IAM Engineer (Development, Automation & Custom Connectors)

IAM Engineer (Development, Automation & Custom Connectors)

6 months, may extend long term

Position Overview:
We are looking for a hands-on IAM Engineer with a strong development background to design, build,
and maintain custom IAM connectors, microservices, and automation solutions. You will work on
creating scalable IAM solutions that ensure secure and efficient access management processes. This
role requires deep technical expertise in automation, RBAC, microservices, and event-driven architectures to develop and integrate IAM solutions that enhance security while optimizing user access experiences.

Key Responsibilities:

Custom IAM Connector & Microservices Development:
o Design, build, and maintain custom IAM connectors to integrate with various applications,
databases, and services across hybrid environments.
o Develop and maintain microservices to automate critical IAM operations such as access provisioning, termination, session revocation, and policy enforcement. o Implement common patterns and API contracts to ensure consistency and scalability across IAM
services.
Access Automation & Integration:
o Develop automation scripts and integration solutions to streamline access certification
processes, provisioning, and de-provisioning across cloud and on- premise systems.
o Automate just-in-time access provisioning mechanisms and ensure users have access only for the
required duration and based on job roles.
o Implement event-driven architectures to dynamically adjust user access based on behavioral
patterns, security policies, and business needs.
RBAC & Zero Trust Architecture:
o Design and implement Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) models that align with business processes
and security standards.
o Implement Zero Trust access policies and ensure continuous authentication is enforced for every
access request.
o Automate user behavior analysis and integrate risk scoring models to adjust access certifications based on real-time data. Security Incident Response & Session Management:
o Develop tools and workflows to handle termination, suspension, and revocation of access
credentials during security incidents (SIRT).
o Implement and manage the dynamic revocation of access tokens (e.g., SAML tokens) across
integrated systems with minimal disruption.
Collaboration with Cross-Functional Teams:
o Work closely with business analysts, HR teams, and IT stakeholders to understand requirements and
develop IAM solutions that align with business needs.

Collaborate with security teams to ensure IAM systems and integrations comply
with security protocols and meet governance standards.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

Experience:
o Proven experience designing and developing IAM solutions, including building custom IAM
connectors, microservices, and automation workflows.
o Extensive experience with RBAC, Zero Trust security principles, and implementing just-in-time provisioning and access certification.
o Hands-on experience with IAM tools such as Okta, Ping Identity, SailPoint, or custom-built IAM solutions.

Technical Skills:
o Strong coding skills in languages such as Python, Java, or Go, with expertise in developing
automation scripts and IAM system integrations.
o Experience with event-driven architectures and tools like Kafka, AWS Lambda, or similar for IAM
system automation and integrations.
o Familiarity with identity management protocols such as SAML, OAuth2, and OpenID Connect.
o Hands-on experience with cloud-based IAM platforms (e.g., AWS IAM, Azure AD, Google Identity).

Problem-Solving & System Design:
o Ability to design and implement scalable IAM systems to handle complex identity and access
management scenarios.
o Expertise in access control models, session management, and automation to improve security
without sacrificing user experience.

Soft Skills:
o Strong collaboration skills and ability to communicate complex technical IAM concepts to
non-technical stakeholders.
o Detail-oriented and capable of managing multiple projects while ensuring a high standard of
security and compliance.

Preferred Qualifications:

Familiarity with SIRT procedures and emergency access termination processes.
Certifications such as Certified Identity and Access Manager (CIAM).
