About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the enterprise identity platform as an engineering system — architect SSO integrations, lifecycle workflows, MFA policy, and group provisioning in Okta using IaC as the source of truth; configuration drift is a bug, not a ticket
Engineer the identity lifecycle management layer — design access control models and codify provisioning/deprovisioning workflows in IaC, partnering with HR systems to eliminate manual access operations and return clean provisioning capability to the helpdesk tier
Engineer access governance across the cloud and SaaS portfolio — own role assignments, group structures, and access controls across cloud infrastructure and collaboration platforms; design and automate periodic access reviews so auditability is structural, not procedural
Harden the device-to-identity trust boundary — own device trust integrations between our identity provider and MDM platforms, ensuring device compliance signals are correctly evaluated in access policy and that the control surface is fully codified
Rationalize and consolidate legacy identity surface — lead the technical cleanup of orphaned accounts, stale SSO integrations, and guest access sprawl across the SaaS portfolio; treat this as technical debt reduction with measurable outcomes
Build the IAM measurement layer — define, instrument, and track KPIs (access review completion rates, provisioning latency, orphaned account age, ticket volume trends) that justify investment decisions and demonstrate program maturity to Security leadership
Define the identity layer of our access request platform — architect the entitlement structures and access controls exposed through our self-service access tooling; codify the configuration in IaC and own the integration contract between identity infrastructure and the employee-facing access experience
Contribute to a unified service catalog — ensure identity workflows are clearly surfaced through a single employee-facing entry point and that the handoff between self-service and engineer-owned provisioning is unambiguous
Use AI coding agents as a first-class part of the identity engineering workflow — draft and validate Terraform modules, provisioning logic, and access-policy changes with AI assistance, and own review of anything AI-generated before it reaches production identity infrastructure

Requirements

What you’ll need

Production experience in engineering and operating an enterprise identity platform at scale; SSO, lifecycle management, MFA, application integrations, and group-based access, with a strong bias toward configuration-as-code over manual administration
Strong IaC skills are required (Terraform or equivalent) applied to identity infrastructure — you write modules, manage state, and treat IaC plans as the change control mechanism
Deep working knowledge of SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and SCIM — you can debug a broken SAML assertion, reason through an OAuth flow, and design a SCIM provisioning schema without looking things up— including hands-on experience with custom authorization servers
Experience designing access control models in SaaS-heavy, remote-first environments. You understand the difference between a pragmatic access model and one that will collapse under growth
Experience governing access across cloud and SaaS platforms via SSO and SCIM — including group structures, permission boundaries, and collaboration platform controls
Comfort writing code to automate identity operations — Python, Go, or similar; you reach for a script before you reach for a ticket
Track record of defining measurable outcomes for security/identity programs and communicating them to non-technical stakeholders
Demonstrated fluency with AI coding/agent tools in a production engineering context — you can describe an end-to-end AI-assisted workflow you built (not just tool usage), and you know how to review AI-generated IaC or configuration before it ships
