You will support the day-to-day operations of our enterprise IAM program while also contributing to scripting, bug fixes, and backend coding. This is intentionally a 50/50 role: half focused on operational process and execution, and half focused on technical delivery.

• Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform or similar)
• Familiarity with compliance/audit-driven environments (SOC 2, SOX, ISO, PCI)
