IAM Architect

Role purpose

At Prevalent AI, we empower organizations to take control of every risk across every attack surface. Our clients rely on our cutting-edge Security Data Fabric as the foundation for comprehensive Exposure Management, enabling enhanced decision-making. By helping clients see everything, fix what matters and stop attacks before they happen, we’re reshaping the future of security.

As an IAM Architect, you will work closely with client architects, internal product teams, and AI architecture groups to define secure IAM patterns, assess identity risk, and ensure identity is foundational to Prevalent AI’s Data Fabric and Exposure Management capabilities. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys shaping direction, influencing design decisions, and securing complex ecosystems through thought leadership.

Key accountabilities

Architecture & Design

Define IAM reference architectures, standards, and best practices across cloud, hybrid, and identity ecosystems.

Work with client IAM and enterprise architects to review designs, provide guidance, and recommend improvements.

Assess identity-related risks, control gaps, and misconfigurations, and provide actionable remediation guidance.

Align IAM designs with frameworks such as NIST, CIS, ISO 27001, and zero-trust principles.

IAM for AI & Emerging Architectures

Lead security architecture for identity in AI-driven systems, including securing access to AI models, data, APIs, and agent-based workflows.

Collaborate with AI architects to design AI-aware IAM controls, including identity governance, privilege boundaries, and access assurance for AI components.
