We are seeking a SailPoint Identity Now Engineer to join the Identity Security team. This role will lead the design, implementation, and operation of modern Identity Governance (IGA) solutions, with a focus on SailPoint Identity Now. The role also extends to emerging areas such as non‑human identity (NHI) security, AI/agent identities, and automation‑first identity workflows.

Success in this role requires deep technical expertise, strong problem‑solving skills, and the ability to modernize identity platforms aligned with cloud, API, and AI‑driven environments.

• Lead end‑to‑end implementation and operation of SailPoint Identity Now (design, deployment, and optimization).
• Develop and support custom workflows, integrations, and automations using APIs, scripting, and event‑driven patterns.
• Manage identity lifecycle and governance for both human and non‑human identities (service accounts, APIs, bots, AI agents).
• Configure and maintain integrations with enterprise systems (e.g., AD, Workday, Service Now, databases, REST services).
• Implement and optimize access certifications, role models, and compliance controls.
• Troubleshoot complex identity and access issues and drive root‑cause resolution.
• Contribute to automation‑first IAM strategy, reducing manual operations via scalable engineering solutions.
• Partner with cross‑functional teams (SRE, infra, app teams) on identity integrations and migrations.
• Produce technical documentation and support secure development, testing, and code reviews.

• 5+ years experience in IAM/IGA, with 2+ years on SailPoint Identity Now.
• Strong hands‑on expertise with Identity Now (workflows, connectors, roles, certifications), APIs, JSON, REST integrations, and Postman scripting (Java, Power Shell or similar).
• Experience integrating enterprise applications (AD, Workday, Service Now, DBs, SaaS apps).
• Strong understanding of cloud identity architectures and distributed systems.
• Familiarity with modern authentication (OAuth2, OIDC, client credentials / app‑to‑app auth).
• Experience with automation and Dev Sec Ops  tooling.

• Experience managing non‑human identities (NHIs) and machine‑to‑machine authentication at scale.
• Understanding of AI/ML in identity security (risk‑based access, anomaly detection, behavioral analytics).
• Exposure to identity governance for AI agents (access control, lifecycle, monitoring).
• Knowledge of Zero Trust and Just‑in‑Time (JIT) access models.
• Familiarity with API security and identity orchestration patterns.
• Awareness of AI security risks (e.g., data leakage, misuse of privileged access by agents).

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent experience.
• SailPoint Identity Now Certification (preferred).
• Relevant security certifications (CISSP, CISM, CCSP) are a plus.
• Strong analytical, communication, and cross‑team collaboration skills.
