THE JOB:
The Software Engineer, Identity and Access Management (IAM) will design, engineer, and implement IAM technologies across the enterprise while serving as a subject matter expert in identity and authentication services. This role requires a Core SailPoint Developer with strong experience customizing SailPoint IdentityIQ (IIQ) to support Joiner/Mover/Leaver lifecycle processes and to build automated provisioning and governance workflows in partnership with the Entra ID, Active Directory, Exchange, ServiceNow (SNOW), and Workday teams. The ideal candidate is a motivated, hands-on professional with deep knowledge of identity services, RBAC, PIM/PAM, MFA, SSO, and security standards (SAML, OAuth, NTLM, LDAP, Kerberos, PKI), as well as experience with platforms such as SailPoint, BeyondTrust, Okta, Azure AD, and Active Directory.

THE DAY-TO-DAY:

Lead the design, development, and optimization of SailPoint IdentityIQ (IIQ), including custom workflows, rules, connectors, JML lifecycle logic, and integrations with systems such as Entra ID, Active Directory, Workday, ServiceNow, and Exchange.
Contribute to and help execute MGMRI’s enterprise IAM strategy by architecting secure, scalable solutions that align with business and regulatory requirements.
Build and maintain IAM processes, policies, standards, and RBAC/certification workflows to support security best practices and reduce organizational risk.
Manage the full lifecycle of IAM systems—architecting, developing, testing, deploying, monitoring, and tuning SailPoint environments and related integrations.
Collaborate with cross-functional partners (Engineering, Compliance, IT, HR) to troubleshoot issues, improve data synchronization, and support seamless provisioning/deprovisioning across the identity ecosystem.
Serve as a key IAM technical expert by participating in code reviews, maintaining documentation, and driving continuous improvement initiatives across the program.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE:

3+ years of hands-on SailPoint IdentityIQ (IIQ) development experience, including advanced rule, workflow, connector, and XML/Beanshell customization, along with strong Java programming skills.
Demonstrated experience designing, building, deploying, and optimizing IAM and software solutions, with additional preference for 4–5+ years of broader software engineering or IAM domain expertise.
Proven ability to integrate SailPoint IIQ with enterprise systems such as Entra ID, Active Directory, ServiceNow, Exchange, and Workday, and to troubleshoot, debug, and performance-tune complex IAM environments.
Solid understanding of identity lifecycle management (JML), RBAC, access governance, and common IAM standards and protocols including REST/SOAP APIs, SAML, and SCIM.
Familiarity with leading IAM tools (e.g., SailPoint, BeyondTrust, Ping Identity, Okta, Azure AD), as well as supporting technologies such as Linux/Unix, PKI authentication, and Java/J2EE development (preferred).
Experience working with DevOps/CI-CD tools such as Jenkins and Ansible, along with industry-recognized security certifications (e.g., CISM, CISSP, CCSP) that reinforce strong security practices (preferred).
