Role: ForgeRock Developer

Location: Remote

Requirements

• Strong, hands-on focus on development and coding not architecture or administrative tasks. This role is dedicated to building, extending, and integrating ForgeRock Identity solutions through Java, Groovy, and API frameworks. You will also lead discovery efforts to lay a solid foundation for future system improvements and enhancements.
• Develop and enhance ForgeRock components (e.g., AM, IDM, DS, IG) using Java and Groovy, enabling custom workflows, hooks, scripting, and connector logic.
• Design, implement, and integrate RESTful APIs for ForgeRock systems and external services, ensuring robust identity and access flows.
• Create and maintain attribute mapping logic across systems (LDAP, RDBMS, HR, external apps), ensuring data consistency and accuracy.
• Conduct discovery analysis of current system behaviors, pain points, and integration patterns to inform future-proofing strategies and development roadmaps.
• Serve as a solution-focused coder, translating business requirements into functional, maintainable source code and testing artifacts.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (DevOps, security, QA, business) to support code deployment, testing, and performance validation.
• Produce clear technical documentation: code comments, mapping matrices, API specs, runbooks, and knowledge artifacts for future reference and enhancement efforts.
• Hands-on development experience with ForgeRock Identity Platform components and customization through Java and Groovy.
• Expert-level Java coding skills, with experience extending ForgeRock workflows, modules, and identity logic.
• Proficient in Groovy scripting for business logic, transformation, and dynamic workflows.
• Strong experience designing and invoking REST APIs, particularly in identity flows and system integration.
• Proven ability to model and implement attribute mapping systems, provisioning logic, and connector workflows.
• Aptitude for discovery and system analysis, translating observations into tangible implementation plans.
• Familiarity with identity standards and integration technologies: SAML, OAuth2, OpenID Connect, LDAP, RDBMS.
• Hands-on experience with DevOps practices: CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and automated deployments.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, debugging acumen, and ability to create robust, testable code.

Desired, not required

• Previous work within financial services IAM environments, where compliance and secure integrations are critical.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Azure) and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Exposure to infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible) in supporting ForgeRock deployments.
• Prior experience performing proof-of-concept builds or prototypes that inform larger system upgrades.
