We are seeking a highly skilled Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) Engineer to join the Zero Trust execution team at U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). In a Zero Trust architecture, identity is the new perimeter, and this role is responsible for building and maintaining the "source of truth" that governs access to the Command's most critical data.

• SailPoint Architecture & Configuration:
  Lead the design, deployment, and ongoing management of SailPoint Identity Now (or IIQ) to automate the full identity lifecycle (Joiner, Mover, Leaver) across hybrid and on‑premises environments.
• ABAC Attribute Management:
  Define and manage the schema for "Trust Attributes" (e.g., Clearance, COI, Project Codes) within SailPoint, ensuring they align with the NIST 8112 metadata standard for consumption by policy decision points.
• Air‑Gapped Identity Operations:
  Manage the offline instance of SailPoint on the Top‑Secret network, developing the workflows to import "Attribute Manifests" and ensure that identity data remains synchronized with the low‑side source of truth.
• Access Certification:
  Configure and execute automated access certification campaigns for critical data repositories and privileged roles, ensuring compliance with DoD audit requirements.
• Role Modeling:
  Work with mission owners to define Technical Roles and Business Roles within SailPoint, replacing broad, static Active Directory groups with granular, policy‑driven access roles.
