[Hiring] Engineer I/II - Machine Identity Management & Enablement @Careers Mutual Of Omaha

Role Description

Identity is foundational to everything we do—and when vendor applications fall short, the impact can be immediate and far-reaching. The Machine Identity Management (MIM) & Enablement Team is looking for a motivated, detail-oriented professional to help own the health, security, and reliability of vendor-provided identity platforms that support critical business and security functions.

In this role, you’ll work at the intersection of identity, security, and vendor management, ensuring that authentication, authorization, and access controls function as designed—and are remediated quickly and thoughtfully when they don’t. You’ll partner closely with internal identity and security teams, collaborate with external vendors, and take ownership of issues from discovery through resolution. Additionally, you will work in a highly collaborative environment within Mutual’s evolving Information Security organization.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys solving complex problems, values operational excellence, and wants to make a measurable impact on enterprise security. If you’re passionate about identity technologies, comfortable holding vendors accountable, and motivated by building safer, more reliable systems, we’d love to have you on the team.

Qualifications

• Strong understanding of identity and access management concepts, including authentication, authorization, SSO, MFA, and identity federation.
• Hands-on experience supporting or integrating vendor-managed platforms in secure, regulated, or risk-sensitive environments.
• Proven ability to own issues end-to-end, from discovery and analysis through vendor remediation and validation.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, including interpreting logs, configurations, and vendor documentation to drive effective outcomes.
• Clear communicator with a proactive, continuous-improvement mindset—comfortable explaining technical risks, driving vendor accountability, and preventing repeat issues.
• Promote a culture of diversity and inclusion, value different ideas and opinions, and listen courageously, remaining curious in all that you do.
• Able to work remotely with access to a high-speed internet connection and located in the United States or Puerto Rico.

Requirements

• Own the operational health of vendor-provided identity applications, including monitoring, issue triage, remediation, ongoing maintenance, and participation in a shared on-call rotation (including after-hours support as needed).
• Manage the full lifecycle of digital certificates across enterprise environments, including issuance, renewal, revocation, and retirement using enterprise certificate management platforms.
• Partner with internal identity, security, and engineering teams to investigate incidents, identify root causes, and remediate identity-related issues across vendor platforms.
• Serve as a primary point of contact for vendors, driving accountability and timely resolution of defects, vulnerabilities, configuration gaps, and compliance risks.
• Proactively improve reliability, automation, security posture, and operational efficiency, while clearly communicating status, risks, and remediation plans to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Engineer I: $86,000 - $142,000, plus annual bonus opportunity
• Engineer II: $99,000 - $168,000, plus annual bonus opportunity
