Information Security Identity & Access Management Engineer

The Information Security Identity & Access Management (IAM) Engineer is responsible for engineering, implementing, and supporting enterprise identity and access capabilities that protect JFG systems and data through strong authentication, authorization, and access governance. Working under the direction of the Information Security Engineer & Operations Manager, this position focuses on Identity Lifecycle Management, Identity Governance & Administration (IGA), and Privileged Access Management (PAM) to ensure timely, appropriate, and auditable access aligned to business roles and the principle of least privilege. The engineer partners cross-functionally with IT, architecture, HR, and business stakeholders to deliver scalable identity solutions that enable secure business operations. Consistent with industry trends, this role requires a broad, cross-functional skillset across IAM, security architecture & engineering, and data protection, rather than deep specialization in a single domain. The role contributes to the design and continuous improvement of zero trust-aligned access controls, ensuring integration with cloud, on-prem, and customer identity platforms. This is an individual contributor role that may provide technical leadership and mentorship. Occasional off-hour and on-call support may be required. Less than 5% travel expected.
