More About This Job

This role is the senior application developer and technical lead for a small IAM engineering team. You will own end-to-end delivery of custom applications and integrations that support identity and access management services, from requirements discovery and solution design through development, testing, deployment, and production support.

You will build and maintain web applications and APIs using modern .NET (ASP.NET Core) and work with SQL Server-based data access patterns (including stored procedures where applicable). The role includes maintaining and enhancing select legacy .NET applications as needed, while identifying practical opportunities to modernize components over time.

A key part of the position is integrating IAM solutions with enterprise systems and vendor platforms, applying secure design and secure coding practices, and supporting authentication and authorization needs using modern standards (e.g., OAuth2/OIDC and SSO patterns). You will troubleshoot complex production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement durable fixes.

You will use Azure DevOps, Github Enterprise, and YAML-based CI/CD pipelines to automate builds and deployments, manage configuration and secrets through approved mechanisms, and contribute to operational excellence through structured logging, diagnostics, documentation, and runbooks. As the technical lead, you will mentor a second developer through code reviews, standards, and day-to-day guidance, and partner closely with IAM leadership, engineers, and stakeholders to plan, estimate, prioritize, and deliver work with clear communication of tradeoffs and risks.
