Overview
Applied IAM is looking for a Senior SailPoint Engineer to help lead delivery of identity governance programs for clients—designing access models, implementing provisioning and certifications, and integrating SailPoint with the systems that drive the business. You'll take ownership of technical decisions, build reliable integrations, and help teams operationalize IGA at scale in cloud and hybrid environments.
Core Responsibilities
- Lead design and implementation of SailPoint-based IGA solutions (IdentityNow / Identity Security Cloud and/or IdentityIQ depending on client environment)
- Build and support integrations and connectors (REST/Web Services, SCIM where applicable, and data sources such as JDBC/SQL)
- Develop and refine governance processes: joiner/mover/leaver, access requests, approvals, certifications, and exception handling
- Implement access models (roles, entitlements, policies) that are auditable, maintainable, and aligned to least privilege
- Configure and optimize workflows, rules/transforms, and provisioning logic; automate repeatable operational tasks
- Troubleshoot complex provisioning, aggregation, and governance issues; perform root-cause analysis and performance tuning
- Partner with client stakeholders (security, IAM, app owners) to translate requirements into a delivery plan and executable backlog
- Create clear implementation documentation, runbooks, and knowledge transfer artifacts for operations teams
- Coach and review work from junior engineers to improve consistency, quality, and delivery velocity
Minimum Qualifications
- 5+ years of hands-on experience delivering SailPoint solutions (implementation, enhancement, and support)
- Strong IGA fundamentals: provisioning lifecycle, role/entitlement modeling, access certifications, and auditability
- Experience building integrations using APIs/web services and working with data sources (SQL/JDBC) to model identities and access
- Ability to develop and troubleshoot custom logic (e.g., Java/BeanShell, Velocity, PowerShell, or comparable scripting depending on platform)
- Working knowledge of identity standards and concepts (SSO, MFA, OAuth/OIDC, SAML) and how they intersect with governance
- Comfort collaborating in a client-facing environment: requirements discovery, technical writing, and clear communication
- Strong problem-solving skills, ownership mindset, and attention to detail
Preferred Qualifications
- SailPoint certification(s) (e.g., IdentityNow/ISC) or demonstrable equivalent expertise
- Experience delivering in consulting or managed-services models (multiple clients, multiple environments)
- Hands-on experience with cloud identity ecosystems (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID) and governance integrations
- Experience with CI/CD or infrastructure-as-code approaches applied to IAM/IGA delivery
- Cloud platform familiarity (AWS/Azure/GCP) and common enterprise patterns (HR sources, directories, ticketing)
- Experience working in regulated environments and mapping IGA controls to frameworks (SOX, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR)
What You’ll Get
- High-impact client work centered on identity governance and access controls
- Autonomy and ownership—senior engineers drive technical direction and delivery quality
- Remote/hybrid flexibility depending on client needs and project phase
- Professional growth through certifications, training, and exposure to modern IAM/IGA ecosystems
- A collaborative team that values clean implementations, documentation, and continuous improvement
- Competitive compensation aligned to the role and location
