Job Description
CyberArk is expanding our Identity Shared Services group, the engineering team responsible for how CyberArk products integrate, unify, and sync identity data from enterprise identity providers. This team builds the core services that connect CyberArk to Active Directory, LDAP, Entra ID/Azure AD, Okta Universal Directory, SCIM-based systems, and modern identity platforms. We are looking for an Engineering Manager who has real experience leading teams that build or integrate with identity directories, identity graphs, or large-scale identity data pipelines. This role is not governance-only IAM architecture and is not big-data/Hadoop; it is hands-on leadership of engineers building backend services that aggregate, normalize, and synchronize user and group identities. What You’ll Lead: Identity & Directory Integration
- Build and evolve services that ingest identity data from AD, LDAP, Okta UD, Entra ID, SCIM, and other IDPs.
- Lead the team responsible for directory sync, mapping logic, provisioning pipelines, attribute normalization, conflict/duplicate resolution, and multi-source identity stitching.
- Owning high-scale, low-latency distributed backend services powering CyberArk’s Identity Security platform.
Architecture & Technical Direction
- Guide engineers through system design, code reviews, and distributed systems best practices.
- Influence architecture around identity federation, directory aggregation, and data flow orchestration.
- Partner with Security, Product, and Platform engineering to ensure resilience, correctness, and secure-by-design implementation.
Leadership & Delivery
- Manage a team of backend engineers (5–10), providing coaching, performance guidance, and career development.
- Drive roadmap execution with clear milestones, predictable delivery, and technical accountability.
- Collaborate with product management to define use cases, prioritization, and long-term direction.
