The position is hybrid, with three days a week in the Scottsdale, Arizona office preferred. Dallas, Texas; Charlotte, North Carolina; and California are also considered locations. The engineer will assess identity environments, deliver IGA implementation and operations, automate identity lifecycle processes, engineer Microsoft and cloud access controls, establish privileged-access and governance standards, and ensure identity service reliability. The role also includes coordinating with business and technical stakeholders, guiding implementation partners, mentoring and cross-training engineers, tracking identity-security measures, producing audit evidence, and driving remediation.
