Integrate IAM, PAM, and EIM tools with enterprise systems, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP), directories, and core business applications (e.g., Active Directory, EntraID, HR systems).
Develop custom connectors, workflows, and automated policies for onboarding/offboarding, access provisioning, certificates, keys, and secrets using scripting languages like PowerShell or Python and REST APIs.
Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues related to identities, systems, access accounts, authentication, authorisation, and permissions.

Deep knowledge of identity protocols (SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect, LDAP, Kerberos) and cloud integrations (AWS, GCP).
Solid understanding of Active Directory, EntraID, MFA, SSO, identity federation, and group policy management.
Experience with scripting and automation (PowerShell, Python, REST APIs) and an awareness of AI applications in IAM/EIM.
Relevant professional certifications (such as CISSP, CISM, CISA, or specific IAM credentials like CIAM) and a solid grasp of regulatory compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR).
Excellent problem-solving capabilities and the ability to communicate technical concepts to diverse stakeholders.
