Job Description
R-00178997
Description
Leidos is seeking a highly skilled Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) Engineer to join the Zero Trust execution team at U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). In a Zero Trust architecture, identity is the new perimeter, and this role is responsible for building and maintaining the "source of truth" that governs access to the Command's most critical data.
As the IGA Engineer, you will lead the implementation and configuration of SailPoint across the NIPR, SIPR, and Top-Secret networks. You will move beyond basic account provisioning to implement a sophisticated Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) model. You will be responsible for defining and managing the lifecycle of "Trust Attributes" (such as clearance level, training status, and job role) that are consumed by downstream enforcement tools like Microsoft Purview and Kiteworks. Your work ensures that when a user’s status changes, their access to sensitive data is updated instantly—even in air-gapped environments
