Job Description
About the Role
We're building out our security and compliance function, and this role owns the identity, IT, and compliance-evidence backbone the rest of the program runs on. You'll own how people and systems get access, how that access is reviewed and proven, and how we keep our SOC 2 program continuously audit-ready.
If you're the kind of engineer who makes access clean, least-privilege, and defensible — and can produce evidence an auditor trusts without hand-holding — this is your role.
Key Responsibilities
- Own identity and access management (IAM) end to end, including user and service-account lifecycle (joiner, mover, leaver), least-privilege enforcement, MFA, key and credential hygiene, and access to cloud and SaaS systems.
- Conduct periodic access reviews across cloud, SaaS, and internal systems, and produce audit-ready evidence demonstrating completion.
- Own corporate IT, including endpoint management, SSO and identity-provider administration, and secure onboarding/offboarding processes.
- Maintain SOC 2 compliance by managing control evidence, keeping the compliance automation platform current, and supporting internal and external audits.
- Maintain the control ownership matrix, ensuring it stays accurate as the environment evolves.
- Independently review third-party and vendor access, ensuring objective and compliant access governance.
- Partner with Security and Engineering teams to remediate or document identity- and access-related findings per established processes.
- Strong hands-on experience with IAM, including identity lifecycle management, least privilege, MFA, federation, SSO, and key/credential management.
- Proven experience supporting or maintaining a SOC 2 Type II compliance program, including ownership of control evidence and audit participation.
- Experience conducting access reviews and recertification cycles, with sound judgment on access approvals and revocations.
- Hands-on experience managing corporate IT, including endpoints, SSO, and employee onboarding/offboarding.
- Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure, with hands-on or working knowledge of AWS and Azure, is preferred.
- Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, audit-ready documentation.
- Strong sense of integrity and objectivity when reviewing access permissions and compliance requirements.
- ~4+ years of experience in Identity & Access Management, IT, Security Operations, or Compliance Engineering.
- Experience with compliance automation platforms such as Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, or similar.
- Hands-on experience with identity providers such as Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, or AWS IAM Identity Center.
- Familiarity with AWS IAM and cloud access management models.
- AWS certification (Solutions Architect Associate preferred), or willingness to obtain one within 90 days.
- Relevant certifications such as CISA, ISC2 SSCP/CC, or CompTIA Security+.
- Exposure to GDPR or other privacy and regulatory compliance frameworks.
