Architect - IAM

We need a software architect with extensive experience designing and building highly resilient, self-healing services in either GoLang or Java that can process high low-latency transaction volumes at scale and reliably. Deep familiarity with near-real time replication of large volume data sets (100MB+) is a must. Similarly, deep familiarity with open cloud technology and best practices is a must, starting with AWS.

The role will design a modern extraordinary identity management platform that provides time bound, role-based least privilege access and lifecycle management for all production systems including 1P, Hyperforce (our open cloud infrastructure layer) and Acquisitions. The initial focus will be on the automation of all ILM (Identity Lifecycle Management) aspects, including common compliance operations, and on enabling self service onboarding for user, service and app identities. This role will participate and be a key contributor to the Hyperforce Architectural Council and will be responsible for long range vision and planning for the Hyperforce Identity Management space. Research and investment on AI based decision making and usage pattern detection is encouraged.

Responsibilities:

• Work closely with strategic collaborators such as Security, Legal, Global Regulatory Compliance, Infrastructure and external Partners and Vendors to distill solutions that address application feature gaps and enable compliance
• Deliver highly visible outcomes, while balancing time pressure and long term strategy
• Collaborate on and help drive critical security and compliance uplift projects through the establishment of standards, processes and frameworks that help maintain secure configurations
• Work collaboratively with fellow architects and engineering leads to create, evangelize and drive adoption of Long Range Plans inclusive of migration strategies
• Develop and promote a deep technical and business understanding of our mission
• Mentor team members to build core skills in architecture, standards development, and recommended practices

Required Skills:

• 7+ years experience leading architecture with a distinguished track record on technically demanding projects
• Track record in delivering highly available, scalable, resilient and self healing services running on open cloud platforms - AWS preferred
• Ability to code is a must (you will be tested) - Java or GoLang preferred
• Ability to document designs comprehensively and intelligibly
• Experience in communicating with users, other technical teams, and product management to understand requirements, describe software product features, and technical designs
• Experience with Kubernetes, Docker and Terraform
• Proficiency with automating tasks using scripting/coding/tooling
• Strong understanding of linux operating systems (RHEL9)
• Strong understanding of Identity and Access Management subsystems including SSO, LDAP, Kerberos
• Strong understanding of MFA and passwordless security standard methodologies
• Experience with continuous integration platforms such as Jenkins, Spinnaker, Gitlab CI etc.
• Experience with monitoring tools (ELK, grafana, AppDynamics etc.)
• Experience working in an agile environment

Desired Skills:

• Experience with AWS account and permission management best practices
• Experience supporting security and compliance uplift campaigns
