Why we read it this way (5)
The civil service title is 'IT Security Specialist' (code 95622), which maps most naturally to 15-1212 Information Security Analysts; however, the day-to-day work described — provisioning, user/group management, authentication support — is closer to systems/identity administration (15-1244). 15-1212 was chosen because IAM sits within the security function at OTI and the civil service title is explicitly security-focused.
The degree requirement follows the NYC civil service standard: a bachelor's degree plus 4 years of relevant experience, OR an equivalent combination of education and experience. Because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted, the degree requirement is set to Bachelors only as the baseline; candidates without a degree but with equivalent experience may still qualify.
No compensation range is stated in the posting.
The role is titled 'Associate IAM Engineer,' suggesting a junior framing, but the 4-year experience requirement and independent operational ownership of IAM services support a Mid-level classification.
Only Microsoft Entra ID is named as a specific platform; the posting otherwise refers generically to 'related platforms' and 'enterprise systems' without naming them.
