Accrete is a dynamic and innovative company focused on transforming the future of artificial intelligence. We specialize in creating advanced AI solutions that turn complex data into actionable insights, driving real-world impact for businesses and government organizations. Our team thrives on creativity and collaboration, working together to push the boundaries of AI technology.

At the core of our offerings are our AI agents, designed to autonomously analyze data, generate insights, and make intelligent recommendations. These agents help businesses streamline operations, improve decision-making, and also empower government entities to enhance security, intelligence, and operational efficiency

About The Role

Accrete is building AI systems for high-stakes national security and enterprise use cases. As we pursue FedRAMP certification, strengthening our identity and access controls is a top priority.

We are seeking an Identity Engineer to design and implement a modern, least-privilege Identity and Access Management (IAM) program across our cloud infrastructure, internal tools, and development environments. This role will be hands-on and foundational—turning our IAM plan into reality and materially reducing identity compromise and insider threat risk.

You’ll work closely with our CISO, Principal Engineer, and Platform team to move us from broad, role-based access toward fine-grained, auditable, and policy-driven access controls aligned with federal security requirements.

What You’ll Do

Implement and operationalize Accrete’s IAM strategy and roadmap, with a focus on least privilege and zero trust principles
Design and deploy fine-grained access controls across:
- Cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure
- Developer environments and CI/CD pipelines
- Internal tools and SaaS applications
Break down overly broad role-based access into scoped, auditable permissions
Own identity lifecycle management (joiner/mover/leaver workflows)
Integrate IAM with logging, monitoring, and security tooling to support audits and incident response
Partner with engineering to embed IAM controls into infrastructure-as-code and deployment workflows
Support FedRAMP readiness and compliance, including documentation, evidence collection, and control implementation
Serve as a subject-matter expert on identity risk, access design, and secure authentication practices

What We’re Looking For

3–6+ years of experience in Identity & Access Management, Security Engineering, or Cloud Platform Engineering with deep IAM ownership
Strong hands-on experience with IAM systems such as:
- AWS IAM, Azure AD / Entra ID, Okta, Auth0, Ping, or similar
Experience designing and enforcing least-privilege access models at scale
Familiarity with identity protocols and standards (SSO, SAML, OIDC, OAuth, MFA) Experience integrating IAM into CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, and SaaS ecosystems
Comfort working in environments with compliance requirements (FedRAMP, SOC 2, NIST 800-53, etc.)
Ability to work independently and drive implementation—not just design

Nice to Have

Direct experience supporting FedRAMP or other federal compliance programs
Infrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi) Background in security monitoring, detection, or insider threat programs

Why This Role Matters

Identity compromise and insider threats represent our most significant security risks. This role directly addresses that risk by ensuring the right people have the right access—no more, no less—while enabling Accrete to meet federal security standards without slowing engineering velocity.

If you want to build identity systems that actually matter, this role is foundational to Accrete’s security posture and long-term success.
