The ICAM Engineers implement the design, integration, and governance of enterprise identity solutions that form the foundation of a Zero Trust security model. This role requires a proven track record in identity architecture, access governance, authentication technologies, and compliance with Department of Defense (DoD) cybersecurity standards.

Responsibilities:

• Execute engineering solutions for identity credential and access management for Zero Trust implementation across enterprise systems.
• Design and maintain an enterprise-wide identity and access management strategy aligned with DoD Zero Trust principles, NIST 800-207, and DoD ICAM Reference Design.
• Lead integration of federated identity, single sign-on (SSO), and multi-factor authentication (MFA) across cloud and on-prem environments.
• Develop and maintain policies, standards, and reference architectures to enforce least-privilege and attribute-based access control (ABAC).
• Conduct the implementation of Privileged Access Management (PAM) and Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) solutions.
• Collaborate with cybersecurity, network, and cloud teams to align ICAM solutions with Zero Trust pillars (identity, device, network, application, and data).
• Ensure compliance with DoD 8140/8570, RMF, FedRAMP, and other applicable frameworks.
• Lead proof-of-concepts (POCs) and technology evaluations for emerging identity

Requirements:

• Active DoD TS/SCI Clearance
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Cybersecurity, or related field (Master’s preferred).
• 10+ years of experience in enterprise identity and access management architecture
• Demonstrated expertise with Zero Trust frameworks and DoD ICAM standards.
• Hands-on experience with SAML, OAuth2.0, OpenID Connect, PKI, and certificate management.
• Experience with DoD enterprise solutions such as Radiant Logic, Okta, Ping Identity, SailPoint, ForgeRock, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), or equivalent.
• Deep knowledge of Privileged Access Management and Identity Governance & Administration solutions.
• Strong understanding of DoD cybersecurity compliance frameworks (RMF, NIST SP 800-53, 800-207, 8140/8570).
• IAM / DoD Certification IAT Level II (e.g., Security+ CE, SSCP, GSEC)

Preferred:

• Advanced Certs (Preferred)CISSP, ISSAP, ISSEP, ISSMP, CISM, CAP
• Experience supporting DoD or Federal government environments.
• Familiarity with Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and continuous authentication models.
• Strong communication skills with ability to brief senior leadership and interface with stakeholders.
• Ability to lead teams in complex, multi-vendor environments.
