Job description
from Adobe careersAbout the Team & Mission
The team focus is Identity Architecture & Solutions, where we craft, build, and operationalize scalable identity and SaaS security capabilities across the enterprise. This role is technical within the organization and depends on team members that are passionate about Identity & SaaS Security functions, identity architecture strategy, and working as an encouraging, cohesive group. As an organization, we collaborate on driving measurable reductions of identity-centric risk where each team member is critical to delivering security value and outcomes.
The Challenge
- Engineer and deploy Zero‑Trust access controls across workforce and service identities. Within the team, implement controls using RBAC and ABAC standards. Including device and posture checks and risk‑adaptive policies for critical services and high-risk scenarios.
- Harden privileged access and migrate administrators to right‑size entitlements and eliminate long‑lived elevated access across prioritized services.
- Implement SaaS security posture controls by participating reviews and deployments; defining baselines for M365/Slack/GitHub/Workday/Google; building remediation runbooks and posture success measurements.
- Instrument identity metrics collection and tracking as prioritized by the leadership team. Including capturing authentication (AuthN)/authorization (AuthZ) and entitlement changes; publishing dashboards for privilege drift, misconfigurations, and access sprawl; coordinating risky events to security alert procedures.
- Participation in architecture & standards implementation guides and reference architecture. Including how adherence reduces risk reduction over time.
