Job Description

The Cybersecurity Engineer – IGA is responsible for supporting the onboarding of applications into the organization’s Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) platform. This role ensures applications are integrated with standardized access controls, federation, MFA, and Separation of Duties (SoD) policies. The engineer serves as a subject matter expert in identity lifecycle management, access certification, and governance processes, collaborating with application owners, security architects, and engineering teams to ensure secure, compliant access across the enterprise.

• Support the end‑to‑end onboarding of applications into the enterprise IGA platform (e.g., SailPoint, Saviynt, Omada).
