IDAM solutions architect

Key Responsibilities

* Designing and Architecting IAM Systems:

* Create comprehensive, scalable, and secure IAM frameworks, covering core components such as Authentication, Authorization, User Lifecycle Management, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Privileged Access Management (PAM), and Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions.

* Develop technical designs, architectural blueprints, and strategic roadmaps based on defined business requirements and security policies.

* Integration and Implementation:

* Oversee and execute the integration of IAM tools (e.g., SailPoint, Okta, CyberArk) with legacy and modern enterprise systems (e.g., Active Directory, Azure AD, LDAP directories, J2EE applications).

* Utilize APIs, web services, and other integration methodologies to ensure seamless functionality across multi-tiered environments.

* Manage the deployment, rigorous testing, and lifecycle management of all IAM components.

* Assessing and Improving Security:

* Perform vulnerability analyses, situational testing, and risk assessments on IAM infrastructure, applications, and networks to identify and mitigate security weaknesses.

* Develop and implement solutions to protect sensitive data, including PKI (Public Key Infrastructure), advanced encryption methods, and robust certificate management processes.

* Collaboration and Stakeholder Engagement:

* Act as the primary technical subject matter expert (SME), working closely with business leaders, IT teams, Security Architects, and Project Managers.

* Gather requirements, align on technical strategies, and resolve complex cross-functional issues.

* Participate in governance processes, contribute to security policy development, and support internal and external audits to enforce standards and best practices.

* Innovation and Strategy:

* Research, evaluate, and develop enterprise-wide strategies for new and emerging IAM technologies (e.g., Passwordless, Zero Trust).

* Drive the adoption of standard reference architectures and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.

* Provide technical expertise as an escalation point for complex IAM-related issues.

* Monitoring and Maintenance:

* Conduct ongoing system monitoring, performance optimization, break-fix repairs, and platform upgrades.

* Generate key performance metrics, review security logs, and ensure continuous compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).
