Make access management seamless, secure, and self-service!
What if every access request could be fast, auditable, and automated without anyone chasing approvals? As a Security Developer on Coveo’s Identity and Access Management (IAM) team, you’ll build the tooling and automation that make secure access simple across the company.
You’ll design workflows, integrations, and self-service platforms that transform fragmented processes into a unified, developer-friendly experience. Your work will empower teams to manage access efficiently while strengthening security and compliance at scale.
As our Security Developer on the IAM team, you will:
- Build and maintain access request and approval workflows that empower system owners to manage access to their systems.
- Develop self-service tools, including application programming interfaces (APIs), command-line interfaces, and lightweight user interfaces, enabling IT Helpdesk and system owners to provision and deprovision access independently.
- Design automated user lifecycle pipelines for onboarding, offboarding, and role changes, integrating with human resources systems and identity providers such as Okta.
- Build audit logging and access review systems that provide unified visibility across corporate and research and development environments for compliance reporting.
- Integrate with existing security tools and platforms, building on shared infrastructure rather than creating parallel systems.
- Collaborate with Security Engineering, IT, and platform teams to reduce friction and make access management intuitive, secure, and scalable.
Here is what will qualify you for the role:
- 3+ years of software engineering experience, including hands-on experience building internal tooling, automation, or platform services.
- Proficiency in Python or another backend language, along with experience building APIs and integrations.
- Practical experience with workflow orchestration, approval systems, or business process automation.
- Familiarity with identity and access management concepts, including single sign-on (SSO), System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM), role-based access control (RBAC), OpenID Connect (OIDC), and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), as well as cloud platforms and infrastructure as code.
What will make you stand out:
- Experience with identity providers such as Okta or Microsoft Entra ID, including API-driven configuration and automation.
- Hands-on experience building developer self-service platforms or internal portals that abstract operational complexity.
- Familiarity with just-in-time access, time-bound permissions, zero standing privilege, privileged access management, or relevant security and identity certifications.
