ABOUT THIS ROLE

About This Role

We're seeking a Senior IAM Automation Engineer to transform how Apex manages workforce identity and access management. This role combines Dev Ops/SRE practices with deep IAM expertise to eliminate manual, UI-based processes and build self-service, API-driven solutions that scale across our hybrid and multi-cloud environment. As a senior technical contributor, you'll also mentor junior team members and help elevate the team's overall automation and engineering capabilities.

You'll focus on workforce identity (employees, contractors, partners) while collaborating with our CIAM team who handles customer-facing identity services. As a technical leader, you'll drive the implementation of Tines as our strategic automation platform, develop infrastructure-as-code for identity systems, and architect integrations that enable the business to move fast without compromising security.

As IAM evolves with AI adoption, you'll help lead our response to emerging non-human identity (NHI) challenges, partnering with Sec Ops to develop governance for AI agents, service accounts, and machine identities. You'll also leverage AI tools effectively and responsibly in your daily work to accelerate automation development and problem-solving.

This role requires someone who can write production code, architect distributed systems, and translate business requirements into automated solutions, not just configure IAM platforms.

What You'll Do

* Lead Tines platform implementation and governance - Define technical standards, architect RBAC models, and build workflows that automate employee lifecycle management, access requests, and certification campaigns. Partner with cross-functional teams to establish Tines as the firm-wide automation platform for workforce identity use cases.

* Build infrastructure-as-code for identity systems - Develop and maintain Terraform, Power Shell, and Python automation across our hybrid infrastructure (on-prem AD/Adaxes, Entra , Okta, AWS IAM, GCP/GCI) to enable repeatable, version-controlled deployments with proper change management.

* Design API-driven automation and integrations - Architect scalable solutions that orchestrate identity workflows across HRIS (Workday), ticketing (Service Now), collaboration platforms (Slack, Teams, M365), and enterprise applications, leveraging APIs and SDKs to eliminate manual processes.

* Implement observability and self-healing capabilities - Build monitoring, alerting, and automated remediation for identity systems to reduce operational toil, improve reliability, and enable proactive issue detection across…
