This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Principal Cybersecurity Engineer (Identity & Access Management) in India.

This is a senior strategic cybersecurity role focused on shaping enterprise-wide Identity and Access Management (IAM) vision, architecture, and governance. You will act as the key authority defining how identity security is designed, standardized, and evolved across a complex global organization. Rather than operational execution, this position focuses on long-term IAM strategy, risk management, and architectural leadership aligned with Zero Trust principles. You will influence executive decision-making, security investments, and enterprise priorities while ensuring identity frameworks are scalable, consistent, and future-ready. The role operates at the intersection of cybersecurity, architecture, compliance, and business leadership, requiring strong cross-functional influence across global teams. This is a high-impact opportunity to define how identity security is implemented and governed at enterprise scale.

Accountabilities

You will define and own the enterprise IAM governance and architecture strategy, ensuring alignment with Zero Trust principles and business objectives.
You will establish multi-year IAM roadmaps, prioritizing initiatives and influencing security investments across the organization.
You will design enterprise identity reference architectures, standards, and guardrails for workforce, application, and privileged identities.
You will act as the final authority for identity-related architecture decisions, including authentication, authorization, and access models.
You will define and enforce IAM policies, governance frameworks, and access control standards across all platforms.
You will oversee access governance practices, including certification processes, exceptions handling, and identity lifecycle management.
You will establish IAM risk metrics, maturity models, and drive remediation of systemic identity security gaps.
You will collaborate with senior stakeholders across IT, Security, Compliance, HR, and Engineering to align identity strategy with enterprise needs.
You will evaluate IAM, IGA, and PAM technologies from a strategic standpoint and define adoption criteria.
You will support audits and regulatory engagements by providing executive-level IAM risk and control insights.

Requirements

You should bring strong experience in cybersecurity architecture with a deep specialization in identity security governance, risk management, and enterprise-scale IAM transformation. This role requires strong strategic thinking combined with the ability to influence senior stakeholders in complex global environments.

You have 6-8 years of experience in cybersecurity, identity security, or security architecture roles.
You have deep expertise in IAM governance, enterprise identity architecture, and access risk management.
You have experience leading or contributing to large-scale IAM transformation or enterprise security initiatives.
You understand Zero Trust architecture principles, RBAC/ABAC models, identity lifecycle management, and privileged access governance.
You have experience influencing security architecture decisions across large, complex organizations.
You are skilled in stakeholder management and executive-level communication.
You have experience working with IAM ecosystems such as Entra ID, Okta, SailPoint, or CyberArk (preferred).
You ideally have exposure to regulated industries or enterprise security environments.
Certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, SABSA, or IAM-focused credentials are a plus.
