IAM Solutions Architect
About the role
The Role Palyrian's immediate need is for IAM Solutions Architects to lead non-human identity (NHI) program builds for enterprise clients. Machine identities, workloads, service accounts, API credentials, and now AI agents have quietly outgrown the controls that were designed for people. Very few organizations have a dedicated NHI program today. That is changing fast, and Palyrian is being pulled into the build. We are not expecting you to have run an NHI program already. The space is too new for that to be a fair filter. We are looking for strong solutions architects from adjacent identity domains (IGA, PAM, IDP/AuthN) who are already doing this job somewhere else in the identity stack. You would be doing the same work in a newer domain, and Palyrian provides the NHI and platform-specific enablement to get you there. Alongside the NHI work you will architect on SailPoint engagements (IdentityIQ and Identity Security Cloud), which remain a core part of the practice. Breadth is the point here: we are looking for architects who want to touch more than one platform, not fewer.
Responsibilities
- Discover and inventory the non-human identity estate: what exists across the enterprise, where it lives, what it is used for, who owns it, and how it authenticates.
- Define NHI reference architecture covering the full lifecycle — creation, ownership, credential and secret management, rotation, attestation, and decommissioning.
- Work fluently across the three classes of identity (workforce, customer, non-human)
