IAM/Security Engineer

As a Security Engineer for Identity and Access Management (IAM), your mission is to ensure that GFiber's systems, data, and services are secured through a robust, modern identity framework. You will achieve this by leading the design, implementation, and governance of our IAM solutions, ensuring secure, least-privilege access for all employees, contractors, and services from the ground up.
In this role, you will be a pivotal member of the Cybersecurity team, directly shaping GFiber's identity security posture. You will focus on building and scaling our IAM program, leveraging automation, and providing expert guidance to internal teams. You'll collaborate closely with Infrastructure, Engineering, IT, and other Cybersecurity functions to ensure a holistic approach to identity and access.
In this role, you'll:
• Lead and drive the design, implementation, and lifecycle management of core IAM solutions (e.g., SSO, MFA, PAM, IGA).
• Develop, implement, and maintain IAM policies, standards, and controls to ensure security and support compliance objectives (e.g., SOX, CPNI).
• Own, administer, and enhance key IAM platforms, with a strong focus on Okta (including Universal Directory, Workflows, and API Access Management).
• Conduct periodic access reviews, risk assessments, and attestation campaigns for critical systems and applications.
• Provide subject matter expertise and guidance to internal teams on IAM best practices, authentication (SAML, OIDC, OAuth), and authorization.
• Collaborate with security and IT teams to respond to identity-related security incidents and inquiries.
• Automate IAM processes (e.g., joiner, mover, leaver) using scripting, workflows, and integrations.
• Stay up-to-date on emerging IAM threats, technologies, and trends.
