IDAM Onboarding Engineer

Dev/Null Security is a leading cybersecurity consultancy specializing in security solution architecture, engineering, implementation, and operational support. With decades of experience, our expert teams protect high-value systems from advanced threats. We provide exceptional consulting services and deliver value at every step, focusing on Strategy and Advisory, Consulting and Managed Services, and Privileged Access Management. Dev/Null Security is dedicated to safeguarding critical assets and helping clients navigate complex cybersecurity challenges.

Purpose:

We are actively seeking an IDAM Onboarding Engineer to lead the design and delivery of AI-enabled Identity & Access Management (IDAM) onboarding capabilities that improve joiner/mover/leaver outcomes—faster provisioning, fewer errors, stronger least-privilege controls, and audit-ready evidence. You’ll bridge IAM operations, cyber security, data/AI teams, and risk/control stakeholders to take solutions from concept to production and scale.

Key Responsibilities:

Product & delivery leadership:

• Own, the roadmap for AI-enabled onboarding (intake → recommendation → approvals → provisioning → audit evidence).
• Translate onboarding pain points into prioritised use cases, user stories, and measurable outcomes.
• Run delivery cadence across IAM ops, engineering, and data science teams; manage RAID and dependencies.

Deliver AI-enabled onboarding capabilities:

• Access/role recommendations based on joiner attributes and peer patterns (least privilege by default).
• Intelligent request intake (free text to structured entitlements) with missing-info prompts.
• Automated SoD/policy pre-checks and exception workflows.
• Approval routing optimisation and onboarding “copilot” for service desk/IAM ops.
• Define confidence thresholds and human-in-the-loop decision points.

Data, integration & operating model

• Coordinate data sourcing and quality across HR feeds, IAM catalogue, historical requests, org hierarchy, and ticketing/workflow tools.
• Partner with engineering to integrate into IAM workflows (e.g., ServiceNow/IGA tooling), ensuring secure APIs, logging, and resiliency.
• Define BAU support model, runbooks, and training for IAM ops and approvers.

Risk, controls & Responsible AI

• Ensure alignment with privacy, information security, and model risk management expectations.
• Drive auditability: decision rationale, approvals, model outputs, and change history.
• Implement guardrails for GenAI where used (data leakage prevention, prompt controls, content filtering, monitoring).
• Define monitoring for model performance and control effectiveness (drift, override rates, exception volumes).

Value realisation:

• Define and track KPIs: onboarding cycle time, rework rate, access errors, SoD conflicts prevented, approver turnaround time.
• Drive adoption through stakeholder engagement, communications, and continuous improvement.

Required Skills:

• Strong delivery leadership (product/programme/project) in IAM, cyber security, or enterprise workflow automation.
• Solid understanding of IDAM/IGA concepts: joiner/mover/leaver, RBAC, least privilege, approvals, SoD, audit evidence.
• Working knowledge of AI/ML and/or GenAI delivery lifecycle (requirements → build → deploy → monitor).
• Experience operating in regulated environments with governance, risk, and control requirements.
• Excellent stakeholder management across security, operations, technology, and risk.

Desirable Skills / experience

• Experience with IGA/ITSM platforms (e.g., SailPoint, Saviynt, ServiceNow) and directory services.
• Familiarity with data governance/lineage and MLOps/ModelOps monitoring.
• Experience designing exception workflows and control automation for access management.
