We are seeking people who enjoy solving complex technical challenges, working directly with customers to understand their needs, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to enhance our platform. If you're passionate about identity security, automation, and making access management seamless for enterprises, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll do:
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to prospects and customers on identity governance, authentication, authorization, and access control strategies.
  • Architect and deliver technical solutions spanning IGA, IAM, CIEM, and PAM, mapping business requirements into scalable identity architectures.
  • Lead workshops, whiteboard sessions, and demos that showcase the business value of identity automation, access governance, and zero trust.
  • Design and implement integration strategies across AWS, GCP, and Azure, with a strong understanding of native identity services, policies, and entitlement models.
  • Nerd out on protocols and standards like SAML, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SCIM, and FIDO2 - and explain them to both engineers and CISOs.
  • Build, test, and troubleshoot custom integrations and workflows using APIs, SDKs, and Terraform/automation frameworks.
  • Stay ahead of industry trends (IGA, CIEM, Just-in-Time access, Zero Trust, identity for machine/non-human accounts) and share thought leadership with internal teams and customers.

You would be an excellent candidate if....
  • 1-3 years in a technical pre-sales, solutions engineering, or identity architect/engineer role, OR equivalent hands-on experience in IAM/IGA/AI.
  • Foundational understanding of authentication, authorization, identity services (Okta, Entra AD, LDAP, Google Workspace), and cloud IAM basics.
  • Practical knowledge of directory services (Okta, Entra ID, LDAP, Google Workspace, on-prem AD).
  • Hands-on cloud experience with AWS IAM/IAM Identity Center, GCP IAM, and Azure AD/role-based access models, including how to govern them with IGA.
  • Comfort with GO, APIs, SDKs, JSON/YAML, scripting, and automation, Terraform or similar IaC tools.
  • Great communication skills and ability to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Curiosity about identity security and drive to deepen technical knowledge over time.
  • Willingness to travel for customer meetings, partner events, or industry conferences.

Extra Credit if ...
  • Industry-recognized certifications (CCSP, CISSP, AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.)
  • You enjoy building new things and presenting new ideas.
  • You love helping customers understand and solve their access management challenges.
