Looking for an experienced Identity and Access Management (IAM) engineer with comprehensive knowledge across the IAM landscape—including tools, technologies, protocols, identity governance, authentication, authorisation, and federation strategies.
Essential Skills
:
- A robust background in IAM engineering, with experience spanning various IAM systems, security protocols, product ecosystems, and taxonomy.
- Proficiency in modern authentication standards and frameworks such as OAuth2, OIDC, PKI, and PSD2 SCA, along with experience in possession-based authentication. Familiarity with ForgeRock technologies is essential, including development experience in PingGateway, PingAM, PingIDM, and PingDS. Hands-on experience with JavaScript for scripting PingGateway routes and PingAM authentication nodes is also expected.
- Strong coding skills in JavaScript or Java, with the ability to architect scalable IAM APIs for seamless integration with both internal and third-party applications.
- Practical experience in configuring PingAM custom authentication trees. This includes integration with risk engines and behavioral biometrics (e.g., ThreatMetrix, BioCatch), implementing adaptive and step-up authentication, and establishing secure data connections using LDAPS, JDBC, SOAP, HTTPS, and other protocols.
Desirable Skills:
- Previous success in configuring PingGateway single sign-on routes, dynamic proxies, and filters, or in implementing data links using PingIDM.
- A collaborative mindset and prior experience working closely with security, engineering, product, and compliance teams to champion identity-centric principles across the DevSecOps pipeline.
