Senior Identity & Access Management (IAM) Engineer – Okta

About the Job

As a Senior IAM Engineer, you are a senior individual contributor operating in a complex, business critical environment, recognized for your depth of expertise in Identity and Access Management. You will own and evolve key IAM platforms, serve as a trusted technical resource across security and technology teams, and deliver solutions that directly enable secure access at scale.

This role emphasizes hands-on technical ownership, advanced problem solving, and cross functional influence, without people management responsibility. You will work with significant autonomy, exercising judgment within broadly defined policies, and your decisions will have a material and lasting impact on business outcomes.

What You Will Do

Serve as a senior technical owner for IAM platforms, with primary accountability for design, configuration, integration, and ongoing optimization.

Lead delivery of complex IAM initiatives, including authentication modernization, CIAM use cases, and secure application integrations.

Act as a subject matter expert and advisor to engineering, security, and application teams on identity architecture, access controls, and best practices.

Design and implement scalable authentication and authorization patterns, balancing security, usability, and operational efficiency.

Troubleshoot and resolve high complexity IAM issues, applying creativity and independent judgment to develop durable solutions.

Contribute to the evolution of IAM standards, patterns, and methods; influence platform roadmaps and technical direction.

Partner across organizational boundaries and, when appropriate, serve as a technical lead or principal point of contact for IAM related initiatives.

Support shared operational responsibilities in a clearly defined, sustainable oncall or escalation model.

What You Will Bring

Education & Experience: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience and typically 7+ years relative experience.

Core IAM Expertise: Deep hands-on experience with Okta Identity Engine including authentication flows, lifecycle management, and integrations.

Technical Depth: Strong understanding of SSO, MFA, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, directory services, and identity lifecycle concepts.

Scripting or automation experience (e.g., Terraform, Python, PowerShell) used to improve IAM operations and integrations.

Problem Solving: Proven ability to resolve complex, nonroutine problems using independent judgment within broadly defined standards and policies.

Autonomy & Impact: Demonstrated success operating with minimal direction, setting technical approaches, and delivering outcomes that are critical to organizational objectives.

Collaboration: Ability to influence and partner across teams; experience representing IAM in cross functional initiatives or project leadership roles.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with CIAM implementations, customer facing authentication, or largescale identity integrations.

Exposure to Ping, ForgeRock, or similar IAM platforms in addition to Okta.

Cloud identity experience (AWS, Azure, GCP) and modern zerotrust security patterns.

Relevant security or IAM certifications (e.g., Okta, CISSP, CIAM focused credentials).
