IAM Security Architect (AI-assisted)

Quick Facts

• Role: IAM Security Architect (AI-assisted)

Description

You will design, implement, and optimize secure Identity and Access Management (IAM) architectures across enterprise, cloud, and hybrid environments. You will combine IAM security principles such as Zero Trust, RBAC/ABAC, PAM, and IGA with AI-assisted tools to automate and improve IAM activities like access/risk analysis, access reviews, entitlement analysis, provisioning optimization, and compliance reporting/evidence collection.

Responsibilities

• Design security architectures and controls for IAM systems across enterprise, cloud, and hybrid environments

• Gather business, technical, and compliance requirements for IAM implementations, migrations, and security improvements

• Define and improve IAM capabilities (identity lifecycle management, provisioning/deprovisioning, SSO, federation, MFA, PAM, and access governance)

• Model authentication, authorization, and access control using RBAC/ABAC, least privilege, and Zero Trust

• Perform IAM security architecture reviews and risk assessments

• Develop IAM reference architectures, security standards, access control policies, and identity governance guidelines

• Evaluate IAM technologies (IdPs, IGA, PAM, federation, and cloud-native identity services)

• Design and support IAM integrations with cloud platforms, SaaS apps, enterprise systems, directories, and APIs

• Collaborate with cloud, infrastructure, development, security operations, compliance, and enterprise architecture teams

• Support IAM automation using PowerShell, Python, REST APIs, SCIM, Terraform, or similar technologies

• Use AI-assisted workflows for access/risk analysis, access reviews, role/access policy analysis, provisioning optimization, compliance reporting, and repetitive task automation

• Ensure safe AI automation with validation, data protection, auditability, and human oversight

• Communicate IAM security risks, architectural decisions, and remediation plans to stakeholders
