• 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 on‑prem AD/Adaxes, Entra , Okta, AWS IAM, and 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 authentication flows and provisioning processes.
• Enable rapid application onboarding – create automation frameworks and integration patterns that allow the business to onboard new SaaS applications with minimal manual intervention while maintaining security and compliance standards.

• Drive technical innovation in the identity space – evaluate emerging tools and practices, establish CI/CD pipelines for IAM deployments, and leverage AI‑powered development tools responsibly to accelerate automation delivery.

• Software development proficiency – 5+ years writing production code (Python, Power Shell, Go, or similar) with strong API and SDK integration experience.
• IAM architecture skills – deep understanding of SSO protocols (SAML, OIDC), provisioning standards (SCIM), directory services (Active Directory, Entra ), and enterprise IAM platforms (Okta strongly preferred).
• Infrastructure‑as‑Code mastery – hands‑on experience with Terraform, Ansible or similar tools, plus CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments.
• Dev Ops/SRE practices – experience building observable, reliable systems with appropriate monitoring, logging, and incident response capabilities.
• Workflow automation platforms – demonstrated ability to implement and govern low‑code/code‑first automation tools (Tines, Workato, n8n or similar).
• Platform experience – hands‑on experience with Okta, Entra /Azure AD, Active Directory, Adaxes, AWS IAM, GCP Cloud Identity, Tines, and integrations with HRIS systems (Workday, Bamboo
  
  HR, ADP).
