Identity is at the heart of modern cyber security. Help us engineer it well.
We are looking for a Cyber Security Identity Engineer to join Avant’s Security Engineering team and help build, automate and continuously improve identity controls across our cloud, SaaS and on-premises environments.
This isn’t a routine access administration role. You’ll work hands-on across the identity lifecycle, engineering solutions that strengthen security, reduce manual effort and help our technology and business teams move securely.
Key activities:
- Engineer IAM capabilities across IGA, PAM, authentication and access provisioning
- Build and improve joiner, mover and leaver processes
- Deliver access certification, role and entitlement management and least-privilege controls
- Configure MFA, Conditional Access, SSO and federation
- Onboard applications into identity governance and privileged access platforms
- Automate identity processes using scripting, APIs and workflow technologies
- Apply DevOps-style approaches to make identity engineering more repeatable and scalable
- Help remediate excessive access, orphaned accounts, standing privilege and segregation of duties issues
- Work with Security, Technology, Architecture and business teams to embed identity controls into technology change
What we are looking for:
- Hands-on identity or security engineering experience and strong knowledge across areas such as IGA, PAM, JML, RBAC, access certification, authentication, SSO and directory services.
- Experience with SailPoint, BeyondTrust, Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, Okta or CyberArk is beneficial, but it’s your identity engineering fundamentals, automation mindset and ability to learn that matter most.
- Experience with scripting and automation using technologies such as PowerShell, Python, APIs, Power Automate or Logic Apps.
If you enjoy getting under the hood of identity platforms, automating manual processes and solving complex access challenges, this could be a great next move.
