## About this role.

AI SummaryCision is hiring an IAM Security Engineer to design, implement, and operate identity and access management capabilities across its global environment. The role centers on Okta, including SSO, MFA, Universal Directory, lifecycle management, RBAC, SCIM provisioning, and integrations with Azure AD, AWS IAM, Active Directory, and third-party applications. The engineer will support compliance and audit work, investigate IAM security incidents, and contribute to the broader IAM roadmap. This is a remote Hungary-based full-time role requiring 3–5 years of IAM or related security experience and occasional availability for urgent after-hours incident response. Candidates should be ready to demonstrate relevant technical skills in a screen-shared practical exercise.

Sample interview questionsHow would you design a joiner, mover, leaver process using Okta?I would define authoritative HR attributes and event triggers, map them to Okta Universal Directory profiles, and automate account creation, group assignment, application provisioning, and deprovisioning through lifecycle management and SCIM where supported. I would apply role-based access rules, include approval paths for elevated access, and regularly validate that termination events promptly revoke sessions, factors, tokens, and downstream access.

Describe how SAML and OIDC differ and when you would use each protocol.

SAML is an XML-based federation standard commonly used for browser-based enterprise SSO to SaaS applications. OIDC is an identity layer built on OAuth 2.0 that uses JSON tokens and is often better suited to modern web, mobile, and API-centric applications. I select the protocol based on the application's supported standards, architecture, token requirements, and security controls.

How would you investigate a suspected IAM-related security incident in Okta?

I would first preserve and review Okta System Log events, focusing on sign-ins, MFA changes, factor enrollments, administrative actions, policy changes, application assignments, and anomalous session activity. I would correlate those events with endpoint, SIEM, directory, cloud, and application logs; contain the issue by revoking sessions or disabling affected accounts; then remediate the root cause and document lessons learned.

What controls would you implement to enforce least privilege in a multi-cloud environment?

I would use centrally governed roles and groups, attribute-driven access where appropriate, just-in-time elevation for privileged work, periodic access recertification, and automated removal of stale entitlements. I would integrate Okta with cloud IAM platforms, ensure privileged accounts have strong MFA and logging, and monitor for excessive permissions, orphaned accounts, and policy exceptions.

How have you used scripting or APIs to improve IAM operations?

I use PowerShell or Python with APIs to automate repetitive activities such as account audits, group membership reviews, application assignment checks, bulk remediation, and reporting. I build scripts with secure credential handling, input validation, idempotent behavior, logging, error handling, and a testing process so automation improves both speed and control quality.
