Responsibilities

Peraton is looking for a Senior Technical Lead – IAM Data Integration and Migration who will will oversee the existing Identity and Access Management (IAM) data environment while leading the planning, engineering, validation, and migration of identity data to a modern IAM solution. This role ensures that identity, account, role, entitlement, policy, and access data remains accurate, secure, and auditable throughout the migration life-cycle.

The ideal candidate brings hands-on expertise in data migration engineering, identity data analysis, database engineering, and security-minded architecture, with experience supporting AWS GovCloud, enterprise IAM modernization in federal or highly regulated environments, Oracle and DB2 environments, and legacy IBM IAM platforms.

What will you do:

IAM Migration Leadership

• Lead the data migration strategy from the legacy IBM IAM solution to the new target IAM platform.
• Develop and maintain the end-to-end data migration roadmap, including discovery, profiling, cleansing, mapping, transformation, test migration, validation, cutover, rollback, and post-migration support.
• Define source-to-target mappings between IBM IAM data structures and new target data models.
• Preserve identity-to-account, account-to-entitlement, group-to-role, role-to-policy, and user-to-access relationships throughout migration.
• Design repeatable and auditable migration pipelines using SQL, scripting, ETL tools, APIs, or platform-native migration utilities.
• Support integration with enterprise Identity and Access Management (IAM) platform components, including directory services, federation services, access management, authorization, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) solutions, as applicable.
• Ensure migrated data supports authentication, authorization, federation, provisioning, governance, access reviews, and Zero Trust-aligned access control models.

Security, Compliance, and Data Protection

• Ensure identity data is protected throughout extraction, staging, transformation, migration, and validation.
• Support data retention, data storage, data encryption, and secure handling of sensitive identity data, including PII and privileged account information.
• Align data migration and IAM modernization activities with federal and enterprise security requirements, including NIST, FISMA, FedRAMP, DISA STIG, Zero Trust, and agency-specific controls.

Technical Leadership and Project Execution

• Oversee systems engineering and data engineering activities across multiple concurrent workstreams with strict deadlines.
• Lead technical planning, cost/schedule input, execution planning, technical performance metrics, and risk mitigation strategies.
• Coordinate across IAM, database, cloud, infrastructure, cybersecurity, application, testing, and business teams.
• Manage technical risks related to data loss, incorrect access assignments, migration defects, cutover timing, security exposure, and operational disruption.
• Support Agile/Scrum teams by assessing how enhancements, defects, data issues, or migration requests impact the IAM architecture and downstream systems.
• Communicate technical progress, risks, dependencies, and decision points clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Legacy IAM Operations and Data Oversight

• Oversee engineering and operational support for the IBM IAM solution, including identity repositories, account data, entitlement data, access control data, and associated database platforms.
• Support the stability, integrity, and efficient operation of existing IAM systems, data bases, directories, integrations, and supporting infrastructure.
• Analyze existing identity data models, schemas, attributes, roles, groups, entitlements, privileged accounts, and access relationships.
• Identify data quality issues, duplicate identities, orphaned accounts, inactive accounts, stale entitlements, missing attributes, and broken role or group mappings.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

• Must be a U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain and maintain the required Public Trust level clearance
• Bachelor’s Degree and 12 years of experience, or a High School diploma or equivalent and 16 years of experience
• 10+ years supporting Information Technology in enterprise environments.
• 7+ years hands-on with IBM products, Oracle products, and cloud-based products.
• Training and certification (mandatory) in target IAM database products preferred, especially Oracle and DB2.
• Strong technical knowledge of IT systems, IAM, and AWS GovCloud services.
• Demonstrated experience with the planning, management, leadership, and coordination of multiple concurrent tasks with strict deadlines for large-scale, highly available systems integrated with business-critical platforms.
• Demonstrated expertise in data encryption, data storage, and retention policies in secure federal environments.
• Proven ability to perform complex technical tasks in a highly secure environment.
• Strong understanding of software development, enhancement, and maintenance life-cycles.
• Experience with agile/scrum methodologies.
• Expert knowledge of recent advances in computer science and engineering.

Preferred Skills

• Prior experience with federal IT programs, regulatory compliance, and federal acquisition documentation.
• Familiarity with Zero Trust Architecture principles, federal mandates (OMB M-22-09, EO 14028), and enterprise data governance and security frameworks (NIST, FISMA, FedRAMP).
• Knowledge of cloud-native database and data warehousing technologies on AWS GovCloud.
• Experience supporting ATO processes, System Security Plans (SSPs), and continuous monitoring activities.
