Conditional Access & Zero Trust Enablement:
Design, implement, and continuously improve Conditional Access policies aligned with Zurich security standards and Zero Trust architecture.
Define scalable Conditional Access patterns for workforce users, privileged roles, devices, applications, and workload identities.
Engineer policy automation, validation, and safe deployment mechanisms to reduce risk and configuration drift.
Partner with security and architecture teams to evolve baseline protections and Zero Trust strategy.
Platform Engineering & Automation:
• Develop automation using APIs, SDKs, scripting, and configuration as code to improve IAM and CIAM platform reliability and efficiency.
Support CI/CD pipelines and controlled promotion of IAM, CIAM, and Conditional Access changes across environments.
Contribute to platform upgrades, new feature adoption, and continuous reduction of technical debt across Okta, Auth0, and Entra ID.
Proactively implement engineering improvements that enhance security, resilience, and scalability.
Application & Cloud Integration:
Partner with application teams to design and deliver secure IAM, CIAM, and Conditional Access integrations for SaaS, cloud, custom, API based, and legacy applications.
Lead IAM and CIAM technical assessments during application onboarding, migrations, and cloud transformations.
Validate IAM and CIAM designs to ensure production readiness, security compliance, and user experience.
Resolve complex federation and access challenges across hybrid and multi tenant environments.
Security, Risk & Architecture Alignment:
Ensure all IAM, CIAM, and Conditional Access solutions comply with Zurich security policies, architectural standards, and regulatory requirements.
Implement controls supporting least privilege, strong authentication, continuous access evaluation, and defense in depth.
