About the job
About the role
In Samsara's Business Technology Core IT team, you will own the technology and processes that enable our people to do their best work. As a Sr. IT Engineer on the Identity & Access Management team, you will be a technical owner for Samsara's identity infrastructure — including Okta, Google Workspace, and our Workato-based automation platform (OWL-IT). You will drive strategic initiatives, ensure platform availability and compliance, and directly contribute to reducing IT toil through automation and engineering excellence. You will also act as a subject matter expert for StateRAMP/FedRAMP controls and serve as Tier 3 escalation support for the team's most complex and sensitive requests.
In this role, you will
- Own, maintain, and optimize Samsara's Okta environments (commercial and StateRAMP/FedRAMP), including SSO integrations, group management, Okta Workflows automation, and access policy governance.
- Design, build, and support integrations and automations using Workato, including ownership of the OWL-IT IT Genie platform — Samsara's AI-powered IT service delivery and provisioning system.
- Administer and support Google Workspace, including Marketplace app management, group and OU configuration, offboarding automation, and service account governance.
- Lead and contribute to Identity & Access Management initiatives including birthright provisioning, role-based access controls, Saviynt RBAC, and access lifecycle automation.
- Be the primary IT engineering SME for StateRAMP/FedRAMP IT controls — scoping, implementing, documenting, and gathering evidence to satisfy compliance requirements.
- Provide Tier 3 escalation support for complex, sensitive, and security-related IT incidents, including SCIM, provisioning failures, and authentication issues across identity-integrated systems.
- Build and maintain clear documentation including runbooks, architecture diagrams, access policies, and business process flows in Confluence.
- Partner with Security, GRC, and cross-functional IT teams to strengthen the security posture of Samsara's identity and access management infrastructure.
- Research, assess, and incorporate new vendors and technologies into the IT stack, including evaluating automation opportunities with tools like Workato One, Vertex AI, and Gemini Enterprise.
- Mentor teammates and help elevate the technical capabilities of the broader IT Engineering team.
Minimum requirements
- A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
- 5+ years of experience in an IT Systems Engineering role with a minimum of 3+ years of hands-on experience with Okta, including SSO configuration, provisioning, group rules, Okta Workflows, and ITGC/SOX-compliant access controls.
- Demonstrated experience building and maintaining automation using Workato or similar iPaaS platforms.
- Proficiency working with REST APIs (Python preferred) for integration and automation development.
- Demonstrated experience administering Google Workspace.
- Experience implementing and supporting an Identity & Access Management solution in a corporate environment.
- Solid fundamentals in IT security, corporate systems, and compliance, with experience contributing to audit-ready processes and controls documentation.
- Ability to work cross-functionally and lead technical work autonomously across functions and with stakeholders at all levels.
Ideal candidate also has
- Hands-on experience with an IGA/PAM platform.
- Experience supporting StateRAMP, FedRAMP, or SOX IT General Controls (ITGCs) in a fast-moving environment.
- Expertise building complex Workflows for automating complex IT Operations Processes.
- Google Apps Manager (GAM) Experience.
- Demonstrated experience with Workato Connector SDK or building custom connectors.
- Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Splunk, or Terraform for infrastructure automation and observability.
- Experience with SCIM provisioning patterns and troubleshooting across enterprise SaaS applications.
- Ability to build Splunk dashboards and alerts for operationalizing integrations and monitoring identity events.
