Role Overview
The IAM Architect will lead the design and implementation of robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions for Kyndryl at the Juno Beach location. This role is critical in ensuring that the organization’s digital identities are managed securely and efficiently across a complex hybrid cloud environment. As a senior technical leader, you will be responsible for the end-to-end architecture of identity lifecycles, including provisioning, authentication, and authorization frameworks. You will work closely with security stakeholders to define the future state of identity governance and ensure that all systems adhere to the principle of least privilege.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain the strategic roadmap for IAM services, aligning with global security standards and business objectives.
- Design scalable architectures for Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and Privileged Access Management (PAM).
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate IAM solutions with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP) and on-premises legacy systems.
- Lead the technical evaluation of new IAM technologies and vendors to ensure the stack remains modern and resilient.
- Define and enforce policies for Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC).
- Oversee the automation of identity workflows to reduce manual intervention and improve operational efficiency.
- Conduct architectural reviews and provide guidance to engineering teams during the development of new applications.
- Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, and SOX through rigorous access governance.
Technical Requirements
- Extensive experience with enterprise IAM platforms such as SailPoint, Okta, Ping Identity, or ForgeRock.
- Deep understanding of identity protocols including SAML, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), and SCIM.
- Proficiency in directory services like Active Directory (AD), Azure AD (Entra ID), and LDAP.
- Experience with API security and microservices architecture.
- Strong knowledge of cybersecurity frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001) and Zero Trust principles.
Strategic Vision and Leadership
In this role, you are not just a technical expert but a strategic advisor. You will be expected to anticipate future security threats and design identity systems that are resilient against credential-based attacks. This includes implementing advanced behavioral analytics and risk-based authentication models. You will also mentor junior engineers and architects, fostering a culture of security-first development across the IT organization. Your ability to translate complex technical requirements into business-aligned security outcomes will be paramount to your success.
Operational Excellence
Beyond design, you will ensure that the IAM infrastructure is highly available and performant. This involves setting up monitoring and alerting for identity services, managing incident response for access-related issues, and conducting regular audits of user entitlements. You will work with the business units to streamline the onboarding and offboarding processes, ensuring that access is granted and revoked in a timely and secure manner.
