Agentic AI SME

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Act as the primary authority on agentic AI technologies and their implementation within ICAM programs, offering technical advice, recommendations, and thought leadership to program teams and government stakeholders.

• Identify, assess, and prioritize opportunities to utilize agentic AI capabilities to streamline and improve ICAM processes, including identity lifecycle management, access certifications, anomaly detection, entitlement management, and privileged access governance.

• Create and develop agentic AI solutions that integrate with SailPoint and Okta platforms to facilitate autonomous decision-making, intelligent workflow orchestration, and adaptive access control.

• Oversee the creation of agentic AI use cases, proofs of concept (PoCs), and pilot implementations, converting complex technical ideas into actionable solutions that meet mission needs.

• Work alongside ICAM engineers and administrators to incorporate AI-driven automation into existing SailPoint and Okta environments, utilizing APIs, connectors, and workflow engines.

• Develop and implement AI-powered anomaly detection and behavioral analytics features to recognize suspicious access patterns, insider threats, and potential identity-related security incidents.

• Direct the responsible and ethical utilization of AI within ICAM programs, ensuring that agentic AI solutions comply with federal AI policies, privacy requirements, and security standards.

• Assist in formulating AI governance frameworks and policies tailored to ICAM, including guidelines for human-in-the-loop oversight, auditability, and explainability of AI-driven access decisions.

• Provide technical expertise in assessing and selecting agentic AI tools, frameworks, and platforms appropriate for integration with federal ICAM architectures.

• Keep up-to-date with emerging trends and advancements in agentic AI, large language models (LLMs), machine learning, and their applications in identity and access management.

• Create and present technical briefings, white papers, and presentations to government stakeholders and senior leadership regarding ICAM agentic AI capabilities, roadmaps, and outcomes.

• Collaborate with data engineers and data scientists to develop and sustain the data pipelines, models, and training datasets necessary for supporting AI-driven ICAM capabilities.

• Contribute to the creation of technical documentation, architecture diagrams, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) related to agentic AI integrations within ICAM environments.

• Support ATO processes by evaluating AI-related risks and aiding in security documentation, including System Security Plans (SSPs) and Risk Assessment Reports (RARs).

• Mentor and offer technical guidance to ICAM engineers and administrators on AI concepts, tools, and best practices.
