## About the role

As a Senior IAM Engineer on the Security team, you will set the standard for identity and access across Verkada, owning how access is defined, granted, reviewed, and revoked throughout our infrastructure. From codifying identity boundaries in Terraform and Rego to driving least privilege across AWS roles and policies on zero trust principles, your work will turn access management from a manual ticket queue into a self-service system powered by scripts and agentic workflows.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree or equivalent practical experience
- 3+ years working hands-on with identity and access management in a cloud-native engineering environment
- Deep AWS IAM expertise: policy evaluation logic, permission boundaries, assume-role patterns, SCPs, and the ways they fail in practice and how to express them in Terraform
- Ability to build automation for your own work, using either scripting or low-code/no-code orchestration platforms, including LLM or agent-driven steps
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills — you can explain an access decision to an engineer, an auditor, and an executive
