What this job asks for AI summary
This role sits at the intersection of cybersecurity and Identity and Access Management (IAM) testing. Day-to-day work involves designing and executing test plans — including functional, regression, performance, and chaos testing — for IAM solutions built on SailPoint IdentityIQ, alongside broader cybersecurity duties such as vulnerability management, penetration testing, and forensic investigations. It suits someone with hands-on IAM and security operations experience who can work independently within an on-call rotation.

Why we read it this way (6)
This role is a genuine hybrid of cyber security operations and QA/test engineering, with roughly equal weight given to both in the job description. The primary classification as Information Security Analysts (15-1212) reflects the explicit cyber security scope (vulnerability management, penetration testing, forensics, perimeter management), but 15-1253 (Software QA Analysts and Testers) is a strong runner-up given the detailed test planning, execution, defect management, and UAT responsibilities.
SailPoint IIQ, JIRA, and Selenium appear together under a 'Software Tools' bullet in the Minimum Requirements section. SailPoint IIQ is explicitly called out as a must ('is a must'); JIRA and Selenium are listed in the same required-section sentence without a 'preferred' qualifier, so all three are treated as hard gates.
The degree requirement accepts 'equivalent combination of education and experience,' so no minimum formal degree is flagged.
The IAM-focused skills (identity governance, IAM concepts, SailPoint IIQ integration) appear under 'Preferred Requirement' and are marked accordingly.
Xcel Energy is headquartered in Minneapolis, MN; no specific city is stated in the posting, so the Minneapolis-St. Paul CBSA is used as the best available location. The company operates across eight states, so the actual work location may differ.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): identity governance.
