IAM Engineer - AI Security

Overview

IAM Engineer focused on AI security, designing and implementing identity and access governance that enables safe adoption of AI agents and related non-human identities.

What you'll do

• Design, implement, and maintain IAM solutions securing AI usage across the organization.
• Support discovery, inventory, and governance of non-human identities and machine access, including shadow AI identification.
• Partner to implement AI-aware access controls (runtime authorization, contextual boundaries, DLP) for AI-driven workflows.
• Implement intent-aware authorization capabilities that assess AI behavior before granting backend access.
• Transition from static credentials to credential-less authentication models for AI and machine workloads.
• Implement and maintain security controls over MCP and similar model-connectivity integrations with safe/fail-closed behavior.
• Assist IAM operations with access triage, entitlement anomaly detection, and audit evidence collection.

What you'll need

• Minimum 5 years of hands-on IAM experience, including experience with an IGA platform (e.g., Saviynt, SailPoint IdentityNow/IdentityIQ, Oracle Identity Manager, or similar).
• Working knowledge of AI agent and non-human identity governance concepts (e.g., discovery, credential lifecycle, runtime authorization, intent/behavior validation).
• Familiarity with modern authentication protocols and credential-less architectures (e.g., federated identity, short-lived/ephemeral tokens, workload identity models).
• Exposure to Model Context Protocol (MCP) or similar machine/model connectivity standards.
• Hands-on experience with connected/disconnected application onboarding (request forms, dynamic attributes, mapping, data types).
• Hands-on experience with REST & SOAP connectors (JSON building, mapping, reconciliation, provisioning use cases).
• General understanding of SSO, MFA, and PAM & cloud technologies/tools.

Nice to have

• Prior AI/ML engineering exposure (e.g., Python, LLM or agent frameworks) and experience in coding/development is preferred.
