Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a Sr IAM Engineer for a leading gaming and technology client. This individual will join a highly technical Identity & Access Management team responsible for supporting a large-scale enterprise identity ecosystem. The role will initially focus on operational IAM support, troubleshooting complex identity challenges, and learning the existing environment, while gradually transitioning into a balanced engineering and operations position.

The ideal candidate is an engineer first, with hands-on experience across identity platforms such as Okta and SailPoint, and the ability to automate processes through scripting and code. This person will work on identity integrations, governance initiatives, automation projects, and configuration-as-code efforts while helping modernize IAM practices. Candidates who have leveraged AI tools to improve engineering workflows and who are interested in emerging non-human identity initiatives will be especially attractive. This is an excellent opportunity for a self-driven IAM professional looking to make meaningful contributions within an innovative and highly collaborative engineering organization.

Day to day:
- Manage escalated IAM support requests and access-related issues
- Troubleshoot Okta and SailPoint platform issues
- Support access reviews, governance processes, and identity lifecycle management
- Learn and operate within a complex enterprise IAM ecosystem
- Build and maintain Okta integrations utilizing SAML, OIDC, and SCIM
- Configure and support SailPoint Identity Security Cloud (IdentityNow)
- Assist with identity governance, role design, and access modeling initiatives
- Contribute to IAM automation projects and configuration-as-code pipelines
- Participate in code reviews and engineering best practices
- Create and maintain technical documentation, runbooks, and operational processes

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
