Also owns the identity of the delivery chain itself - the service accounts, workload identities, secrets and certificates that identity platforms run on and that auditors ask about first., * Own environment strategy across the portfolio: development, test, UAT and production estates for IGA platforms, including refresh cadence, data masking and anonymization of production identity data in lower environments. * Build and govern CI/CD for identity artifacts - configuration-as-code promotion, object versioning and packaging for SailPoint, Saviynt, and Okta, automated deployment, drift detection and rollback. * Own infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible) for identity platform infrastructure and containerized deployment on Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE). * Own secrets and non-human identity management across the practice: vaulting, workload identity federation, service-account and API-key lifecycle, and certificate and PKI lifecycle for connector and federation endpoints. * Design and validate platform reliability for identity workloads: HA and DR architecture, RPO/RTO validation, and capacity and performance tuning for aggregation cycles, certification campaigns and peak provisioning load. * Secure the delivery chain: SAST/DAST and dependency scanning in the pipeline, SBOM generation, artifact signing, and least-privilege pipeline and repository access. * Stand up observability for identity platforms - provisioning failure rates, aggregation SLA, connector health, task and workflow queue depth - and route identity audit logs into the client SIEM. * Lead the DevOps and platform engineering team across US and Pune; set engineering standards, chair change advisory for platform changes, and own audit evidence for client and internal audit. * Partner with the Principal Engineering Manager on architecture decisions with platform impact, and support presales for hosting, managed-service and platform-modernization scope. * Own platform upgrade and patch strategy across client estates, including vendor release tracking, regression risk assessment and coordinated upgrade windows. ## Related Videos - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Enabling automated 1-click customer deployments with built-in quality and security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/83-enabling-automated-1-click-customer-deployments-with-built-in-quality-and-security) - [#90DaysOfDevOps - The DevOps Learning Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/548-90daysofdevops-the-devops-learning-journey) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [Bringing AI Model Testing and Prompt Management to Your Codebase with GitHub Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1536-bringing-ai-model-testing-and-prompt-management-to-your-codebase-with-github-models) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Events like RSAC Get You CISOs.
