The Specialist will work independently to gather requirements, propose solutions, and implement secure, reliable automation that improves account provisioning, reduces manual workload, and enhances the stability of infrastructure services.

  • Configure and support federated identity services and protocols (SSO, SAML, SCIM) for cloud and on-premises applications.
  • Collaborate with HR, the DSI team, and consortium partners to design, test, and deploy IAM changes.
  • Follow security best practices, including least privilege, secure credential handling, and change control for IAM workflows.

Automation & Integration Development

  • Write production-grade scripts (PowerShell, Python, or similar) with robust error handling, logging, and monitoring.
  • Use version control and maintain thorough documentation for all code and workflows.
  • Build proactive health checks for IAM integrations and alerts for failures or anomalies.
  • Identify opportunities to automate manual operational tasks across infrastructure.
  • Infrastructure & Security Support (Training Provided)

  • Design, develop, and maintain Microsoft Logic Apps, Power Apps, and Power Automate flows to automate line-of-business processes.
  • Administer Azure AD / Entra ID and related cloud identity services.
  • Administer Azure resources as assigned.
  • Provide Tier 2 support for IAM, security, and infrastructure issues as assigned.
  • Contribute to security monitoring, compliance tasks, and tool deployments.
  • Participate in operational readiness reviews and assist in incident response when required.
  • Documentation & Reporting

  • Document IAM workflows, automation logic, and infrastructure configurations.
  • Maintain runbooks for troubleshooting and disaster recovery.
  • Track automation and infrastructure projects, providing regular updates to IT leadership.

  • Experience with REST APIs, including authentication, token management, and error handling.
  • Familiarity with IAM concepts, lifecycle provisioning workflows, and directory services.
  • Understanding of Active Directory and Azure AD / Entra ID administration.
  • Ability to clearly document processes, write technical instructions for both technical and non-technical audiences, and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail.
  • Ability to work independently on long-term projects while managing operational responsibilities.
  • Must have access to reliable and secure computer and internet connection. Must maintain password protection for work files and records and ensure that no one else has access to password and login credentials at remote work site.
