Job Details

About the Role

We are seeking a seasoned Principal Security Engineer / Architect with deep expertise in CIAM (Customer Identity and Access Management), Okta, and Auth0. This is a senior-level consulting/architectural role for complex enterprise-level identity projects. You must be comfortable driving architecture decisions, advising on migration paths, and implementing robust and scalable solutions across multi-tenant environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Architect and implement CIAM solutions leveraging Okta and Auth0, including multi-tenant architecture strategies

  • Lead technical design discussions, create scalable identity models, and manage secure customer authentication flows

  • Guide and support complex Auth0 to Okta (or vice versa) migrations, including JIT (Just-In-Time) provisioning and Okta CIS integration

  • Design and build custom Actions, Forms, and Flows within Auth0 to support advanced authentication logic and business rules

  • Advise clients on OAuth 2.0 vs. OIDC (OpenID Connect) and apply correct protocol usage in different contexts

  • Translate business requirements into secure, scalable identity solutions aligned with modern best practices

  • Mentor internal teams and provide technical leadership throughout project delivery lifecycle

Required Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in identity architecture, security engineering, or related roles

  • Proven expertise in Okta and Auth0, including CIAM, authorization flows, and multi-tenant implementations

  • Okta CIC certification (Certified Identity and Access Management Consultant) preferred or equivalent demonstrable expertise

  • Demonstrated ability to explain and justify multi-tenant Auth0 architectures from both a business and technical perspective

  • Deep knowledge of OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, and JIT user provisioning workflows

  • Extensive hands-on experience with Auth0 Actions, Forms, Flows, and custom extension points

  • Strong consulting presence, communication skills, and ability to interface with both technical and executive stakeholders

Preferred Skills

  • Experience with DevOps pipelines, Terraform, or infrastructure-as-code for CIAM deployments

  • Familiarity with regulatory compliance frameworks (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2) in identity contexts

  • Ability to document and present architecture recommendations and decision frameworks clearly
