IAM Architect

The Hybrid BA/QA Analyst will play a pivotal role in transitioning legacy applications and services to a new authentication method. This position is designed for a self starter who thrives in environments with evolving requirements, incomplete documentation, and cross team dependencies. The analyst will independently uncover gaps, drive clarity, and ensure authentication workflows are fully understood, documented, and validated through rigorous testing. This role suits someone who naturally takes ownership, anticipates issues before they surface, and pushes the project forward without waiting for direction. Key Responsibilities Business Analysis

• Proactively elicit requirements from stakeholders and identify missing or ambiguous details.
• Translate legacy identity behaviors into clear, actionable requirements for the new authentication method.
• Create and maintain detailed artifacts: process flows, data mappings, acceptance criteria, and transition plans.
• Drive alignment with engineering and security teams by initiating discussions, clarifying assumptions, and resolving open questions.

Quality Assurance

• Develop comprehensive test plans without waiting for fully defined requirements; fill gaps through analysis and stakeholder engagement.
• Execute manual and automated tests for login, MFA, token handling, session management, and error states.
• Validate API authentication behavior, including token issuance, expiration, refresh, and claims.
• Log defects with clear reproduction steps and independently follow up to ensure resolution.
• Lead UAT cycles by coordinating test activities, preparing test scripts, and guiding business testers.

Cross Functional Collaboration

• Act as the proactive liaison between product owners, developers, security architects, and operations teams.
• Surface risks early, propose mitigation strategies, and communicate impacts clearly.
• Initiate and lead discussions to resolve blockers rather than waiting for direction.
• Support cutover planning, smoke testing, and post deployment validation with minimal oversight.
