Description
Our Client, an EV Manufacturing company, is looking for an Identity & Access Management Architect - Okta Migration for their Palo Alto, CA/Hybrid location.
Responsibilities:
Okta Migration & IAM Operations (core)
Lead technical architecture for the Entra ID to Okta workforce identity migration: federation design, app integration sequencing, cutover planning, rollback strategy, and hypercare
Design and build SSO/SAML/OIDC integrations across the enterprise application portfolio; architect multi-tenant deployment (separate US/EU tenants) to meet regional data requirements
Architect lifecycle management and provisioning workflows (HR-driven joiner/mover/leaver), including SCIM integrations
Define and implement MFA, adaptive authentication, and device assurance policies aligned to a zero-trust roadmap
Serve as technical counterpart to the implementation partner: review designs, challenge assumptions, hold delivery quality to standard
Maintain and operate the Okta environment post-cutover: policy tuning, integration onboarding, incident support, and operational runbooks
Produce audit-ready documentation for an ISO 27001 / TISAX-aligned control environment
Contribute to the design and build of a custom identity orchestration layer (Databricks or equivalent): attribute-driven provisioning, ABAC policy models, JIT privileged access, anomaly detection, automated deprovisioning, and audit/recertification capabilities
Support integration of identity and authorization event logs into the cybersecurity SIEM
Requirements:
7+ years in identity and access management, with 3+ years hands-on Okta experience building, deploying, and maintaining Okta Workforce Identity Cloud environments
At least one completed enterprise migration from Entra ID / Azure AD to Okta as architect or technical lead
Deep expertise in SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0, SCIM, and directory integration (AD/Entra ID hybrid scenarios)
Experience operating and administering Okta in production: policy management, app integrations, lifecycle workflows, troubleshooting
Experience designing MFA and adaptive access policies at enterprise scale
Strong documentation skills; able to produce audit-ready artifacts
Proven ability to work alongside system integrators while retaining architectural ownership
Preferred Qualifications
Okta Certified Consultant or Okta Certified Architect
Experience building custom identity automation or governance tooling using Python/SQL, event-driven pipelines, and APIs
Working knowledge of data platforms (Databricks, Spark, or comparable) for event ingestion and processing
Experience with ABAC/policy-based authorization models and JIT/ephemeral privileged access patterns in AWS
SIEM integration experience (log normalization, detection engineering for identity signals)
Familiarity with IGA platforms, PAM solutions, and enterprise password managers
Experience in regulated or automotive environments (TISAX, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53)
