- Design, implement, and troubleshoot Single Sign-On (SSO) integrations using SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect (OIDC).
- Configure and maintain authentication policies, adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), phishing-resistant authentication, and application sign-on policies.
- Develop and maintain user lifecycle automation, including provisioning, deprovisioning, profile mappings, attribute transformations, group rules, and application assignments.
- Design, configure, and support inbound and outbound identity federation with internal and external Identity Providers (IdPs).
- Develop and maintain custom user profile attributes, application profile mappings, and identity schemas to support business and partner requirements.
- Integrate enterprise applications with Okta while ensuring compliance with organizational security policies and Federal ICAM standards.
- Troubleshoot complex authentication, federation, provisioning, authorization, and identity synchronization issues across cloud and on-premises environments.

- Design and execute automated batch processes for creating, modifying, and updating user identities while ensuring data integrity, consistency, and auditability.
- Develop reusable automation scripts and tools that improve operational efficiency and reduce manual administrative effort.
- Integrate enterprise systems using REST APIs to automate identity management workflows and improve data consistency across identity repositories.
- Evaluate and develop future automation capabilities using Python to support API integrations, reporting, and enterprise automation initiatives.
- Support Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), PIV/CAC authentication, certificate-based authentication, and smart card integrations.
- Develop technical architecture documentation, implementation guides, standard operating procedures, workflow diagrams, and engineering documentation.
- Participate in Zero Trust initiatives by implementing modern identity-centric security controls and authentication mechanisms.
- Analyze identity-related security events and assist with audit, compliance, and forensic investigations.
- Collaborate with cybersecurity, infrastructure, networking, and application teams to implement secure identity solutions.
