Client Secure is looking for a IAM Software Engineer within the Identity and Access Management (IAM) team. This candidate will work on software projects related to application security such as single sign on, SAML based user identity federation, OAuth2/OpenID Connect and multi-factor authentication. The candidate will have the opportunity to manage all phases of the Product Engineering and Software Development Lifecycle including requirements, design/architecture, implementation, testing, documentation, and packaging using Java/J2EE/JS technologies.

Responsibilities:

• Integrate IAM solutions with existing applications and systems and repackage vendor-provided binaries into Client's standard deployable format.
• Develop and maintain automation scripts for user provisioning, de-provisioning, and access management.
• Design, implementation, and optimization of highly scalable, secure, and fault-tolerant cloud infrastructure on platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP, ensuring best practices in cost, performance, and security.
• Architect, develop, and maintain advanced CI/CD pipelines for complex, distributed Java applications, integrating automated testing, security scanning, and release orchestration.
• Act as a subject matter expert and hands-on contributor in Java development, designing, coding, and reviewing critical components, optimizing application performance, and troubleshooting complex issues in production environments.
• Drive the adoption and implementation of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles using tools like Terraform or CloudFormation for provisioning and managing all cloud resources.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning and application deployment using Bash, Python, Ansible or other languages.
• Implement AWS, Azure, or GCP security best practices, including VPCs, security groups, encryption, and monitoring for compliance and audit requirements.
• Collaborate closely with multiple development teams and architects to define application deployment strategies, optimize build processes, and ensure seamless integration of new features from development to production.
• Design and implement robust monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, Datadog) to ensure high observability and proactive incident detection for all services.
• Champion and implement containerization and orchestration strategies using Docker and advanced Kubernetes patterns (e.g., Helm) for Java microservices.
• Evaluate, recommend, and implement new technologies and methodologies to enhance engineering efficiency and system reliability.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Minimum of 8 years of progressive experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or a similar role.
• Demonstrated expert-level proficiency in Java development (minimum 5+ years hands-on coding experience), including extensive experience with Spring Boot, Microservices architecture, multithreading, and performance tuning.
• Deep hands-on experience (5+ years) with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including advanced usage of compute, networking, storage, database, and specific container/orchestration services (e.g., ECS, EKS, AKS, GKE).
• Extensive experience (5+ years) designing, implementing, and optimizing complex CI/CD pipelines for large-scale applications (e.g., Jenkins, Harness).
• Proven expertise with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform (preferred) or CloudFormation for managing cloud infrastructure.
• Advanced proficiency with containerization technologies, including Docker and Kubernetes, with experience in production environments.
• Strong scripting skills in languages like Python and/or Bash for automation and system administration.
• In-depth understanding of distributed systems, microservices architecture, network protocols, and security best practices.
• Expertise with monitoring, logging, and alerting tools and strategies.
• Experience with configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef, Puppet) is a plus.
• Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and analytical skills for complex systems.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and mentoring abilities.
