About the Team & MissionThe team focuses on Identity Architecture & Solutions by crafting, building, and operationalizing scalable identity and SaaS security capabilities enterprise-wide. This technical role depends on members passionate about Identity & SaaS Security functions, identity architecture strategy, and encouraging teamwork. We collaborate as an organization to reduce identity-centric risk, with each member essential to delivering security value and outcomes.
The Challenge- Engineer Zero‑Trust access controls for workforce and service identities. Develop and implement pipelines using RBAC and ABAC standards. Include device and posture checks and risk‑adaptive policies for critical services and high-risk scenarios.

- Participate in tool POCs and deployments for SaaS security posture monitoring. Define baselines for M365, Slack, GitHub, Workday, and Google. Build remediation runbooks and posture success measurements.
- Instrument identity metrics collection and tracking by standardizing log schemas for authentication, authorization, and entitlement changes. Publish dashboards showing privilege drift, misconfigurations, and access sprawl. Coordinate risky events with security alert procedures.
- Contribute and drive architecture & standards: author implementation guides and reference architecture that supports a multi‑year strategy passionate about measuring risk reduction over time. Inclusive of new technologies and risks.
What is needed to succeed- Experience with enterprise identity controls and solutions, including delivering outcomes that use Entra ID/AD, Okta, and SailPoint (or equivalents)
