About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Identity Security Technical Architect to join our team remotely. In this role, you will define, design, and govern enterprise-scale identity security architectures for Templar Shield clients.

• Own the end-to-end architecture for enterprise identity security programs, including identity governance, authorization visibility, and access analytics.
• Define identity security strategies integrating ServiceNow, Veza, and adjacent cybersecurity platforms.
• Design authorization graph architectures mapping assigned versus effective access, transitive permissions, and privilege inheritance.
• Establish governance frameworks covering human identities, non-human identities, service accounts, APIs, machine identities, and AI agent identities.
• Ensure identity architectures align with zero trust, least privilege, and secure-by-design principles.
• Architect ServiceNow-based identity security solutions integrated with CMDB, IRM, SecOps, ITSM, and external identity platforms.
• Define integration architectures connecting authorization visibility platforms with ServiceNow CMDB, IRM, and SecOps workflows.
• Design identity security architectures that support exposure management, vulnerability management, and security operations use cases.

Requirements

• 8–10+ years of experience in Identity and Access Management (IAM), identity security, or cybersecurity architecture roles.
• Demonstrated experience designing and governing enterprise-scale identity security architectures.
• Deep experience with identity governance platforms and authorization visibility solutions (e.g., Veza, SailPoint, Saviynt, Clear Skye, Okta, Microsoft Entra).
• Strong experience integrating identity platforms across cloud, SaaS, and hybrid enterprise environments.
• Hands-on experience with ServiceNow architecture, including CMDB, IRM, SecOps, and platform integration patterns.
• Proficiency with REST APIs, identity federation standards (SAML, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SCIM), and integration design patterns.
• ServiceNow Certified Technical Architect (CTA) or strong progress toward CTA.
• Excellent consulting, analytical, and executive-facing communication skills.

Nice to Have

• Experience with graph-based authorization models and transitive access analysis.
• Experience with ServiceNow IRM and SecOps Modules.
• CISSP, CISM, or other relevant security certifications.
