Responsibilities
- Own the target architecture and roadmap for IAM and AI-enabled platforms aligned with business strategy, Zero Trust, privacy, security, and responsible AI.
- Design identity, lifecycle, credential, authorization, delegation, governance, audit, and threat-detection capabilities for human and non-human identities.
- Design agentic AI systems with planning, tool use, multi-step workflows, bounded autonomy, human approval, runtime isolation, observability, and safe-failure controls.
- Lead AI-native engineering across requirements, architecture, coding, testing, reviews, documentation, deployment, and operations.
- Use and govern AI coding agents for repository analysis, implementation, refactoring, testing, debugging, code review, documentation, and delivery automation.
- Architect resilient, cloud-native, distributed, event-driven, and API-first systems with strong production readiness and cost efficiency.
- Lead architecture reviews, threat modeling, technical discovery, proofs of concept, build-versus-buy analysis, and cross-functional technical decisions.
- Partner with product, engineering, security, data, operations, compliance, and legal teams to deliver secure, auditable, resilient solutions.
- Mentor architects and engineers and produce architecture guidance, threat models, diagrams, evaluations, and runbooks.
Requirements
- 12+ years of experience designing and delivering complex software platforms with substantial architecture, technical leadership, and cross-functional delivery responsibility.
- 7+ years of IAM experience covering customer or workforce identity, federation, SSO, MFA, passwordless access, lifecycle governance, privileged access, and fine-grained authorization.
- Hands-on experience designing and building agentic AI solutions using planning, tool invocation, retrieval, context or memory, multi-step workflows, and human or policy controls.
- Hands-on, day-to-day experience using AI coding agents for repository analysis, implementation, refactoring, testing, debugging, reviews, documentation, or delivery automation.
- Experience governing AI-generated code through human review, automated testing, security scanning, secrets and dependency checks, provenance, and auditability.
- Strong generative AI knowledge covering models, prompt and context engineering, retrieval, model and tool selection, evaluation, observability, cost, and responsible AI.
- Strong experience with cloud-native, distributed, multi-tenant systems, APIs, asynchronous messaging, containers, infrastructure as code, automated delivery, and observability.
- Deep IAM knowledge including OAuth, OpenID Connect, SAML, SCIM, FIDO2/WebAuthn, passkeys, PKI, workload identity, secrets, and policy-based authorization.
- Strong system-design fundamentals across domain and API design, resilience, consistency, scalability, performance, security, privacy, data architecture, and operations.
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in a relevant discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
- Preferred qualifications include experience with AI-agent identity and authorization, agent-to-tool and agent-to-agent integration, Model Context Protocol, AI-assisted engineering adoption, AI red-teaming and incident response, adaptive access, behavioral analytics, threat detection, model-agnostic AI platforms, and software or AI supply-chain security.
- Strong written and spoken English communication skills.
