Title: Lead Senior Automation Engineer – Identity Governance
Client: The Walt Disney Company
Duration: 4+ months
Location: Burbank, CA, or Seattle, WA or Orlando, FL (4x per week onsite)
Work Requirements: US Citizen, GC Holders, or Authorized to Work in the U.S.
Description:
- We are seeking a Senior Automation Engineer to design and build continuous, policy-driven remediation automation for identity governance and compliance gaps across a complex enterprise directory ecosystem.
- This role is critical to achieving our FY26–FY27 outcomes, including automated enforcement of identity hygiene, elimination of manual remediation, continuous compliance monitoring, and scalable governance for both human and non-human identities. The engineer will work closely with IAM architects, security, and platform teams to move the organization from reactive remediation to self-healing identity controls by default.
Key Responsibilities:
Automated Governance & Compliance Remediation
- Build automation that detects and remediates identity governance violations across Active Directory and Entra ID, including inactive accounts, orphaned identities, misconfigurations, and policy drift.
Implement event- and time-based remediation workflows, such as:
- Automatic disablement of inactive accounts after defined thresholds (e.g., 90 days)
- Automatic deletion of disabled accounts after remediation windows elapse
- Automate remediation of identified AD and identity security findings, eliminating manual, ticket-driven cleanup.
Continuous Identity Hygiene Automation
- Engineer automated controls for:
- Service account password rotation and expiration notifications
- Enforcement of baseline identity security standards across domains and tenants
- Ensure identities remain compliant throughout their entire lifecycle, not just at creation or audit time.
Identity Lifecycle & Zero Standing Privilege
- Partner with IAM architects to automate least-privilege and just-in-time access models, reducing and eliminating standing privileged access.
- Support automated human and non-human identity governance, including lifecycle enforcement and privilege clean-up.
Monitoring, Signals, and Self-Healing Controls
- Build automation that integrates monitoring signals, policy outcomes, and directory health data into closed-loop remediation pipelines.
- Enable continuous monitoring and regular AD health checks with automated response where feasible.
Scale, Standardization, and Platform Thinking
- Design reusable automation frameworks and remediation patterns that can be applied across:
- Multiple domains and tenants
- Business units with varying maturity
- Help evolve Directory Services into a standardized, automated identity platform, not a collection of scripts.
Required Education:
- BA/BS Degree Comp Sci/IS or related field
