Senior Security Consultant - Okta (Remote in the US)

About this role

GuidePoint Security provides trusted cybersecurity expertise, solutions and services that help organizations make better decisions and minimize risk.

General Description

GuidePoint Security is hiring a Senior Security Consultant – Okta Access Management to join our delivery team on a full-time basis. This is a fully remote role for a seasoned IAM engineer/architect who can independently lead complex Okta engagements from design through implementation with minimal oversight.

The Senior Security Consultant is a hands-on technical leader responsible for architecting, implementing, and optimizing Access Management solutions across the Okta Identity Engine (OIE) and Auth0 platforms. This role requires deep expertise in Okta Workflows, federation, and modern authentication patterns — with the ability to flex between workforce and customer identity use cases depending on engagement needs.

This individual will serve as the technical authority on assigned engagements, driving solution design, leading client workshops, mentoring junior staff, and ensuring delivery excellence across the full engagement lifecycle.

Access Management / CIAM Practice

Coming to the Access Management team means working on the leading edge in the IAM space. As a Senior Security Consultant focused on Okta, you will lead complex identity engagements for some of the largest enterprises in the US — designing solutions that secure millions of users across workforce and customer-facing applications. You will have the autonomy to own your engagements end-to-end while being backed by a collaborative team of IAM specialists.

We partner with the largest vendors in the space to ensure that the latest training is always available to our team. High level communication and collaboration are the standard. Mentorship at all levels is foundational to our culture. We don't just talk about work life balance; we facilitate it with an unlimited PTO benefit.

We understand that in order to retain our talented team, leadership must provide regular feedback and coaching. We recruit new members to the team with the understanding that opportunities for growth are important. Whether your goals include future leadership opportunities, becoming a Practice Director, or even moving to another discipline within security in time, the leadership team is focused on partnering with you to help achieve them.

• Configure and optimize Okta API Access Management including custom authorization servers, token policies, scopes, and claims for securing APIs and microservices

• Apply infrastructure-as-code and DevOps/SecDevOps practices to Okta environments — managing tenant configurations via the Okta Terraform Provider, version-controlling policy and application definitions in Git, and integrating identity changes into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) for repeatable, auditable deployments

• Lead technical discovery sessions, whiteboarding, and solution design workshops with client architects and engineering teams

• Produce technical design documents, architecture diagrams, runbooks, and implementation guides

• Conduct internal knowledge-sharing sessions, brown bags, and technical deep dives
