Role Overview:
IAM Engineers at Moniepoint build secure, automated, and auditable identity workflows across internal platforms and cloud environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Automate IAM identity lifecycle management (user/service accounts, roles, groups) using Terraform and GitLab pipelines.
• Implement custom OAuth2 and client credential flows for secure internal app authentication.
• Enforce role-based access control and attribute-based access control models, including maker-checker review workflows.
• Design and maintain audit-ready access provisioning systems integrated into CI/CD and runtime.
• Define secure patterns for API key management, secrets rotation, and multi-cloud identity federation.
• Collaborate on enforcement of access policies across Kubernetes clusters and containerized apps.
  
  

Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience in IAM, DevSecOps, or security engineering roles.
• Bachelors in computer science or a related field.
• Hands-on with Terraform for IAM automation (AWS IAM, GCP IAM, custom identity stores).
• Deep knowledge of cloud native roles and identity lifecycle management.
• Strong knowledge of OAuth2, OpenID Connect, SSO, and authorization token flows.
• Experience with secrets management systems (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager).
