Key Requirements & Experience

• 
  

  Total Experience: 10+ years in enterprise identity, cloud security, and IAM architecture/implementation.

  
  


• 
  

  Cloud Platform Expertise: Extensive hands-on OCI IAM implementation experience required. Familiarity with multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) is highly desirable.

  
  


• 
  

  Protocols & Standards: Deep knowledge of SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, LDAP, and REST APIs.
