Drive improvements in: Repeatability Auditability Operational safety Reduction of manual IAM work Secure-by-default access onboarding

Strengthen Identity Security and Risk Reduction
Lead initiatives to reduce identity-related risk across human and non-human identities.
Design and implement controls for:
Excessive permissions and privilege escalation reduction Service account and workload identity hardening Long-lived credential reduction Cross-account trust policy review and hardening Permission boundary enforcement Role lifecycle management Just-in-time and time-bound privileged access Break‑glass access workflows Identity anomaly detection and misuse investigation
Use native and third‑party tooling to identify and remediate risk, including:

AWS IAM Access Analyzer Cloud Trail Guard DutyGCP‑native IAM and audit services Okta System Log and access reportingCIEM, CSPM, and related cloud security platforms

Support and enhance:
Twingate connectors, resources, and access policy design Identity‑aware remote access controls Zero Trust segmentation for internal applications and privileged systems Privileged access workflowsPAM platform integrations such as Britive Adaptive access controlsMFA and passwordless adoption Federated access into AWS,



GCP, SaaS platforms, and internal tools Secure vendor and contractor access patterns
Drive improvements in:

Human identity security Non‑human identity security Access visibility Privileged session control Access policy consistency across environments

Support Identity Investigations, Monitoring, and Audit Readiness

Partner with Security Operations, Compliance, and Infrastructure teams to improve identity monitoring, investigation, and audit readiness.
Build and enhance:
IAM troubleshooting runbooks Identity-related detection and triage workflows Access review processes Permission reporting and evidence collectionIAM logging and monitoring design Operational metrics for identity security maturity
Support investigations involving:
Suspicious access activity Identity and permission abuse Misconfigured app integrations Broken federation and provisioning flows Risky SaaS integrations Service account misuse Cross‑account access issues
Collaborate with compliance and audit stakeholders to ensure:

SOC 2 and ISO 27001 alignment Access review evidence readiness Documentation of IAM controls and workflows Clear traceability for privileged access and entitlement changes

Build AI‑Assisted Identity Security Workflows
Design and improve AI‑assisted and automation‑first workflows that help Scopely scale identity security safely.
Lead initiatives around:
AI‑assisted access review analysisAI‑assisted troubleshooting and documentation support Intelligent triage for identity‑related findings Security chatops integrations Identity workflow automation using agents and orchestration systems Internal copilots for IAM operations and knowledge supportAI‑assisted recommendations for access hygiene and remediationMCP‑enabled identity tooling and integrations
Work with:
Claude Code, Codex, and similar AI‑assisted engineering toolsMCP‑based workflows and agentic automation patterns Internal automation platforms and workflow enginesAPIs, event‑driven automation, and identity telemetry pipelines
