Job Description
Sr. Systems Engineer JD-
SYSTEMS ENGINEER: (DLA ICAM Engineer, OIM Engineer) x16
· The Systems Engineer role will be highly hands-on, assessing each application's current authentication, identity structure, technical dependencies, and appropriate ICAM integration pattern. The work includes inventorying applications, categorizing them, and creating migration runbooks.
· Role is expected to be very hands-on.
· Limited opportunity for support-only or supervisory candidates because of the compressed timeline and technical complexity.
· Primary responsibilities:
o Work directly with application teams.
o Assess applications from an ICAM/identity perspective.
o Understand existing authentication methods.
o Understand the application's identity structure.
o Determine the appropriate ICAM integration pattern.
o Support application onboarding/integration.
o Troubleshoot authentication and integration issues.
· Approximately 400 applications are currently associated with the existing identity management environment.
· Complete inventory of applications and complexity is still being developed.
· Engineer will help assess and categorize applications and develop migration approaches/runbooks.
· This is both an assessment and implementation/integration role.
· Technical Background:
o Strong identity fundamentals are important.
o SAML is a top-priority skill.
o Experience with:
§ SAML
§ OIDC
§ OAuth
§ SSO
§ Authentication troubleshooting
§ Attributes/groups
§ API connectors
§ Application integration
§ Testing/support
· Current environment involves migration from a DLA system toward a DISA environment.
· Okta is the anticipated end-state platform, although some legacy applications may not be capable of being migrated to Okta.
· Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) experience is useful but not necessarily an absolute requirement if the candidate has strong transferable identity/IAM skills.
· Strong tool-agnostic IAM fundamentals can be considered.
· Ideal Candidate Profile:
o Someone who can effectively say:
o "I've onboarded applications to an SSO platform.”
o "I've worked with SAML/OIDC.”
o "I've diagnosed authentication failures.”
o "I've worked with attributes and groups.”
o "I've worked with API connectors.”
o "I've supported integration testing.”
· Hands-on identity engineering experience is more important than simply having experience with a particular tool.
· FULLY REMOTE - might need to travel to Fort Belvoir, VA occasionally but not frequent and client will cover travel

This is a unique initiative with a compressed timeline, requiring all positions to be onboarded and operational by October 1st.
· The program will support the transition from an existing DLA identity management platform to a DISA-managed environment, requiring extensive application assessments, authentication modernization, and integration planning. Team members will play a hands-on role in evaluating current application architectures, determining migration strategies, and implementing identity and access solutions.
Key Responsibilities:
· Conduct assessments of applications currently supported within the IDAM environment
· Collaborate with application owners to inventory and evaluate existing authentication structures
· Define and implement appropriate identity integration patterns
· Support workflow integration and migration activities
· Develop specifications, checklists, and migration approaches for various application categories
· Support SAML-based integrations and migration efforts into Okta
· Configure and manage attributes, roles, and group structures
· Provide hands-on engineering support throughout implementation and transition activities
· Contribute to strategic architecture and design decisions for the future environment
Technical Environment:
· Migration of approximately 400 applications currently managed within the legacy IDAM platform
· Transition from DLA systems to DISA systems
· SAML authentication and Okta integration
· Identity governance, access management, and application onboarding
· Hands-on engineering and implementation focus
Team Structure:
· Personnel will work in highly structured teams of eight
· Collaborative delivery model focused on execution, assessment, migration, and integration outcomes
Program Highlights:
· Large-scale enterprise modernization initiative
· 124 applications targeted for implementation/migration
· 64 immediate hiring opportunities
· Highly technical, hands-on engineering work
· Opportunity to support a critical DLA-to-DISA transition
· Fast-paced environment with significant impact and visibility
