Desirable Skills / experience * Experience with IGA/ITSM platforms (e.g., SailPoint, Saviynt, ServiceNow) and directory services. * Familiarity with data governance/lineage and MLOps/ModelOps monitoring. * Experience designing exception workflows and control automation for access management. ## Description We are actively seeking an IDAM Onboarding Engineer to lead the design and delivery of AI-enabled Identity & Access Management (IDAM) onboarding capabilities that improve joiner/mover/leaver outcomes-faster provisioning, fewer errors, stronger least-privilege controls, and audit-ready evidence. You'll bridge IAM operations, cyber security, data/AI teams, and risk/control stakeholders to take solutions from concept to production and scale., Product & delivery leadership: * Own, the roadmap for AI-enabled onboarding (intake * recommendation * approvals * provisioning * audit evidence). * Translate onboarding pain points into prioritised use cases, user stories, and measurable outcomes. * Run delivery cadence across IAM ops, engineering, and data science teams; manage RAID and dependencies. Deliver AI-enabled onboarding capabilities: * Access/role recommendations based on joiner attributes and peer patterns (least privilege by default). * Intelligent request intake (free text to structured entitlements) with missing-info prompts. * Automated SoD/policy pre-checks and exception workflows. * Approval routing optimisation and onboarding "copilot" for service desk/IAM ops. * Define confidence thresholds and human-in-the-loop decision points. Data, integration & operating model * Coordinate data sourcing and quality across HR feeds, IAM catalogue, historical requests, org hierarchy, and ticketing/workflow tools. * Partner with engineering to integrate into IAM workflows (e.g., ServiceNow/IGA tooling), ensuring secure APIs, logging, and resiliency. * Define BAU support model, runbooks, and training for IAM ops and approvers. Risk, controls & Responsible AI * Ensure alignment with privacy, information security, and model risk management expectations. * Drive auditability: decision rationale, approvals, model outputs, and change history. * Implement guardrails for GenAI where used (data leakage prevention, prompt controls, content filtering, monitoring). * Define monitoring for model performance and control effectiveness (drift, override rates, exception volumes). Value realisation: * Define and track KPIs: onboarding cycle time, rework rate, access errors, SoD conflicts prevented, approver turnaround time. * Drive adoption through stakeholder engagement, communications, and continuous improvement. ## Related Videos - [Technical Documentation - How Can I Write Them Better and Why Should I Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/681-technical-documentation-how-can-i-write-them-better-and-why-should-i-care) - [How to govern Vibe Coding for the Enterprise](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100290-how-to-govern-vibe-coding-for-the-enterprise) - [Checkmate: 5 Real Incidents That Can End a Software Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100126-checkmate-5-real-incidents-that-can-end-a-software-company) - [Bridging AI and Nomad: a Go-based MCP Server for Cluster Control](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2063-bridging-ai-and-nomad-a-go-based-mcp-server-for-cluster-control) - [AI for Enterprise Developers - Dr. Damir Dobric](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1831-ai-for-enterprise-developers-dr-damir-dobric) - [3 Key Steps for Optimizing DevOps Workflows](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/962-3-key-steps-for-optimizing-devops-workflows) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 191: Malware interviews, EU ❤️ Open Source and Skilled Agents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/645-dev-digest-191-malware-interviews-eu-open-source-and-skilled-agents) - [Dev Digest 196: AI Killed DevOps, LLM Political Bias & AI Security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/659-dev-digest-196-ai-killed-devops-llm-political-bias-ai-security) - [Events like RSAC Get You CISOs.
