Zero Trust ICAM Engineer
The Opportunity:

At a certain level of expertise, designing secure, scalable, and adaptive identity solutions becomes second nature. With extensive experience across identity governance, identity providers, and privileged access management, you not only solve complex problems but also anticipate and mitigate future vulnerabilities.

As an ICAM Engineer within the Department of War, you'll craft solutions that strengthen national defense and safeguard mission-critical assets while championing a zero-trust strategy. Using your expertise, you'll design scalable architectures, govern access policies, and enable seamless integration across a vast IT ecosystem. You'll develop solutions across Identity Providers (IdPs) to enhance authentication and SSO, Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) to enforce access controls, and Privileged Access Management (PAM) to protect privileged accounts from exploitation. Your leadership will modernize identity strategies, support secure collaboration, and ensure resilience against cyber threats.

What You'll Work On:

• Design and implement identity architectures aligned with zero trust principles.
• Secure identity lifecycles across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments.
• Create architecture products, design specs, and technical requirements for identity and access strategies.
• Evaluate and integrate technologies for IdPs, IGA, and PAM systems like PING, SailPoint, and Beyond Trust.
• Transform legacy identity systems into scalable, secure, and efficient platforms.
• Mentor and develop engineers, fostering innovation and technical excellence.

On our team, you'll go beyond solving present-day challenges, you'll help shape the future of secure technology in national defense. You'll secure systems, modernize identity frameworks, and strengthen the Department of War's zero trust initiative, making a lasting impact on protecting critical infrastructure and advancing cyber defense. Together, we'll create a safer, more resilient digital future.
