• Create comprehensive documentation and runbooks detailing system configurations, operational procedures, and troubleshooting steps across the system lifecycle
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for integrating changes and deploying to production through progressively tested environments
• Deliver configurations and maintain state using configuration management tools
• Facilitate incident response, conduct root cause analysis, and participate in blameless retrospectives
• Define metrics and bolster monitoring/observability across corporate IAM systems
• Participate in a regular on-call rotation to ensure 24x7 uptime for critical systems

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience building, iterating upon, and maintaining corporate IAM systems
• 5+ years of experience with cloud infrastructure and application development
• Deep domain knowledge with prominent cloud identity providers (examples listed: Okta, Duo, Auth0, EntraID, Ping)

• Strong experience using and managing AWS, GCP, Azure, or other cloud environments with Infrastructure as Code
• Strong understanding of CI/CD workflows, automation frameworks, and best practices
• Clear communication skills and ability to explain technical concepts simply

Nice to haves

• Experience working in a highly regulated environment
• Experience in a fast-paced, high-growth company
