•    Automate account and group provisioning, updates, and deprovisioning while maintaining accurate identity attributes and access entitlements.

•    Support migration from legacy identity platforms to modern services, preserving configurations, identity mappings, provisioning behavior, and application functionality.

•    Implement and maintain virtual directory services, identity data aggregation, synchronization, and replication.

•    Work with application developers to resolve authentication failures, token and claim mapping issues, and authorization inconsistencies.

•    Support identity federation across networks and mission partners, applying approved data-sharing restrictions and cross-domain transfer processes.

•    Protect identity data through encryption, appropriate access controls, and secure service communications.

•    Support identity services in environments with intermittent or limited connectivity, including approved caching and synchronization of identity and authorization information.

•    Use automation and configuration management to establish consistent identity service deployments across environments.

•    Maintain integration documentation, configuration baselines, test procedures, and operational guidance.

•    Experience with Active Directory and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)-based directory services.

•    Understanding of account lifecycle management, group provisioning, identity synchronization, and entitlement management.

•    Experience developing or modifying APIs, scripts, or application integrations supporting identity services.

•    Ability to troubleshoot authentication and authorization issues across applications, identity providers, directories, and network connections.

•    Understanding of role-based and attribute-based access control, least privilege, and protection of identity data.

•    Experience documenting configurations, testing integrations, and managing changes in secure enterprise environments.

•    Ability to meet applicable cybersecurity workforce qualification requirements for the assigned position.
