• Automate identity lifecycle processes (provisioning, deprovisioning, role transitions) using PowerShell, Microsoft Graph, and Entra ID Governance.
• Integrate third-party applications with Entra ID using SAML, OAuth2, and OpenID Connect protocols.
• Monitor and troubleshoot authentication flows, device join states, token issuance (PRT), and MFA challenges.
• Administer and support IAM components, including SSO, MFA, conditional access, and self-service password reset.
• Manage user lifecycle operations (Joiner-Mover-Leaver) across AD, Entra ID, and Okta, ensuring accurate role-based access.
• Provide production-level support for Active Directory infrastructure, including domain controllers, replication, trust relationships, and GPOs.
• Design and maintain automation scripts (PowerShell, Python, Bash) for bulk provisioning, reporting, and account cleanup.
• Collaborate with security and compliance teams to enforce least privilege, RBAC, and Just-In-Time access models.
• Monitor IAM systems for performance issues, outages, and anomalies, and respond swiftly to incidents.
• Collaborate with IT and helpdesk teams to resolve authentication and access-related issues.
