• Integrate and optimize identity pipelines and API connectors across Google Workspace, Slack Enterprise, ServiceNow, and Microsoft Entra ID
• Configure SSO integrations using SAML 2.0 and OIDC, and enforce adaptive MFA, Okta FastPass, device trust, and zero-trust security policies
• Resolve Tier 2/3 escalations for identity anomalies, sync failures, workflow bugs, and third-party SaaS federation issues
• Support audits by monitoring Okta System Logs, assisting with access recertifications, and producing reports aligned to SOC 2 and ISO 27001
• Partner with leaders and employees at our East Coast offices, delivering professional, responsive support
• Maintain architecture diagrams, API schemas, integration runbooks, and escalation procedures
