SailPoint Administrator/Secuirty Engineer

Job Description

Title: SailPoint / IAM Security Engineer

Location: Fort Lauderdale, FL (On-site with hybrid flexibility after 90 days)

Duration: Contract to hire (90 day conversion)

Overview:

Our client is seeking a hands-on Security Engineer with a strong focus on Identity and Access Management (IAM) to support and mature their security infrastructure. SailPoint has recently been implemented with the support of a third-party vendor and is approaching go-live. This role will take ownership of SailPoint administration post–go-live while also contributing broadly across cloud security, infrastructure security, and identity-related remediation efforts. This position is ideal for someone who can operate as both an IAM specialist and a practical security engineer in a growing environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as the primary internal administrator and technical owner for SailPoint (Identity Security Cloud preferred; IdentityIQ or earlier versions of SailPoint also considered), supporting post–go-live stabilization, configuration, and ongoing operations.
• Partner with vendors and internal teams to finalize SailPoint go-live activities, address implementation issues, and optimize identity governance processes.
• Manage and enhance IAM capabilities including user lifecycle management, access provisioning/deprovisioning, role-based access control (RBAC), and access reviews.
• Support Azure and cloud identity integrations, including Azure AD, service accounts, and secure API access.
• Work with CyberArk and Azure Key Vault to support secrets management, privileged access, and remediation of related security findings.
• Assist with securing APIs and service accounts, ensuring proper authentication, authorization, and credential handling.
• Validate MDR tooling and endpoint protection coverage, including verification of CrowdStrike deployment and effectiveness.
• Step in to assist with SOC-related remediation when issues arise, partnering with internal teams or managed providers as needed.
• Coordinate penetration testing efforts by working with external vendors to scope, schedule, and track remediation activities.
• Collaborate with infrastructure, network, and firewall teams to support broader security initiatives and reduce risk across the environment.
• Document processes, configurations, and security standards related to IAM and cloud security.

Qualifications:

• Experience administering or supporting SailPoint (ISC preferred but not required; IdentityIQ or older SailPoint versions acceptable).
• Strong background in IAM, security engineering, or infrastructure security within Azure or hybrid environments.
• Hands-on experience with Azure AD, cloud security concepts, and identity integrations.
• Familiarity with privileged access management tools such as CyberArk and secrets management solutions (e.g., Azure Key Vault).
• Working knowledge of endpoint security, MDR services, and vulnerability remediation processes.
• Experience coordinating with security vendors, SOC teams, and penetration testing providers.
• Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to operate effectively in post-implementation or remediation-focused environments.
