Senior Identity Access Management Engineer

About the role

Roku is seeking a senior-level Identity Engineer to enhance its Zero-Trust architecture, drive standardization initiatives, and optimize its Microsoft-centric identity platform for a geographically distributed workforce. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience in identity and access management (IAM) and securing cloud environments within the Microsoft ecosystem, with deep expertise in Azure Entra ID. Equally important is a strong automation mindset—designing, scripting, and building repeatable workflows.

• Drive automation across IAM to streamline administration and deliver a smoother user experience.

• Enhance privileged access management and implement scalable monitoring, alerting, and auditability solutions to support a secure, geographically distributed workforce.
• Collaborate with IT, Networking, and Security teams to troubleshoot identity-related issues and support global infrastructure initiatives.
• Advance Zero Trust Identity Fabric principles like continuous verification, least-privilege access, and identity-aware policy enforcement across users, devices, workloads, and non-human identities.
• Build identity automation with a DevOps mindset, writing scripts, developing pipelines, and engineering tooling from scratch rather than just configuring them.

Requirements

• 8+ years of hands-on experience with identity and access management and automating cloud technologies, particularly within the Microsoft ecosystem.
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail, with the ability to troubleshoot complex infrastructure and identity-related issues.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Automation and scripting skills using PowerShell, Azure CLI, and Microsoft Graph API; working knowledge of Azure services such as Function Apps and Logic Apps.
• Experience in onboarding and managing enterprise applications in Azure Entra ID.
• Advanced knowledge of Azure Single Sign-On (SSO) login methods, including OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and SAML, and their integration with enterprise applications.
• Knowledge of privileged access tools (Azure PIM, CyberArk, etc), secrets management (HashiCorp or Azure Key Vault), and workload identity patterns SPIFEE & SPIRE.
• Good to have familiarity with Microsoft Purview for DLP and data classification.
• Strong understanding of multi-factor authentication and FIDO2.
• Familiarity with IT security frameworks and compliance standards.
• Knowledge of logging, monitoring, and alerting practices for identity and access events.
• Basic understanding of email security and DNS.
