We’re seeking a Lead IAM Engineer to own the technical direction and evolution of our enterprise identity and access management strategy. In this senior individual contributor role, you’ll architect, build, and continuously improve a secure, scalable, and automated identity ecosystem centered on Okta, identity lifecycle, access governance, and automation.
You’ll partner across Information Systems, Security, Engineering, Financial, and People Systems to ensure employees, contractors, partners, applications, and services have the right access at the right time while maintaining strong security, governance, reliability, and user experience.
A major focus of this role will be improving onboarding, access-change, and offboarding reliability, reducing manual administration, strengthening access governance, and expanding automation across our identity ecosystem. You’ll help modernize how identity configuration changes are managed through APIs, infrastructure as code, automated workflows, and repeatable engineering practices.
You’ll also help strengthen the broader Identity & Access capability by developing reusable patterns, improving documentation and operational resilience, mentoring other engineers, and reducing key-person dependencies across critical identity services.
If you’re an experienced IAM engineer with deep Okta expertise who enjoys both defining architecture and getting hands-on with automation, integrations, governance, and platform engineering, we’d love to meet you.
Main responsibilities:
Own the technical roadmap and architecture for enterprise Identity & Access Management, with Okta as a core identity platform
Architect and continuously improve Okta capabilities across SSO, authentication, lifecycle automation, Workflows, Identity Governance, and Access Requests
Design reliable onboarding, role-change, and offboarding identity processes for employees, contractors, partners, and other user populations
Build and improve integrations between Okta and systems such as Workday, Google Workspace, Slack, GitHub, Atlassian, MDM, and other enterprise applications
Drive identity automation using Okta Workflows, APIs, scripting, Terraform, and other engineering tools
Modernize how identity configuration changes are made through infrastructure as code, automated validation, peer review, and controlled deployment where appropriate
Lead identity governance initiatives including access reviews, access requests, role-based access, approval workflows, entitlement management, and least-privilege controls
Design and implement authentication, federation, and provisioning solutions using SAML, OIDC, OAuth, SCIM, MFA, and related identity standards
Partner with Security on authentication standards, privileged access, identity risk, and zero-trust initiatives
Support and continuously improve identity-related SOX controls, audit evidence, access reviews, and remediation processes
Design identity solutions for partners, resellers, service accounts, machine identities, and other non-standard access needs
Serve as a senior escalation point for complex identity issues and lead root cause analysis when identity or lifecycle processes fail
Identify recurring administrative or support work and create automation, self-service, runbooks, or delegated workflows to reduce manual intervention
Establish repeatable engineering standards for how identity changes are designed, tested, deployed, and documented
Mentor other engineers and help build broader IAM expertise and independent backup coverage across the team
Evaluate emerging identity capabilities and recommend where they can improve security, reliability, scalability, or user experience

Требования

Deep hands-on expertise with Okta in a complex enterprise environment, including SSO, Lifecycle Management, Authentication, MFA, Workflows, and Identity Governance

Strong experience with identity governance including access reviews, entitlement management, access requests, role-based access control, and least privilege
Strong scripting and automation skills using Python, PowerShell, or similar languages
Strong API integration experience and the ability to connect identity platforms with broader enterprise systems
Experience with Terraform or another infrastructure-as-code framework
Experience turning manual identity administration into scalable, automated, and auditable processes
