• Develop automation scripts for IAM-related operations and provisioning tasks.
• Ensure high availability, performance tuning, and disaster recovery of IAM components.
• Work with enterprise architects to align IAM strategies with overall security and integration roadmaps.
• Document solution designs, configurations, and IAM policies to ensure transparency and maintainability.
• Troubleshoot identity-related issues across development, staging, and production environments.
• Stay current with evolving security standards, identity protocols, and best practices in access control.

Who you are

• Solid experience with LDAP protocols and enterprise directory services (preferably OUD).
• Hands-on experience configuring and managing WSO2 Identity Server or similar IAM platforms (e.g., ForgeRock, Keycloak).
• Understanding of identity federation protocols (SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0).
• Proficient in scripting and automation (e.g., Bash, Python, or Ansible) to manage IAM tasks and configurations.
• Familiarity with RBAC, SCIM, multi-factor authentication, and SSO implementations.
• Basic understanding of security compliance standards (e.g., GDPR, ISO 27001).
• Experience integrating IAM with backend systems, APIs, and microservices.
