Identity & Access Management
Engineers in this role architect and operate identity systems that secure access across distributed AI infrastructure, multi-tenant platforms, and cloud environments serving thousands of users and services. They combine hands-on engineering—writing infrastructure-as-code, building authentication flows, automating provisioning workflows—with strategic design, setting long-term direction for how identity evolves alongside rapidly scaling AI platforms. Unlike general security roles, they specialize deeply in identity primitives like SSO, RBAC, service account management, and agentic AI workload access, often working across multiple cloud providers and compliance frameworks like FedRAMP. These engineers typically sit within dedicated security or trust teams, partnering closely with platform, infrastructure, and compliance functions to embed identity into every layer of the stack.
