• Experience with IdP and identity tooling (e.g., Okta, Active Directory, Google Workspace), including defining and enforcing Role‑Based Access Control (RBAC) policies and Least Privilege principles across enterprise applications

• Familiarity with endpoint engineering for macOS and Windows

• SW Eng/Dev engineering and DevOps proficiency: Python and/or Go, Terraform, GAM scripting, Powershell scripting, JSON, Javascript

• Demonstrated experience deploying new IT systems and processes across the organization with high user satisfaction

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to operate independently with a high level of ownership

• Experience with Okta, Salesforce, NetSuite, Workday, GCP, GWP, Microsoft Entra/Azure/Intune, JAMF

• Backend and API testing/experience is a plus
