North Point Technology is looking to hire an ICAM Architect to support a significant modernization effort transitioning legacy Identity, Credentialing, and Access Management (ICAM) capabilities to modern on-premises and cloud-ready technologies, improved architectural patterns, and automated deployment pipelines. The effort spans policy enforcement, policy information, enterprise management, and resource and policy management services. An active Top Secret/SCI clearance is required, along with willingness to obtain a polygraph within the customer's timeline after hire.

Responsibilities:

The ICAM Architect will define and maintain the enterprise ICAM architecture across policy enforcement, policy information, enterprise management, and resource and policy management modernization domains. This includes developing end-to-end architectural patterns for identity, attribute services, authorization flows, policy distribution, and resource and role lifecycle management. The architect will partner with technical leadership to validate modernization roadmaps, architectural decisions, and integration strategies for on-premises and cloud-native, microservices-based ICAM components. Responsibilities also include translating mission needs into technical requirements, sequence diagrams, data models, interface specifications, and system architecture artifacts; overseeing the design of modern policy enforcement and information point interfaces supporting attribute-based access control, dynamic policy evaluation, and event-driven decision making; architecting enterprise management and resource policy management capabilities including resource registration, policy lifecycle automation, attribute orchestration, and enterprise authorization services; and providing architectural guidance to DevOps and software engineering teams to ensure solutions meet scalability, resilience, security, and maintainability requirements. The architect will conduct architectural reviews, risk assessments, and compliance verification for modernization milestones and incremental releases, and will identify opportunities for innovation in identity services, authentication technologies, authorization models, and system integration patterns.
