Senior Security IAM Engineer

Scopely is looking for a Senior IAM Security Enginee r to join our Information Security team on a remote basis or hybrid basis if located in Barcelona. This role will focus on building, scaling, and securing Scopely’s identity and access management ecosystem across our cloud, SaaS, AI, and remote access environments, with a strong emphasis on Terraform-based IAM automation, access workflow engineering, least-privilege design, identity risk reduction, and AI-assisted operational workflows.

This is a highly technical, hands-on role for someone who can operate across AWS, GCP, Okta, AWS IAM Identity Center, Zero Trust access models, identity governance workflows, and modern AI-enabled engineering environments, while building scalable identity systems through Infrastructure as Code, workflow orchestration, and automation-first security engineering.

What You Will Do

Build and Evolve Modern IAM Architecture

• Design and evolve Scopely’s IAM architecture to support a high-scale, cloud-first environment across AWS, GCP, SaaS applications, AI tooling, and remote access platforms.

Lead initiatives around:

• Federated identity architecture using SAML, OIDC, OAuth, and SCIM

• Workforce identity and access patterns across internal platforms

• Least-privilege role design and access segmentation

• RBAC and ABAC models for cloud and SaaS environments

• Centralized access models using Okta, AWS IAM Identity Center, Google Cloud IAM, and cloud-native IAM services

• Secure cross-account and cross-project access patterns

• Service account, workload identity, and non-human identity governance

• Zero Trust identity and access control design

Partner with engineering, infrastructure, and security teams to:

• Standardize secure identity and access patterns

• Reduce identity sprawl and excessive permissions

• Improve access visibility and auditability

• Build scalable identity controls for a fast-moving engineering environment

Own Terraform-Based IAM and Access Automation

• Own and improve Terraform-based IAM and access automation across Scopely’s cloud and identity environment.

Design, build, and maintain:

• Reusable Terraform modules for IAM roles, policies, permission sets, group mappings, and access patterns

• Terraform workflows for Okta app assignments, group-based access, and IAM Identity Center automation

• Standardized access modules that can be reused safely across teams and environments

• Policy-as-code patterns for least privilege and permission boundary enforcement

• Terraform-driven onboarding and offboarding flows for identity-related systems

• Automation for service account and workload identity provisioning

• Access reporting and audit visibility pipelines connected to code-based IAM workflows

Drive improvements in:

• Standardization of IAM modules, variables, role definitions, and policy structures

• Repeatability and consistency of access changes

• Reduction of manual IAM operations

• Auditability and change traceability

• Safe rollout of identity changes through code review and pull request workflows

Ensure mature Terraform engineering practices around:

• State management

• Drift detection and remediation

• Rollback planning

• Blast-radius awareness for IAM changes

• Safe promotion of access changes into production

Automate Identity and Access Workflows

• Build scalable automation for identity lifecycle management, access requests, entitlement changes, access reviews, and day-to-day IAM operations.

Design and implement:

• Provisioning and deprovisioning automation

• Access request and approval workflows

• Group-based access assignment and role mapping

• Okta app integration and assignment automation

• IAM Identity Center permission set automation

• Self-service identity workflows for internal teams

• Identity reporting and access visibility pipelines

• Operational tooling that reduces repetitive IAM work

Work with:

• Terraform and Infrastructure as Code workflows

• Python, Bash, PowerShell, and APIs

• CI/CD systems and Git-based change management

• Okta Workflows and similar orchestration tooling

• ServiceNow, ticketing, and operational workflow integrations

• AI tools such as Claude Code, Codex, and similar engineering assistants

• MCP-enabled integrations, agentic workflows, and internal automation platforms

Drive improvements in:

• Repeatability

• Auditability

• Operational safety

• Reduction of manual IAM work

• Secure-by-default access onboarding

Strengthen Identity Security and Risk Reduction

• Lead initiatives to reduce identity-related risk across human and non-human identities.

Design and implement controls for:

• Excessive permissions and privilege escalation reduction

• Service account and workload identity hardening

• Long-lived credential reduction

• Cross-account trust policy review and hardening

• Permission boundary enforcement

• Role lifecycle management

• Just-in-time and time-bound privileged access

• Break-glass access workflows

• Identity anomaly detection and misuse investigation

Use native and third-party tooling to identify and remediate risk, including:

• AWS IAM Access Analyzer

• CloudTrail

• GuardDuty

• GCP-native IAM and audit services

• Okta System Log and access reporting

• CIEM, CSPM, and related cloud security platforms

Improve Zero Trust and Privileged Access Security

• Partner with IAM, platform, and security teams to strengthen Zero Trust and privileged access controls across Scopely’s environment.

Support and enhance:

• Twingate connectors, resources, and access policy design

• Identity-aware remote access controls

• Zero Trust segmentation for internal applications and privileged systems

• Privileged access workflows

• PAM platform integrations such as Britive

• Adaptive access controls

• MFA and passwordless adoption…
