Joblaze insights
Quick facts
From the original posting
The problems are high-stakes, data-dense, and unforgiving.
Corporate Security at Ramp owns the identity and access layer for the company: Okta, Google Workspace, the SaaS applications behind them, and the governance that decides who holds what. We are hiring a Senior Security Engineer, Identity, to turn that layer into IAM as a service — a platform the rest of Ramp can use without filing a ticket.
The role is hands-on. You will design how identity works at Ramp and write the code that implements it: identity configuration in Terraform, entitlements created and governed through an agentic workflow, and an on-call agent that answers access questions before anyone has to ask a person. As more access flows between applications and AI agents rather than people, you will own how those identities are issued, scoped, and audited.
You will report to the Corporate Security lead and work closely with IT, Security Engineering, AI DevX, and the Data team.
Own Terraform for identity services: Okta applications, authorization servers, authentication policies, groups and group rules, and SCIM provisioning
Design and operate custom authorization servers, including audiences, scopes, claims, and access policies for internal services and AI agents
Implement app-to-app and agent access through Cross App Access (XAA) and ID-JAG, so delegated access is brokered and governed by the IdP rather than granted user by user
Own our IGA platform: the entitlement catalog, ownership, access requests, time-bound grants, and certifications
Build the agentic workflow that takes a team from "I have a new group of people who need access to X" to a defined, owned, and governed entitlement, with the Terraform and IGA changes opened for review
Build identity graphs with ISPM tooling to target overprivileged and long-standing access across human and non-human identities
Build the identity data lake behind an on-call agent that can explain events like a User Not Assigned Application error in Okta before the employee opens a ticket
6+ years in identity engineering or IAM, including operational ownership of Okta or an equivalent identity provider at scale
Deep understanding of OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, and SCIM, including how custom authorization servers issue and enforce aud, scope, and claims
Working knowledge of how XAA and ID-JAG work under the hood, including token exchange and JWT bearer grants
Experience with ISPM or identity graph tooling, and turning its findings into automated remediation
Experience owning an IGA platform or building the equivalent in-house
Terraform experience managing identity providers, including module design, state, and CI
Programming in Python or Go, with experience building against platform APIs
Flexible PTO
Centralized home-office equipment ordering
Health and wellness stipend
Budget for intra-office travel
Weekly coffee stipend
100% medical, dental & vision insurance coverage for you, with partial coverage for dependents
One Medical annual membership
Fertility HRA (up to $10,000 per year)
Pet insurance
In-office perks: lunch, snacks, drinks, and more
Group medical, dental, and vision coverage through Sun Life
Life, AD&D, and disability coverage
