Job Title:

Lead IAM Security Engineer
- Cyber Ark PAM On Site

Work Location:

Lutz, FL 33549 Contract Length: 12+ Months

We are seeking a senior identity & access management (IAM) engineer/lead to help advance and modernize an enterprise IAM program. This is a highly strategic, engineering-focused role centered on improving IAM capabilities, driving automation, and strengthening security governance across the organization.

This position is not intended for candidates whose primary experience consists of day-to-day IAM administration, ticket resolution, or operational support. Routine Tier 1 and Tier 2 administration is handled by an external support partner. The successful candidate will focus on engineering, innovation, and long-term program development.

We are seeking professionals who:

• Challenge the status quo and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Drive IAM program maturity through engineering and modernization.
• Develop strategic roadmaps and execute long-term initiatives.
• Automate manual processes to improve efficiency and reduce risk.
• Design scalable IAM solutions rather than perform routine operational work.
• Partner effectively with third-party service providers while maintaining ownership of strategic initiatives.
• Bring a strong engineering and problem-solving mindset.

Successful candidates should expect to spend 90%+ of their time on:

• IAM program maturity
• Identity engineering
• Roadmap development and execution
• Enterprise integration planning
• Process improvement initiatives
• Partner governance
• Automation and orchestration
• Audit readiness and compliance improvements

Less than 10% of the role involves:

• Routine operational support
• Manual access certifications
• Administrative IAM tasks

Examples of the type of work expected include:

• Expanding enterprise application integrations into the IAM platform.
• Building and executing strategic IAM roadmaps.
• Identifying and securing non-human identities and service accounts.
• Developing PKI and certificate management strategies.
• Automating audit evidence collection and compliance reporting.
• Designing scalable identity governance processes.

• Approximately 5+ years of Identity & Access Management experience (exceptional candidates with fewer years but significant accomplishments will be considered).
• Demonstrated success improving, modernizing, or implementing enterprise IAM programs.
• Experience developing strategic IAM solutions rather than performing primarily operational support.
• Strong engineering, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently while partnering across technical and business teams.

Experience with one or more of the following technologies is highly desirable:

• Cyber Ark Privileged Access Management (PAM)
• Palo Alto PAM solutions
• Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) platforms
• Microsoft Identity solutions
• Single Sign-On (SSO)
• Access Management
• Authentication and Identity Federation technologies

The following certifications are considered a plus:

• Cyber Ark certifications
• Identity Governance (IGA) certifications
• Microsoft Identity certifications
