About the role
- You understand both the SP and IdP sides of federation deeply, attribute statements, assertion mapping, binding types, token claims, and PKCE flows are not new territory.
- Communicate clearly with both technical and executive audiences on project status, risk, and outcomes.
Responsibilities
- Own and evolve Amplitude's IT automation platform with Okta Workflows as the primary engine.
- Design and deliver reliable, scalable automations across onboarding and offboarding, access provisioning, SaaS license management, and compliance workflows.

Requirements

- Autonomy & ownership: You work through ambiguous problems independently from initial triage through remediation and documentation.
- You work closely with People Ops and IT Security to align lifecycle triggers with HR systems, enforce role-based provisioning via SCIM and group rules, and produce the evidence needed for SOC 2 and access review cycles.
