Job Description

We are seeking an Identity and Access Management (IAM) Engineer to help modernize and evolve our identity platform into a strategic trust, governance, and authorization architecture supporting employees, applications, machine identities, cloud services, data platforms, and emerging AI technologies.

This role will contribute to the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of identity governance, privileged access management, Zero Trust initiatives, modern authorization models, and data-centric access controls across hybrid enterprise environments.

The ideal candidate combines strong technical expertise with a governance-first mindset and understands that identity is more than account management. Identity serves as the foundation for securing enterprise resources, governing access to critical data, enabling automation, and supporting trusted human and non-human interactions across the organization.

This position plays a key role in the organization's transition from traditional identity administration toward a modern identity security and governance model capable of supporting future business, cloud, and AI-driven initiatives.

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
