ROLE About This Role We’re seeking a Senior IAM Automation Engineer to transform

how Apex manages workforce identity and access management. This role combines

DevOps/SRE practices with deep IAM expertise to eliminate manual, UI-based

processes and build self-service, API-driven solutions that scale across our

hybrid and multi-cloud environment. As a senior technical contributor, you’ll

also mentor junior team members and help elevate the team’s overall automation

and engineering capabilities. You’ll focus on workforce identity (employees,

contractors, partners) while collaborating with our CIAM team who handles

customer-facing identity services. As a technical leader, you’ll drive the

implementation of Tines as our strategic automation platform, develop

infrastructure-as-code for identity systems, and architect integrations that

enable the business to move fast without compromising security. As IAM evolves

with AI adoption, you’ll help lead our response to emerging non-human identity

(NHI) challenges, partnering with SecOps to develop governance for AI agents,

service accounts, and machine identities. You’ll also leverage AI tools

effectively and responsibly in your daily work to accelerate automation

development and problem-solving. This role requires someone who can write

production code, architect distributed systems, and translate business

requirements into automated solutions, not just configure IAM platforms. What

You’ll Do Build infrastructure-as-code for identity systems - Develop and

maintain Terraform, PowerShell, and Python automation across our hybrid

infrastructure (on-prem AD/Adaxes, Entra ID, Okta, AWS IAM, GCP/GCI) to enable

repeatable, version-controlled deployments with proper change management. Design

API-driven automation and integrations - Architect scalable solutions that

orchestrate identity workflows across HRIS (Workday), ticketing (ServiceNow),

collaboration platforms (Slack, Teams, M365), and enterprise applications,

leveraging APIs and SDKs to eliminate manual processes. Implement observability

and self-healing capabilities - Build monitoring, alerting, and automated

remediation for identity systems to reduce operational toil, improve

reliability, and enable proactive issue detection across authentication flows

and provisioning processes. Enable rapid application onboarding - Create

automation frameworks and integration patterns that allow the business to

onboard new SaaS applications with minimal manual intervention while maintaining

security and compliance standards. Pioneer non-human identity (NHI) governance -

Partner with SecOps to develop policies, controls, and automation for managing

AI agents, LLM API keys, service accounts, bot identities, and

machine-to-machine authentication as AI adoption accelerates across the

organization. Mentor and develop junior team members - Share your hard-won

experience and technical expertise to elevate the team’s capabilities. Conduct

code reviews, pair programming sessions, and knowledge transfer that builds

automation skills, IAM expertise, and engineering judgment across the team.

Drive technical innovation in the identity space - Evaluate emerging tools and

practices, establish CI/CD pipelines for IAM deployments, and leverage

AI-powered development tools (LLMs, code generation, AI assistants) responsibly

to accelerate automation delivery and stay ahead of business needs. Required

Skills & Experience Technical Expertise Software development proficiency - 5+

years writing production code (Python, PowerShell, Go, or similar) with strong

API and SDK integration experience IAM architecture skills - Deep understanding

of SSO protocols (SAML, OIDC), provisioning standards (SCIM), directory services

(Active Directory, Entra ID), and enterprise IAM platforms (Okta strongly

preferred) Infrastructure-as-Code mastery - Hands-on experience with Terraform,

Ansible, or similar tools, plus CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments

BambooHR, ADP) Engineering Mindset Problem-solving ability - Experience

debugging complex distributed systems, analyzing API integrations, and

optimizing automated workflows Pragmatic engineering - Balance between perfect

and done; build iteratively with continuous improvement AI-augmented

productivity - Comfortable leveraging AI tools (LLMs, code assistants, AI pair

programming) responsibly to accelerate development while maintaining code

quality and security Forward-thinking security - Interest in emerging IAM

challenges like non-human identities, AI agent governance, and machine identity

management Mentorship and knowledge sharing - Genuine interest in developing

junior engineers through code reviews, pairing, and transferring hard-won

lessons from production experience Technical communication - Document

architecture decisions, create operational runbooks, and explain technical

concepts to business stakeholders Employee experience focus - Understand that

internal users are customers; design automation that enables productivity
