IAM ForgeRock Platform Engineer

• Programming & Frameworks: Python, Go (Golang), Java Spring Boot (facade architecture)


• Infrastructure & DevOps: Terraform, Linux server maintenance (VMs), Ansible

Job Description

• Develop and maintain Java-based customizations and extensions for ForgeRock products.


• Implement Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and federation solutions.


• Design and implement user lifecycle management and provisioning workflows.
