IAM Automation & DevOps Engineer(AI)

Job Title: IAM Automation & DevOps Engineer Duration: Long term Note: Hands-on AI/MCP builder experience (agent/tool integrations, identity-driven permissions) Role Overview We are seeking a Senior Identity Access Management (IAM) Engineer who approaches identity through the lens of software engineering and systems architecture rather than traditional administration. The ideal candidate doesn't just manage tools; they build ecosystems. You will be responsible for designing and automating robust identity frameworks that secure our global infrastructure, with a heavy focus on Zero Trust, Workload Identity (NHI), and the emerging frontier of AI Security.

Workload Identity: Standardize and secure Non-Human Identities (NHI) using advanced patterns like SPIFFE/SPIRE. AI Integration: Develop security protocols for AI agents and large language models (LLMs), protecting both the AI itself and the identities it interacts with. Qualifications Zero Trust & Identity Strategy Strong practical understanding of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). Proven experience moving organizations away from perimeter-based security to identity-centric security. Identity Automation & DevOps Engineering mindset: Ability to treat identity infrastructure as code (IaC). Scripting & Development: Advanced proficiency in languages such as Python, Go, or PowerShell. Tooling: Experience developing custom tools and CI/CD pipelines to automate complex IAM workflows. Workload & Non-Human Identity (NHI) Deep familiarity with NHI governance concepts. Hands-on experience with SPIFFE (Secure Production Identity Framework for Everyone) and SPIRE (the SPIFFE Runtime Environment). Experience managing certificates, secrets, and short-lived credentials at scale. AI Security & Innovation Practical experience securing AI agents and machine learning workflows. Understanding the unique challenges of protecting non-human identities in an AI-driven environment. Legal and Equal Opportunity Statement (Optional) This position is open to all qualified candidates.
