We are seeking a senior-level IBM Security Access Manager (ISAM) / IBM Security Verify Access (ISVA) Engineer with deep expertise in designing, deploying, and operationalizing secure access management platforms from the ground up.This role requires hands-on experience standing up the full ISAM/ISVA infrastructure, configuring clustering and high availability, implementing disaster recovery, and integrating the platform into complex enterprise environments. This is not a support-only or configuration-only role — the ideal candidate has built resilient ISAM/ISVA environments end-to-end and understands the infrastructure, networking, security, and performance considerations required to run the platform at enterprise scale.This position is remote, but must be a resident in IndiaKey ResponsibilitiesArchitecture & Platform DeploymentDesign and implement enterprise-grade ISAM / ISVA architectureInstall and configure:ISVA Virtual Appliances (Access Control, Federation, Advanced Access Control)Web Reverse Proxy (WRP)Policy ServerRuntime componentsConfigure clustered deployments for scalability and redundancyDesign and implement multi-tier environments (DEV, QA, PROD)Implement secure baseline configurations aligned with enterprise standardsHigh Availability & Disaster RecoveryDesign and configure:Appliance clusteringRuntime high availabilitySession failover and replicationLoad balancing strategies (F5, Netscaler, etc.)Implement multi-data center deployments where requiredDevelop and test disaster recovery proceduresConfigure database replication (if applicable)Perform failover and resiliency testingIntegration & Security ImplementationIntegrate ISAM/ISVA with:Active Directory / LDAPSAML 2.0 / OIDC / OAuth providersEnterprise applications (on-prem and cloud)MFA providersAPI gatewaysImplement:Reverse proxy junctionsAccess control policiesFederation trust relationshipsAdaptive authentication and step-up authenticationConfigure advanced access control policies and contextual risk-based accessPerformance & OptimizationTune reverse proxy performance and connection handlingOptimize authentication flows and federation transactionsConduct performance testing and capacity planningTroubleshoot latency, session issues, and authentication failuresAutomation & DevOpsAutomate appliance configuration using REST APIs and scriptingDevelop deployment automation (Shell, Python, Ansible, etc.)Support CI/CD integration for configuration promotionImplement configuration backup and version control processesDocumentation & Knowledge TransferProduce detailed architecture and topology diagramsDocument build procedures and operational runbooksProvide structured handoff to operations/support teamsRequired Qualifications5+ years of hands-on experience with IBM ISAM / ISVAProven experience deploying ISAM/ISVA from scratch in enterprise environmentsStrong experience with:ISVA virtual appliancesWeb Reverse Proxy configurationFederation (SAML, OIDC, OAuth)LDAP and Active Directory integrationLoad balancers and networking fundamentalsDemonstrated experience designing and implementing high availability and disaster recovery solutionsStrong understanding of authentication protocols and identity federationExperience with Linux systems and networking (DNS, TLS, certificates)Strong scripting and automation skillsPreferred QualificationsExperience migrating from ISAM to ISVAExperience with containerized ISVA deploymentsExperience integrating ISVA with API security platformsKnowledge of zero trust architecture principlesExperience in financial services, healthcare, or other regulated industriesSecurity certifications (CISSP, CISM) or IAM-specific certificationsKey CompetenciesInfrastructure-level expertise (not just policy configuration)Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skillsAbility to design scalable, resilient, and secure access architecturesStrong documentation and communication skillsAbility to independently own platform build and lifecycleWhat Success Looks LikeFully operational ISAM/ISVA environment built and hardened from the ground upHigh availability architecture successfully implemented and testedFederation and access policies securely integrated across enterprise systemsClean documentation and operational handoffStable, scalable access management platform ready for production
