TL;DR · Senior Cybersecurity Engineer, Identity Platform and Access Management

Senior Cybersecurity Engineer – Identity Platform and Access Management joins the Enterprise Security organization to lead the development, deployment, and improvement of large-scale identity and access management systems. This role involves establishing an identity framework for developers, services, and AI agents across cloud, on-premises, and managed device settings. Key responsibilities include leading enterprise identity strategy, modernizing authentication patterns for agentic AI, and building a centralized token issuance and validation service. The candidate will implement advanced security controls like Conditional Access policies, Privileged Identity Management, and risk-based authentication while transitioning applications to OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and SAML standards. Required expertise includes platform engineering, Zero Trust architecture, and securing non-human access patterns. The role addresses the technical challenge of managing identity governance and infrastructure for high-scale, automated, and machine-assisted workflows within a complex multi-tenant environment.

What you'll do

  • Lead enterprise identity strategy and platform architecture for cloud, directory services, and modern authentication standards.
  • Define and implement reference architectures for secure authentication across CLI, browser, and agentic workflows.
  • Architect and deploy a centralized token issuance and validation service for developer and CLI workflows.
  • Establish and manage identities for automated and machine-assisted workflows to ensure robust access control.
  • Implement advanced security controls including Conditional Access policies, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), and risk-based authentication.
  • Scale device management and identity governance systems to support high-growth AI-powered operations.
  • Modernize authentication patterns specifically for agentic AI and developer-scale workflows.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree or Master's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science or a related field.
  • Over 12 years of experience in platform or infrastructure engineering.
  • Extensive knowledge in authentication, authorization, and identity systems including modern token-based protocols, federated identity standards, and device attestation.
  • Demonstrable experience crafting and leading identity or access management platforms within large-scale organizations.
  • Solid understanding of Zero Trust architecture, identity-based attack techniques, and modern IAM controls.
  • Experience securing automated or computer-controlled workflows, including service-to-service identity and non-human access patterns.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills to drive architecture decisions across senior and executive audiences.
  • Experience with token services, delegated access flows, or application development for auth libraries (preferred).
