Corporate Vice President - IAM Engineer
Job Description
Location Designation:Hybrid - 3 days per quarter
As part of Technology, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking initiatives that shape New York Life's digital landscape. Leverage cutting-edge technologies like Generative AI to increase productivity, streamline processes, and create seamless experiences for clients, agents, and employees. Your expertise fuels innovation, agility, and growth - driving the company's success
Role Overview:
The IAM Engineer will play a key role in designing, engineering, and maintaining NYL's Identity & Access Management solutions across all IAM domains: Identity Governance & Administration (IGA), Privileged Access Management (PAM), Directory Services, and Web Access Management (WAM). This role blends hands-on engineering with solution architecture, ensuring IAM capabilities are robust, scalable, secure, and aligned with enterprise standards.
As NYL moves toward an AI-enabled enterprise, the IAM Engineer will also help adapt identity services to meet a new class of challenges: managing non-human identities at scale, securing AI models and agents as first-class identities, governing access to sensitive data fueling AI, and defending against AI-driven fraud and abuse. The successful candidate will be curious, adaptable, and ready to evolve IAM for a future where identity is the foundation of both human and machine trust.
What You'll Do:
* Engineer, configure, and maintain IAM solutions across IGA, PAM, Directory, and WAM domains.
* Collaborate with architecture teams to design IAM solutions that integrate securely with on-premises and cloud applications (AWS, SaaS, hybrid models).
* Develop and maintain workflows, connectors, policies, and scripts to automate identity lifecycle and access management processes.
* Integrate IAM solutions with enterprise authentication and authorization frameworks, including MFA, password less authentication, and emerging NHI standards (e.g., SPIFFE, DCR, PKCE).
* Partner with Information Security, Application, and Infrastructure teams to ensure IAM solutions meet security, compliance, and audit requirements.
* Troubleshoot and resolve complex IAM-related incidents, performance issues, and integration challenges.
* Support roadmap delivery for IAM initiatives, including cloud adoption, Zero Trust enablement, and modernization of legacy IAM services.
* Contribute to solution design reviews, platform upgrades, and security hardening initiatives.
What You'll Bring:
* Identity Threat Defense: Engineer IAM controls to mitigate AI-driven risks, including synthetic identity creation, credential-stuffing with AI automation, deepfake impersonation in identity proofing, and adaptive MFA bypasses.
* AI/ML Integration: Design and deploy AI/ML-driven capabilities for anomaly detection, risk scoring, intelligent access certification, and adaptive authentication.
* Non-Human Identity (NHI) Management: Build lifecycle governance for service accounts, APIs, bots, and autonomous AI agents; implement just-in-time provisioning and least-privilege enforcement.
* AI Model & Agent Governance: Treat AI models and agents as privileged entities; engineer role-based and attribute-based controls for who (or what) can invoke, train, or query AI models.
* Data Access for AI: Integrate IAM with data governance frameworks to enforce fine-grained entitlements for datasets feeding AI/ML pipelines, ensuring regulatory compliance (e.g., privacy, explainability).
* Trust Frameworks: Participate in defining federated trust models for AI ecosystems (e.g., cross-enterprise identity assertions, machine-to-machine federation, attestations for AI supply chains).
* Automation at Scale: Build automation scripts (Python, PowerShell, Java) to integrate IAM with AI operations and security orchestration platforms.
* Continuous Innovation: Stay engaged with emerging standards (e.g., FIDO2 passkeys, verifiable credentials, decentralized identity, AI transparency frameworks) and introduce concepts to strengthen IAM's role in AI risk management.
