[Hiring] Senior Engineer, Identity & Access Management @Evolent

Role Description

This role designs, implements and continuously improves identity and access management (IAM) capabilities across Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory and adjacent platforms, with particular focus on role-based access control (RBAC), conditional access, privileged access and identity governance. The engineer builds automation and agentic AI solutions—such as access-review and role-mining agents—to reduce manual administrative overhead and strengthen the organization’s zero-trust security posture. The engineer collaborates with security, compliance and platform teams to ensure identity controls align with company policy and applicable regulations.

Essential Functions

• Design, implement and operate IAM capabilities including RBAC, conditional access, privileged identity management (PIM), and entitlement management.
• Write and maintain scripts and integrations (PowerShell, Python, Microsoft Graph API, or similar) for identity provisioning, access reviews, certification workflows and reporting.
• Design, build and deploy agentic AI solutions (e.g., a role-mining agent) that analyze access patterns, recommend least privilege role assignments and automate periodic access certification.
• Integrate IAM systems with adjacent technologies (endpoint management, security operations, ITSM, directory services) to support end-to-end identity lifecycle management.
• Monitor and report on identity-related security anomalies and support incident response and remediation for identity-based threats.
• Support audit readiness by producing and maintaining documentation of IAM design, controls, and automation.
• Create, publish and communicate knowledgebase articles and standard operating procedures for IAM processes.
• Act as a mentor to junior engineers and operations teams on IAM for best practices, secure coding and responsible use of AI-driven automation.

Qualifications

• 7+ years managing or supporting identity and access management, identity governance, or related security platforms.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), RBAC design, conditional access and privileged identity management (PIM).
• Demonstrated coding/scripting ability (PowerShell, Python, Microsoft Graph API, or similar) with a track record of building identity automation, integrations and reporting tools.
• Hands-on experience designing or deploying agentic AI or automation solutions for identity/access use cases (e.g., role mining, access certification, anomaly detection).
• Experience with identity protocols and standards (SAML, OAuth/OIDC, SCIM) and identity governance/compliance frameworks.
• Working knowledge of Generative AI and agentic AI concepts (LLM integration, tool/function calling, retrieval-augmented generation) as applied to identity and security operations.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building or contributing to an internal AI agent/Center of Excellence pod, including agent design and application lifecycle management (ALM) practices.
• Experience with Microsoft Copilot Studio or similar low-code AI agent platforms.
• Passion for zero-trust security with an awareness of the latest identity and AI trends.

Preferred Education

• Bachelor’s degree in IT, Computer Science, or related field.

• Microsoft Certified: Identity and Access Administrator Associate (SC-300).
• Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Engineer Associate (AI-102) or Copilot Studio/agentic AI certification.
