What this job asks for AI summary
A senior-level IAM engineering role focused on modernizing and maturing an enterprise identity and access management program. The work centers on building strategic roadmaps, automating manual processes, expanding application integrations, governing non-human identities, and improving audit and compliance capabilities — not day-to-day administration. Relevant backgrounds include hands-on IAM engineering with platforms such as CyberArk PAM, IGA tools, or Microsoft Identity solutions.

Why we read it this way (7)
The title says 'Lead IAM Security Engineer – CyberArk PAM', but CyberArk PAM is listed only under 'Preferred Technical Experience', not in the required qualifications — it is not a hard gate.
All named technologies (CyberArk PAM, Palo Alto PAM, IGA platforms, Microsoft Identity, SSO, PKI, Identity Federation) appear exclusively under the 'Preferred Technical Experience' section and are framed as 'highly desirable' or 'a plus', so all are marked preferred.
The role is titled 'Lead' and 'Senior' interchangeably in the posting; the actual scope (enterprise program ownership, roadmap development, strategic engineering) supports a Senior classification. The 5+ years requirement with a carve-out for 'exceptional candidates with fewer years' was taken as the stated minimum.
SOC confidence is Medium: the role sits at the intersection of IAM engineering (security analysis, 15-1212) and identity platform engineering (15-1299). The dominant framing around security governance, compliance, and audit readiness tips it toward 15-1212.
This is a W2-only contract (12+ months); no C2C or corp-to-corp eligibility. Visa sponsorship is stated as available.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
