They’re looking for a skilled IAM Developer to join their team on a 6-month contract​. This is a chance to work fully remote on mission-critical identity and access management solutions that directly strengthen cybersecurity for a large-scale environment.
If you​ are passionate about secure application design, authentication protocols, and cutting-edge IAM technologies, this role offers the perfect blend of technical depth, innovation, and flexibility.

What You​ will do:

As the IAM Developer, you’ll play a hands-on role in designing, developing, and securing applications and APIs that enable reliable authentication and authorization flows. You will:

• Lead the implementation and integration of IAM solutions, including IBM Verify.
• Design and build scalable, secure backend applications leveraging OIDC and/or SAML.
• Develop and secure APIs with a focus on authentication, authorization, and zero-trust principles.
