Senior Sailpoint Developer
altenDurham (NC)
About the role
Full-time contract engagement, roughly 80% hands-on SailPoint IIQ development and 20% functional/business analysis. This is a senior, hands-on technical position — not a Business Analyst role. The consultant will develop, troubleshoot, and take technical ownership within SailPoint IdentityIQ, working alongside a distributed, international delivery team. Required
Experience:
Must-Have 7+ years of hands-on SailPoint IdentityIQ (IIQ) development: workflows, rules, forms, custom connectors, and APIs. Personal, end-to-end ownership of at least one major SailPoint upgrade or platform migration — including impact assessment, testing, cutover, and rollback planning. Having "participated in" an upgrade is not the same as having led one. Demonstrated technical leadership: has mentored developers, set technical standards, or driven a workstream. Profiles that read as primarily functional / requirements-gathering, without strong hands-on development depth, have not been a fit for this specific role. Strong IAM security fundamentals: Active Directory and Azure/Entra ID integration, identity lifecycle management (joiner-mover-leaver), access governance, segregation of duties, and access certification / review processes. Experience supporting ongoing release cycles — quarterly or major releases, integration troubleshooting, production support. Able to work autonomously while actively guiding a distributed / international delivery team, not just coexisting with one. Strong spoken and written English. Willing and able to travel to France periodically if project needs require it. Eligible to work in the US without sponsorship; US citizens and Green Card holders preferred. Strongly Preferred — Differentiators A SailPoint certification (IdentityIQ or Identity Security Cloud). Hands-on exposure to SailPoint Identity Security Cloud (ISC) / Identity Now, or direct experience migrating from IIQ to a cloud-based identity governance platform. Integration experience with a privileged access management platform (e.g., CyberArk). Healthcare, life sciences, or other GxP / regulated-industry experience. A track record that the candidate can describe in specific, quantifiable terms — not a generic list of tools and technologies.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
