About the role

Senior hands-on Technical Lead responsible for end-to-end identity, from IDP architecture to privileged access, secrets management, and access governance, with focus on enterprise IAM across humans, non-human identities, and AI agents.

Responsibilities

  • Define the long-term IAM strategy, roadmap, and operating model across the enterprise and product ecosystem.
  • Assess and mature the current-state Identity Provider (IDP) architecture, identifying gaps and driving the path to a resilient, scalable design.
  • Drive all identity systems toward Zero Trust principles - secure, scalable, and frictionless by default.
  • Automate the full identity lifecycle beyond traditional IGA joiner-mover-leaver (JML) processes.
  • Implement and enforce RBAC for human and non-human identities at scale.
  • Define and operationalize least-privilege policies across all systems and environments.
  • Centralize secrets management - keys, tokens, certificates - across cloud and enterprise environments.
  • Design and deliver Privileged Access Management (PAM) for admin accounts spanning enterprise IT and cloud engineering.
  • Implement a scalable access management model for AI agents and bots.
  • Collaborate with IT Apps and infrastructure teams to enforce and enable SSO across the enterprise.
  • Own the implementation and governance of authentication protocols (SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0) and modern identity standards.
  • Partner with engineering, security, IT, compliance, and product teams to deliver access management capabilities that enable the business and satisfy audit requirements.
  • Translate complex identity requirements into clear, executable technical plans and communicate tradeoffs to senior stakeholders.

Qualifications

  • 8 - 12+ years in identity engineering, security engineering, or a closely related discipline.
  • Hands-on architecture or engineering experience in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  • Demonstrated track record of leading complex, cross-functional IAM programs from design through production.
  • Deep expertise in modern IAM technologies: directories (LDAP/AD), IDPs, federation, and authentication protocols (SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0).
  • Practical experience implementing Zero Trust identity models and PAM frameworks.
  • Strong understanding of identity governance, IGA tooling, and role lifecycle management.
  • Hands-on experience with secrets management platforms (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, GCP Secret Manager).
  • Experience with non-human identity and machine identity management in large-scale environments.
  • Experience building access controls for AI workloads, agents, or service accounts at scale.
  • Familiarity with SCIM provisioning and automated IGA workflows.
  • Excellent communication and influencing skills - you can make identity concepts accessible to non-technical audiences and drive alignment without authority.
