What Does a Identity & Access Management Engineer Do?

What We Screen For

Hands-on experience with at least one major IdP (Okta, Azure AD, or Ping Identity), SAML/OAuth/OIDC protocol understanding, PAM experience (CyberArk, BeyondTrust, or Delinea), and scripting for automation (Python or PowerShell). Zero trust architecture experience is valued.
