CIAM Engineer
About the assignment
A leading organisation in the tech/financial sector is building out its Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) capability. You'll engineer solutions that balance security with frictionless user experience across web, mobile, and API channels.
You own the full lifecycle: design authentication flows, implement SSO/MFA, manage user provisioning, and monitor access patterns. You'll collaborate with product and security teams to embed identity best practices into the development pipeline.
Your work directly impacts customer trust and reduces breach surface area.
Your responsibilities
- Design and implement CIAM architectures using SailPoint, Okta, or Entra ID
- Configure authentication flows: SAML, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, MFA protocols
- Manage user lifecycle automation: provisioning, deprovisioning, entitlement reviews
- Integrate CIAM with APIs, microservices, and legacy applications
- Monitor and audit identity logs using SIEM tools; detect anomalies
- Document security policies aligned with OWASP standards and NIST guidelines
- Troubleshoot access issues and support security incident response
- Collaborate with infrastructure and development teams on identity roadmap
