The AmSC platform enables DOE scientists to create, access, and integrate world-class AI-ready datasets, run scalable model training on leadership-class systems, perform distributed simulations, control instruments, and move data efficiently across sites. The project is a multi-Lab and Public-Private Partnership endeavor, working in tandem with the Models Consortium (ModCon) who will deploy transformative AI models and services to the platform. Key DOE capabilities, such as the Frontier (ORNL), Aurora (ANL), Perlmutter (NERSC, at LBL), Energy Services Network (ESnet, at LBL), and the High Performance Data Facility (HPDF, at JLab) will be directly integrated, allowing multi-site workflows. The Team: As an Identity and Access Management Engineer you will work within the L2 Infrastructure Services group of AmSC to support identity management solution architecture, deployment and administration on our multi-cloud central hub infrastructure. The AmSC identity infrastructure supports teams from many different DOE labs and locations deploying a variety of AI and HPC services both on-prem and in cloud environments. Your primary responsibilities will be to design and build an Identity Management platform and federation hub that promote collaboration within the AmSC, enabling researches to seamlessly leverage AmSC infrastructure and services for their projects. You will be one of the first full-time AmSC staff members, and this presents a unique opportunity to build something new and exciting., * Lead the architecture, development and implementation of an Identity and Access Management platform using the Ping suite of products * Contribute to workflow design, API development, and collaborate with application developers and owners to establish robust integrations * Plan, execute and document application onboarding of a diverse and growing application set * Collaborate with IAM personnel from other organizations to design, build and administer a federation hub, allowing users to access resources at any participating facility * Build out and enable ABAC, RBAC, least privilege access and other common IAM standards * Deploy, configure and support identity and access management services such as single sign on (SSO), OAuth, MFA, zero trust, etc…. * Lead incident response, providing advanced troubleshooting and building out of monitoring and alerting systems * Define and implement define KPIs, processes and drive continuous improvement. * Participate in on-call rotation providing 24-hour, 7-day support and off-hours maintenance windows. * Coordinate with vendors to resolve hardware and software problems. * Deliver AmSC's mission by aligning behaviors, priorities, and interactions with our core values of Impact, Integrity, Teamwork, Safety, and Service.
