## Description

Peraton is seeking a highly experienced Okta IAM/Identity Integration Engineer to support the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) AMASS program. AMASS provides secure, scalable identity and access management services across the Department of Defense, enabling authentication, authorization, and digital identity interoperability for highvisibility DoD systems.

This position is 100% remote.

In this role, you will design, integrate, and sustain identity services using the Okta Identity Engine (OIE), implement secure authentication flows using the Okta Embedded SDK, and ensure compliance with DoD cybersecurity policies, including RMF, STIG, and NIST guidelines. This position requires extensive handson experience with modern identity protocols, mobile authentication, and enterprise IAM/ICAM solutions within Federal environments.

Responsibilities
Configure, administer, and optimize Okta Identity Engine (OIE) to support DoD enterprise identity workflows.

 * Implement and support the Okta Embedded SDK to deliver secure and standardized authentication for partner applications.
 * Develop and enhance mobile identity integrations for native iOS and Android platforms supporting DoD mission applications.
 * Implement modern identity standards including OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), and PKCE.
 * Configure phishingresistant authentication methods, including FIDO2/WebAuthn, in alignment with DoD Zero Trust objectives.
 * Design and maintain adaptive and risk-based authentication policies.
 * Integrate identity federation services (OIDC, SAML 2.0) including external Identity Provider (IdP) connections.
 * Manage authentication token lifecycles (JWT, ID, Access, Refresh tokens) across DoD application ecosystems.
 * Implement secure API authentication using OAuth scopes, claims, and structured authorization patterns.
 * Build identity automation using Okta Workflows and nocode/lowcode orchestration tooling.
 * Integrate Okta with DoD authoritative data sources and enterprise-level IAM services.
 * Support identity lifecycle processes, including provisioning, deprovisioning, profile management, and attribute governance.
 * Troubleshoot complex identity, federation, and mobile SDK integration issues across multiproduct DoD environments.
 * Utilize REST APIs, Postman, and related tooling for API development, testing, and validation.
 * Work with DevSecOps teams to integrate IAM capabilities into CI/CD pipelines supporting DoD modernization.
 * Ensure identity implementations comply with DoD RMF, DISA STIGs, NIST SP 80063, and other Federal cybersecurity mandates.
