The opportunity

As part of the Identity and Access Management (IAM) organization, the Frontier AI - IAM Automation Engineer will design, develop, engineer and advance secure, scalable automation and Agentic AI capabilities across enterprise, cloud and hybrid environments. The role combines deep IAM expertise with software engineering and emerging AI technologies to modernize authentication, federation, authorization and related IAM processes.

The Engineer will develop Agentic AI-driven automation across Microsoft Entra ID, Agent ID, M365, workload identities, federated credentials, session and token protection, and secrets and certificate-based authentication. This includes integrating AI agents with IAM platforms, APIs, security controls and enterprise workflows while establishing reusable patterns and guardrails for security, auditability, reliability and operational control.

Working with Architecture, Product, Operations, application teams, Security and vendors, the Engineer will translate complex requirements into secure, supportable solutions aligned with IAM standards and EY’s global technology and security strategies. The individual will provide technical leadership from design through production and operational handover, mentor engineers, and promote engineering quality and leading practices.

Your key responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of complex IAM automation and Agentic AI solutions using Azure Automation, Logic Apps, Functions, Power Platform, Ansible, Azure CLI, ARM templates, Copilot Studio and Foundry, together with PowerShell, Python, NodeJS, ReactJS and .NET.
• Architect AI-augmented IAM capabilities, including multi-agent workflows, orchestration patterns, adaptive access control, predictive threat detection, identity analytics and intelligent workflow automation.
• Establish reusable frameworks, engineering standards and guardrails for scalable, resilient, maintainable, observable, secure and operationally supportable IAM automation and AI capabilities.
• Provide technical leadership across Microsoft Entra ID, M365, workload identities, federated credentials, authentication, authorization, session management, token protection, certificates and secrets management.
• Design secure integrations using REST APIs, Microsoft Graph API, Model Context Protocol (MCP) and related standards, with appropriate identity, authorization and security controls for AI agents, applications and workloads.
• Apply Zero Trust and least-privilege principles to machine-to-machine and agent-to-service interactions, including secure credential, certificate and secrets management.
• Automate IAM security, compliance and audit controls and establish logging, monitoring, alerting and incident-response integrations using Azure Monitor, Microsoft Sentinel or comparable platforms.
• Design and maintain secure CI/CD, DevSecOps and Infrastructure as Code patterns using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Terraform, ARM templates or equivalent technologies, with appropriate testing and deployment controls.
• Conduct architecture, technical design and code reviews; guide engineers on IAM, automation, software engineering, DevSecOps and Agentic AI implementation practices.
• Serve as the technical escalation point for complex IAM automation and AI issues, leading root-cause analysis and working with engineering, architecture and vendors such as Microsoft, Ping and Auth0 to resolve systemic problems.
• Advise internal clients on applying Agentic AI to IAM processes to improve automation, security, user experience and operational efficiency while reducing risk.
• Evaluate emerging AI, identity and automation technologies through prototypes and reusable patterns, assessing design alternatives, technical trade-offs and architectural, security or operational risks.
• Plan and lead delivery across development, testing and production, ensuring appropriate documentation, monitoring, support models, operational readiness and successful transition to operations.
• Build trusted stakeholder relationships, translate business and security requirements into practical solutions, identify dependencies and risks early, and mentor engineers through knowledge sharing, technical standards and leading practices.

Skills and attributes for success

• Strong IAM engineering expertise across authentication, authorization, federation, MFA, SSO, identity lifecycle management, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML and Zero Trust.
• Advanced hands-on experience with Microsoft Entra ID, including application, workload and non-human identities, federated credentials, service principals, managed identities, least privilege and credential management.
• Advanced enterprise automation experience using Azure Automation, Logic Apps, Azure Functions, Power Platform, Ansible and Azure CLI, with the ability to create scalable, reusable automation solutions.
• Strong knowledge and hands-on experience with Agentic AI architectures and AI/ML solutions, including multi-agent systems, LLM orchestration, tool-enabled agents, human-in-the-loop patterns, AI security and applications within IAM, cybersecurity or enterprise automation.
• Experience designing integrations using Model Context Protocol (MCP), REST APIs, JSON, OAuth/OIDC and Microsoft Graph API or equivalent orchestration and tool-integration standards.
• Strong software engineering and scripting skills in one or more technologies such as Python, PowerShell, NodeJS, ReactJS, .NET, Bash or Ruby.
• Experience securing secrets, keys and certificates with Azure Key Vault, CyberArk or comparable platforms, combined with observability, threat detection, monitoring and incident-response integration using Microsoft Sentinel or similar services.
• Advanced experience with Infrastructure as Code, DevSecOps and CI/CD using Terraform, ARM templates, CloudFormation, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins or GitLab CI, including secure code, credential and deployment controls.
• Ability to design secure, scalable, available, resilient, maintainable and supportable solutions, with strong troubleshooting and root-cause-analysis skills across IAM, cloud, automation, containers and application integrations.
• Strong technical leadership, mentoring, documentation and stakeholder-management skills, with knowledge of secure SDLC, ITSM, Change Management, production support and operational readiness while remaining a hands-on engineer.

To qualify for the role, you must have

• Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• 7+ years of relevant technology experience, including substantial experience in IAM, authentication engineering, access management, security engineering or enterprise identity platforms.
• 4+ years of hands-on cloud automation or software engineering experience using scripting, APIs, DevOps and Infrastructure as Code, including enterprise-scale IAM automation across cloud, hybrid or distributed environments.
• Around 2 years of hands-on experience developing, integrating or deploying AI/ML, Generative AI or Agentic AI solutions, preferably within IAM, cybersecurity, cloud or enterprise automation.
• Demonstrated experience with enterprise authentication, authorization, identity protocols and access management solutions.
• Experience leading technical design and implementation through development, testing, production deployment and operational transition, including architecture documentation and resolution of complex cross-technology issues.
