Senior Security IAM Engineer
Job details
About this role
Role overview Design, build, and operate identity and access management systems across cloud platforms, SaaS applications, and remote access environments. This hands-on security engineering role focuses on reducing identity risk through least-privilege design, infrastructure-as-code automation, and reliable access workflows. You’ll work with engineering, infrastructure, and security teams to make access safer, more consistent, and easier to audit.
Responsibilities - Evolve identity architecture across cloud, SaaS, AI tooling, and remote access systems. - Develop federated identity, workforce access, role-based and attribute-based controls, and Zero Trust patterns. - Improve least-privilege access, segmentation, cross-account access, and governance of service accounts and workload identities. - Build and maintain reusable Terraform modules and workflows for roles, policies, groups, application assignments, and permission sets. - Automate identity lifecycle tasks, access requests, approvals, entitlement changes, reviews, and reporting. - Use code review and CI/CD practices to make access changes repeatable, traceable, and safe to roll out. - Partner with technical teams to reduce excessive permissions and improve access visibility and auditability.
Requirements - The available source describes a senior, hands-on IAM security engineering role, but does not provide a complete list of required qualifications. It emphasizes practical experience designing and automating identity and access controls across cloud and SaaS environments. - Relevant technical areas named in the role include AWS, Google Cloud, Okta, Terraform, and identity federation standards such as SAML, OIDC, OAuth, and SCIM. - The work calls for engineering judgment around least privilege, access risk, automation, and safe production changes.
