Job DescriptionManager, IAM Engineering
Miami-Fort Lauderdale Area | South Florida
Contract-to-Direct | Confidential Search
U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder only | No sponsorship
If you came up building workforce identity systems and are now the person other IAM engineers turn to when provisioning, lifecycle, federation, or integrations get difficult, this may be worth a conversation.
Identify Security is supporting a confidential client expanding its IAM engineering organization in South Florida.
They need a true player-coach -- someone who has personally built complex identity solutions and can now lead engineers without leaving the engineering behind.
This is not a governance-only, certification, or vendor-management role.
What Matters Most
You should have real experience across several of these areas:
Joiner / mover / leaver lifecycle
HR-driven provisioning and deprovisioning
Identity correlation and authoritative sources
Active Directory / Entra ID
Application onboarding
REST / SCIM / APIs / connectors
Federation, SAML, OAuth, OIDC
Role and entitlement management
ServiceNow workflows
Provisioning failures and reconciliation
Automation / scripting
PAM / privileged access
You do not need every product in the client’s stack.
Specific platforms can be learned.
Identity engineering judgment needs to already be there.
The Kind of Problems You Have Solved
A new hire does not receive downstream access
A mover event creates the wrong permissions
A termination fails to remove access
HR data does not correlate correctly
A native connector cannot meet the requirement
An integration works in test but fails in production
We want to understand what you personally designed, fixed, challenged, or implemented.
Leadership
You may already be an IAM Manager.
Or you may be a:
Lead IAM Engineer
Principal IAM Engineer
IAM / Identity Architect
Identity Platform Lead
Technical Lead who has been mentoring engineers, reviewing designs, setting direction, and is ready for formal people leadership.
You should be comfortable:
developing engineers
reviewing technical designs
challenging weak architecture
helping solve difficult IAM problems
building repeatable engineering patterns
reducing vendor dependency
communicating clearly with technical and business leaders
Environment
Experience with technologies such as Entra ID, Active Directory, Ping / ForgeRock, ServiceNow, SailPoint, Saviynt, Okta, OIM, MIM, IdentityMinder, NetIQ, or IBM Identity Manager is relevant.
Exact product match is less important than strong workforce IAM engineering fundamentals.
