Identity Security Engineer

Soni's client is looking for a hands-on
Senior Identity Security Engineer
to design, automate, and continuously improve identity lifecycle controls, federation, and governance across Okta, AWS IAM, and a modern SaaS/cloud environment.

This role is all about eliminating manual identity processes—building automation so provisioning, access changes, and deprovisioning happen reliably and at scale, without relying on ticket queues.

Responsibilities:

• Design and automate joiner/mover/leaver (JML) workflows using Okta, HRIS integrations, and APIs

• Build provisioning/deprovisioning pipelines and birthright access models

• Implement federation (SAML/OIDC/OAuth) and integrate SaaS applications with Okta

• Develop Okta Workflows, Lambda functions, and API-driven automations

• Govern non-human identities (service accounts, API keys, tokens) with strong lifecycle controls

• Engineer privileged access (PAM), secrets management, and least-privilege IAM architectures

• Automate access reviews, attestation, and compliance evidence for SOC 2 / HIPAA

• Eliminate manual identity operations through automation-first engineering

• Leverage AI-assisted development to accelerate workflow and integration delivery

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of IAM or security engineering experience

• Strong hands-on experience with Okta (Lifecycle Management, Workflows) and AWS IAM

• Experience building SAML/OIDC/OAuth federations and SaaS integrations

• Proficiency in Python, PowerShell, or JavaScript for automation and API work

• Proven track record automating identity processes (JML, access reviews, provisioning)

• Deep understanding of least-privilege access and identity governance

• Familiarity with SOC 2 / HIPAA identity controls

• Curiosity for emerging tools—especially AI-assisted development—and a drive to automate everything possible

• Ability to operate independently and deliver end-to-end engineering solutions

Nice to Have:

• Experience with PAM and just-in-time access models

• Non-human identity governance and secrets management

• Okta certifications or cloud/IaC experience (Terraform, CloudFormation)

• Background in regulated environments (healthcare, finance, insurance)

• Security certifications (GIAC, CISSP, etc.)

• Experience with tools like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar

Compensation:
$120,000 to $135,000 annually

*Compensation is based on a range of factors that include relevant experience, knowledge, skills, other job-related qualifications*
