As an IAM Engineer, you will play a critical role in securing our systems and data. You will have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge IAM technologies, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and influence the development of our IAM strategy. Your work will directly impact the security and efficiency of our operations.

You will be responsible for ensuring that our AI Infrastructure and Data Infrastructure are securely accessible and perfectly synced with our business logic, primarily focusing on the Revenue automation pipeline.

Our team is responsible for overseeing all aspects of automation & security at Komodo Health. We implement and maintain security solutions to protect our systems and data, manage identity and access controls, and handle incident response. We also conduct security assessments, monitor for potential threats, and collaborate with other teams to ensure compliance with security policies and regulations.

• Custom Tooling: Develop custom scripts (Python, Perl, Ruby, etc.)  and API integrations to bridge gaps where out-of-the-box connectors are unavailable.
• Data & AI Infrastructure Support: Secure the "Data Perimeter." Ensure that data scientists and AI models have the correct, least-privileged access to our Data Infrastructure (Data Lakes/Warehouses). Manage the identity lifecycle for AI Agents and Service Accounts, ensuring that automated "non-human" workers are governed with the same rigor as employees.
• Business Process Optimization: Collaborate with HR, Finance, Sales Ops and other teams to identify bottlenecks in the lead-to-revenue lifecycle and solve them through identity-driven automation.

You will accomplish these outcomes through the following responsibilities…

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams.
• Improve provisioning/deprovisioning processes.
• Integrate and manage IdPs within the IAM system.
• Handle and streamline access requests.
• Develop and implement IAM policies and procedures.
• Respond to ad-hoc requests.

• Automation Mindset: Leveraging technology with a proven ability to build event-driven flows, use custom API connectors, and handle error logic.
• APIs: Comfortable working with RESTful APIs, JSON, and Webhooks.
• Infrastructure as Code: Experience using Terraform or Github to manage identity providers.
• Security Mindset: Understanding of Zero Trust architecture and Privileged Access Management (PAM) tools like CyberArk, BeyondTrust, etc.
• 5–8+ years of experience in Identity and Access Management, including significant hands-on expertise with Okta (including OIE & OIG).
• Strong understanding of identity lifecycle management, directory services, SSO, MFA, SCIM provisioning, and federation (SAML, OIDC, OAuth).
• Proven experience partnering with HR, Finance, Compliance, and other cross-functional teams to design and implement IAM & Enterprise solutions.
• Demonstrated ability to streamline and automate processes using automation.
• Experience with auditing, governance, and access certification processes
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder management skills

Additional skills and experience we’d prioritize (nice to have)…

• Experience with Workato or similar Integration Orchestrator tools such as Zapier, Snaplogic or Merge.
• Experience with Okta Workflows.
• Certifications: Workato or Okta Certified Professional/Administrator/Consultant.
