, and PKI/CAC/PIV integrations.
• Solid working knowledge of relational database management systems (Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL) and SQL query writing.
• Direct experience implementing SailPoint solutions within Federal/DoD ICAM programs or Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) environments.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform) and containerized application deployments.
• Familiarity with DevSecOps, automated CI/CD deployment pipelines, and version control systems (Git).
• Hands-on integration experience pairing SailPoint with Privileged Access Management (PAM) tools (e.g., BeyondTrust) or Identity Providers (e.g. Ping, Entra ID).
