Lead Identity Engineer – API & AI Gateways

Lead Identity Engineer

We are seeking a Lead Identity Engineer to lead the architecture of our next-generation API security and authorization platforms. While deeply rooted in core IAM principles, you will leverage your deep expertise in securing APIs and modern authorization standards (OAuth/OIDC) to architect the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Gateway, the secure bridge connecting our enterprise data to AI agents. In this role, you will primarily focus on building robust Authorization frameworks and API Governance layers that can scale to support not just human users, but the high-velocity, complex access patterns of AI agents.

The candidate will drive the transformation of our security posture by extending our robust API security controls to the emerging AI ecosystem. In this role, responsibilities include architecting and governing the MCP Gateway. You will ensure that critical data sources are protected against unauthorized AI access. By implementing Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA) and context-aware policies, you will enable the safe adoption of Generative AI, ensuring that our digital supply chain remains secure, compliant, and ready for the future of automation.
