Job Overview:

We are seeking an experienced Identity and Access Management (IAM) Architect with a strong AI and agent-integration focus to lead the design, proof-of-concept (POC), and hands-on implementation of identity patterns for AI workloads, conversational agents, and AI platform integrations across the enterprise. The ideal candidate combines deep IAM architecture expertise with practical engineering skills-building POCs, configuring OAuth/OIDC flows, and partnering directly with AI engineering teams to secure agent runtimes, tool access, and human-in-the-loop experiences.

This role owns IAM architecture for AI use cases, including delegated and service-to-service access, API gateway/BFF token flows, scoped credentials, and governance alignment. You will design and validate OAuth/OIDC patterns (Auth Code + PKCE, OBO, token exchange, client credentials) across identity providers (PingOne AIC, Entra ID), gateways, and agent platforms. The AI IAM Architect partners across AI/platform engineering, IAM, security, and enterprise architecture to define reusable, secure, and production-ready identity standards for agents.

Key Responsibilities:

• Discover AI/agent identity requirements across users, services, runtimes, tools, and APIs.

• Assess existing SSO, MFA, federation, and API authorization models; identify gaps in delegation, token lifecycle, scopes, secrets, and auditability.

• Design enterprise IAM patterns (user context propagation, delegation chains, BFF sessions, least-privilege access) and OAuth/OIDC client models.

• Define standards for securing agent tools, data access, and cross-domain integrations; align to zero trust and regulatory controls.

• Produce architecture artifacts (CAD/HLD/PSS) and reference implementations.

• Lead and build IAM POCs (end-to-end flows, token exchange, gateway enforcement, delegated agent access).

• Configure/test identity flows; troubleshoot tokens, scopes, and integrations.

• Implement or guide IAM integrations across gateways, BFFs, agent orchestration, and observability.

• Transition validated patterns to IAM engineering for production rollout.

• Define agent identity lifecycle (registration, credential rotation, revocation, environment separation).

• Integrate IAM across AI platform components; support CI/CD and IaC for IAM configurations.

• Establish patterns for human-in-the-loop controls, break-glass access, and rate limiting.

• Maintain documentation, decision records, diagrams, and runbooks.

• Deliver POC summaries, evaluations, and implementation guidance; communicate risks and dependencies.

• Ensure regulatory compliance; partner on threat modeling and controls (secrets, PAM, audit evidence).

• Serve as IAM SME for AI initiatives; mentor engineers.

• Deliver production-ready IAM patterns and reduce identity risk across AI workloads.

Requirements:

• 10+ years in IAM, security architecture, or platform engineering with significant IAM scope.

• 2+ years building IAM POCs and troubleshooting OAuth 2.0 / OIDC flows (Auth Code + PKCE, refresh tokens, client credentials, token exchange, OBO).

• 2+ years with PingOne AIC and/or Microsoft Entra ID.

Core Competencies:

• Hands-on experience designing identity for APIs, microservices, and BFF architectures.

• Experience integrating IAM with API gateways, AI/ML platforms, and modern application stacks.

• Strong knowledge of SAML, OAuth, OIDC, JWT, scopes, and authorization patterns.

• Familiarity with agent/tool identity models and secure integration patterns.

• Ability to translate AI requirements into secure identity designs; strong communication skills.

Preferences:

• Experience delivering AI/ML agents or copilots to production.

• Experience with SailPoint, CyberArk/Delinea, or Auth0/CIAM.

• Knowledge of AI-aware API gateways (e.g., Kong).

• Experience with IAM modernization or M&A programs.

• Relevant certifications (CISSP, CCSP, Entra, Ping, SailPoint, AWS).

• Familiarity with zero trust and identity threat detection.

Pay Range:

$153,470.00 - $255,749.00
Actual base salary varies based on factors, including but not limited to, relevant skill, prior experience, education, base salary of internal peers, demonstrated performance, and geographic location.
