About The Role

The Identity & Access Management (IAM) – Directory Services team is responsible for building and operating a secure, standardized, and automated enterprise identity foundation across The Walt Disney Company. We provide the authoritative directory platforms that enable authentication, authorization, and access governance for both human and non‑human identities.

Our mission is to move identity governance from manual, reactive processes to automated, policy‑driven enforcement, ensuring identities are secure, compliant, and healthy by default across their lifecycle. We partner closely with security, infrastructure, and application teams to eliminate legacy risk, reduce operational toil, and enable modern, cloud‑first identity capabilities at enterprise scale.

What You’ll Do

Application & Automation Engineering

Design, build, and maintain secure, enterprise-scale web applications using .NET (C#) on the backend and Angular on the frontend.
Develop and deliver RESTful APIs and microservices that integrate with Active Directory, Entra ID, and enterprise identity platforms.
Build self-service portals and workflows that replace manual identity operations with automated, policy-driven processes.
Write clean, testable, well-documented code and participate in code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing.

Non-Human Identity (NHI) Onboarding & Management

Automate the onboarding, lifecycle, and decommissioning of non-human identities — service accounts, managed identities, application registrations, certificates, and secrets.
Build tooling for NHI discovery, ownership attestation, credential rotation, and expiry notification.
Implement guardrails and approval workflows that ensure every NHI has a valid owner, justification, and least-privilege entitlement set.

AD Group Management & Access Automation

Develop automation for Active Directory group lifecycle management — creation, naming standards, nesting rules, ownership, membership review, and cleanup of stale or orphaned groups.
Implement RBAC-based, request-and-approve access models with time-bound and just-in-time membership patterns.
Integrate group management with Entra ID, ITSM, and identity governance platforms.

Governance, Compliance & Reporting Automation

Automate governance and compliance policy enforcement for Active Directory and Entra ID, including drift detection, automated remediation, and exception handling.
Build dashboards and compliance reporting that give owners, auditors, and leadership continuous visibility into identity posture.
Translate security standards and audit requirements into codified, testable policy checks.

Collaboration & Delivery

Partner with identity engineers, security architects, and application teams to gather requirements and deliver iteratively.
Produce runbooks, technical documentation, and knowledge transfer materials so solutions remain supportable beyond the contract term.

Work Location: This is an onsite position based in Burbank, California. Candidates must be able to work onsite.
