Summary

  • The IDMS Subject Matter Expert will provide senior technical expertise in enterprise identity, directory, authentication, authorization, federation, and access-management services supporting the Government Agency's modernization initiatives.

The SME will work across Government Agency enterprise architecture, cybersecurity, infrastructure, cloud, application, mobility, and project teams to ensure identity services are securely integrated into enterprise and field solutions.

  • Support Microsoft Entra ID integration, Conditional Access, MFA, RBAC, identity lifecycle management, device identity, risk-based access, compliance checks, automated remediation, and other Zero Trust controls associated with the Government Agency endpoint environment.
  • Design identity and access patterns supporting Government Agency applications operating on USPS Android devices, including secure transitions between USPS and Government Agency application contexts.
  • Support identity integration between Microsoft Intune / Entra ID, USPS UEM capabilities, Government Agency applications, APIs, enterprise directories, PKI, cloud environments, and security-monitoring platforms.
  • Design and troubleshoot federation using SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and related identity standards.
  • Support certificate-based authentication, PIV/CAC integration, application certificates, PKI, secrets, service identities, and non-human identities as required.
  • Define and evaluate RBAC, least-privilege, privileged-access, service-account, and administrative-access models.
  • Evaluate identity dependencies during cloud, application, mobile, and infrastructure modernization initiatives.
  • Develop identity architecture diagrams, interface definitions, technical standards, security patterns, operating procedures, and integration documentation.
  • Participate in architecture reviews, technical design reviews, eARB activities, engineering working groups, requirements sessions, and solution assessments.
  • Perform root-cause analysis for complex authentication, authorization, provisioning, federation, directory, synchronization, and application-access issues.
  • Provide technical guidance, mentoring, and knowledge transfer to engineering, application, security, cloud, and operations teams.
