 * Ingest, transform and reconcile identity, application, entitlement and ownership data required for review campaigns.
 * Develop secure CI/CD pipelines, source-control practices, automated testing and deployment controls for IAM scripts and configuration.
 * Monitor scheduled processes, troubleshoot failures and implement resilient logging, alerting, retry and recovery patterns.
 * Apply least-privilege, secrets-management and privileged-access controls to engineering and operational solutions.
 * Partner with governance analysts to turn process, policy and audit requirements into maintainable technical designs.
 * Create technical documentation, runbooks and handover materials, and contribute to service reporting and continuous improvement.
