Senior IGA Engineer

Role Overview We are seeking an IGA Engineer to design, build, operate, and sustain the enterprise Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) platform that serves as the control plane for how identity and access are governed across the organization. This role is responsible for developing and enhancing IGA capabilities—connectors, workflows, roles, and integrations—while keeping the platform healthy, reliable, and audit-ready, and executing the SOX ITGC controls that make it a trusted, compliant system of record for access. This is a hands-on engineering role spanning both build and run: configuring and developing new capabilities, integrating target systems, and enhancing governance workflows on one side, and sustaining platform health, change management, vendor-coordinated migrations, incident resolution, and control execution on the other. The engineer turns requirements into working configuration and code, keeps the platform available, and ensures every SOX-relevant activity is performed on schedule with complete, clean evidence. The ideal candidate brings solid hands-on experience with an enterprise IGA platform (SailPoint, Saviynt, or equivalent) combined with strong ITGC/SOX discipline and an operations-and-audit mindset. The IGA platform is a business-critical, SOX-scoped security capability. Operational lapses translate directly into two kinds of failure: disruptions that block provisioning, deprovisioning, and access reviews, and control failures that produce audit findings and compliance exposure. This position is critical to ensuring the platform is stable, well-instrumented, and rarely surprises the business. Key Responsibilities IGA Development & Engineering Design, develop, and enhance IGA capabilities—connectors, integrations, joiner/mover/leaver (JML) and access-request workflows, roles, entitlements, certifications, and SoD rules—to meet evolving governance and business requirements. Build and maintain integrations between the IGA platform and target systems (HR, directories, cloud, and enterprise/SaaS applications) via APIs and connectors. Translate governance and access-model requirements into working configuration and code, following engineering standards and design patterns. Test, document, and promote changes through the appropriate environments with quality and maintainability in mind. Platform Operations Operate, administer, and sustain the IGA platform so it runs reliably day to day, resolving sync, provisioning, and workflow failures as they arise. Execute platform upgrades, patches, and configuration changes through disciplined change control, with validated cutover and rollback plans. Maintain and enforce environment segregation between non-production and production. Observability, Monitoring & Reliability Configure and continuously tune monitoring, logging, alerting, and dashboards for the platform, its connectors, and its governance workflows. Establish leading-indicator alerting (connector health, provisioning failures, job/queue depth, workflow errors) so degradations are caught before they disrupt users. Ensure failures generate alerts and that recurring errors are escalated into incidents per defined procedures. Define and track availability and health metrics for the platform and its critical workflows. Incident & Problem Management Investigate and resolve incidents affecting the IGA platform and its governance workflows, restoring service and following the incident management process. Perform root-cause analysis on recurring platform issues and implement durable preventive fixes. Maintain runbooks and operational documentation to support consistent incident handling. Change & Release Management Execute changes through the standard change management process—documented change requests, testing, and appropriate business/IT approvals before production migration. Enforce segregation of duties between developers and operations on production migrations; ensure any developer activity in production
