ABOUT THE ROLE:
The Identity & Access Management (IAM) Architect is a key member of the IAM team. This role shapes and delivers the organization's global identity architecture across workforce IAM, privileged access, identity governance, customer identities, non-human identities, and non-employee and contingent-worker identities.
The architect translates business, security, threat, and operational requirements into resilient identity solutions. The role provides technical direction while remaining directly involved in design, integration, testing, implementation, and complex troubleshooting across cloud, enterprise, application, and security environments.
This role requires deep expertise in modern identity threats and defensive controls. The architect must recognize exploitable trust relationships and attack paths, understand how adversaries compromise human and nonhuman identities, and design preventive, detective, and responsive controls that materially reduce identity risk.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Own end-to-end technical architecture for workforce IAM, customer identity, privileged access, identity governance, non-human identities, and non-employee identities, translating business requirements into resilient solutions
• Lead technical design reviews and provide authoritative guidance to IAM, application, infrastructure, cloud, cybersecurity, and business teams
• Design, configure, build, integrate, test, and troubleshoot IAM solutions, including proofs of concept and production-ready implementations
• Partner with engineers and analysts to implement designs, resolve complex issues, translate governance requirements, and establish effective operational handoffs
• Design identity lifecycle and access controls for employees, contractors, third parties, and other contingent workers, including joiner, mover, and leaver processes
• Design secure customer identity patterns that protect accounts and sessions while supporting appropriate authentication, authorization, privacy, and user experience
• Architect lifecycle, privilege, credential, and monitoring controls for privileged and nonhuman identities, including service accounts, application identities, workloads, secrets, keys, and machine credentials
• Advance access governance capabilities including requests, approvals, certifications, role and entitlement design, segregation of duties, and policy enforcement
• Threat-model identity architectures and remediate attack paths involving credentials, tokens, sessions, federation trusts, privileged roles, delegated permissions, and nonhuman identities
• Apply Zero Trust principles through phishing-resistant authentication, adaptive access, device and workload trust, token and session protection, least privilege, continuous evaluation, and controls that limit blast radius
• Integrate identity providers, cloud IAM, access governance, privileged access, security telemetry, zero-trust access, and service-management capabilities using vendor-neutral patterns
• Partner with security operations and incident response teams to produce actionable identity telemetry, detection logic, investigation context, containment options, and post-incident improvements
• Automate IAM processes, remove standing access, and prioritize control improvements based on threat likelihood, exploitability, blast radius, and business impact
• Ensure identity solutions are auditable and satisfy applicable privacy, financial-control, and regulatory obligations without compromising effective security design

WHAT YOU'LL BRING:

• Deep technical expertise and extensive hands-on experience across identity lifecycle management, authentication, authorization, federation, access governance, customer identity, privileged access, cloud IAM, and nonhuman identity controls
• Expert-level understanding of Zero Trust architecture, least privilege, continuous access evaluation, authentication assurance, trust boundaries, and risk-based authorization
• Deep knowledge of SAML, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SCIM, LDAP, APIs, tokens, sessions, federation, and modern identity integration patterns
• Demonstrated expertise identifying and mitigating identity threats such as adversary-in-the-middle phishing, credential and token theft, session hijacking, MFA bypass, password attacks, consent phishing, OAuth abuse, privilege escalation, and nonhuman identity compromise
• Experience implementing phishing-resistant authentication, adaptive access, device and workload trust, token protection, session controls, and just-in-time privileged access
• Ability to design integrations, diagnose complex identity flows, analyze attack paths, challenge unsafe trust assumptions, and select controls that reduce likelihood and blast radius
• Deep understanding of security and governance controls for privileged accounts, service accounts, application identities, workloads, secrets, and machine credentials
• Experience designing identity telemetry, detections, investigation workflows, and response playbooks in partnership with security operations teams
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to document architecture, explain technical risk, and influence outcomes without direct authority

REQUIREMENTS:

To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required.

• Extensive professional experience designing, implementing, integrating, securing, and supporting enterprise identity and access management solutions
• Demonstrated experience serving as a hands-on technical architect, solution designer, lead engineer, or equivalent IAM subject-matter expert responsible for complex troubleshooting
• Relevant identity, security, cloud, or architecture certifications are a plus
• Experience operating IAM capabilities across a global, hybrid, and multi-cloud environment preferred
• Experience with identity threat detection and response, identity attack-path analysis, or exposure-management practices preferred
• Experience securing privileged and nonhuman identities at enterprise scale preferred
• Hands-on experience using infrastructure as code, scripting, APIs, workflow automation, and software-development practices to automate IAM capabilities preferred

The pay range for this position is $160,000-$185,000/yr USD.
