Full job description

We're looking for engineers who are excited to apply their expertise to our mission of securing some of society's most sensitive data.

- Drive the organization's zero trust strategy end to end - treating identity, device health, network context, and application sensitivity as continuous inputs to access decisions rather than one-time gates

- Design and maintain least-privilege access patterns, Just-in-Time (JIT) access, and Privileged Access Management (PAM) controls

- Deploy, configure, and maintain MDM infrastructure for the macOS fleet, ensuring device compliance feeds directly into zero trust access policy decisions

- Enforce SSO-required policies, review and restrict OAuth scopes, and audit third-party integration access

- Build processes and tooling to detect shadow IT, unauthorized OAuth app grants, and SaaS tools that bypass identity controls

- Evaluate and deploy AI-native security tooling where it demonstrably reduces analyst burden or closes coverage gaps faster than traditional approaches

- Define and enforce security standards for AI agent and LLM service identities - including scoped API keys, short-lived credentials, and workload identity federation

- Develop and enforce CIS/NIST-aligned configuration baselines

- Meaningfully reduce manual toil through automation and, where applicable, AI-assisted tooling

- Deep, hands-on IdP expertise (preferably Okta) - SSO, SCIM, MFA, Lifecycle Management, and NHI management are all areas you can speak to with depth and demonstrate in practice

- Demonstrated experience implementing zero trust architecture in practice - not just familiarity with the framework, but hands-on delivery of continuous verification, device trust integration, and least-privilege enforcement across an organization

- Strong working knowledge of identity protocols: SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0, and SCIM

- Proficiency managing macOS endpoints at scale using Fleet or an equivalent MDM platform

- Foundational cloud IAM experience across at least one major provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure) - enough to audit, scope, and remediate identity issues

- Demonstrated track record of building automation that eliminated recurring manual work

- Scripting proficiency in in at least one language, preferably Python

- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders.

- Strong understanding of operating systems fundamentals (MacOS/Linux/Windows)

- Experience with ZTNA platforms (Cloudflare Access, Zscaler Private Access, Tailscale, or similar) and the operational patterns around replacing VPN with identity-aware access

- Hands-on use of AI coding assistants (Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or similar) to increase velocity

- Experience governing AI/ML service identities or securing LLM API integrations

- Familiarity with PAM solutions such as HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or Okta Privileged Access

- Okta Certified Administrator, Okta Certified Consultant, or equivalent certification
