Our take: The real work here is turning identity and AI access from click-ops into peer-reviewed, tested code while inventing governance for a world of human and non-human identities.
If you light up at turning click-ops into peer-reviewed code, this is a role where configuration becomes tested Python and Terraform running on real infrastructure. You will get to invent governance for AI agents and non-human identities before the playbook exists, and lead the migration of Okta, cloud orgs, and enterprise AI access to something clean and defensible. It suits a hands-on practitioner who wants strategic weight without leaving the keyboard.
