The Team: 

The IAM Team is a net-new, vanguard group that will own, implement, and drive DRW’s comprehensive identity capabilities, aligning them to evolving business requirements. This dedicated group collaborates with stakeholders to advance agentic identity, enhanced authentication and authorization controls, and other emerging identity and security innovations, with potential expansion into customer identity and access management (CIAM).

The role focuses on SSO, federation, MFA, and secure access management. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Own, implement, and operate end-to-end enterprise authentication and federation solutions; drive architecture reviews and collaborate to influence design decisions, ensuring security, compliance, availability, and performance. 

• Implement, configure, and support SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), LDAP, and JWT‑based integrations. 

• Integrate identity solutions with enterprise, third‑party applications, APIs, SaaS platforms, and custom web/mobile apps, including SSO, provisioning (SCIM/API), and secure API authentication. 

• Implement MFA, adaptive authentication, fine‑grained access policies, and authorization models that meet security standards.
