The Opportunity:

You know that the user is the last frontier for cybersecurity. It’s where the perimeter is drawn, and securing identities is pivotal in the fight against cybercriminals. As an Identity and Access Management (IAM) specialist, you have the skills and experience to keep hackers from taking data and breaking processes. We’re looking for someone like you to help our clients meet their missions without disruption.

As an Identity Provider Engineer at Booz Allen, you’ll play a critical role in the world of identity and access management and zero trust. In this role, you’ll support large‑scale IAM projects for our clients. You’ll interface with stakeholders and engineering teams to delve into the details and dependencies of critical processes and users’ roles within them.

You’ll analyze the identity lifecycle, articulating access requirements and defining enterprise identity records. You’ll use your experience in IAM to design, deploy, and support systems that verify appropriate user privileges and manage credentials for accessing our clients’ most valuable assets. From single sign‑on to privileged access systems, you’ll have the chance to implement enterprise‑class solutions and stop adversaries in their tracks.
