Job Summary:

SmithRx Mission: SmithRx is on a mission to disrupt the expensive and inefficient Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) sector by building a next-generation drug acquisition platform driven by cutting-edge technology. We are seeking a highly specialized and visionary Identity Engineer to architect, build, and govern the unified identity ecosystems that secure our human workforce, cloud infrastructure, and autonomous AI agents.

The Role Environment: The ideal candidate resides within a commutable distance of our Lehi, UT office and is available to work on-site Monday through Friday. As an Identity Engineer, you will serve as the technical cornerstone of the Identity & Access pod. You will lead strategic initiatives to modernize our identity stack, moving beyond traditional IAM to pioneer Non-Human Identity (NHI) and AI agent governance in a strictly regulated healthcare environment (HIPAA).

Success Profile: We are looking for an Okta expert who understands policy-based cloud authorization and loves designing secure, 'paved road' identity solutions that empower developers rather than slowing them down.

What you will do:

  • Core IAM & Lifecycle Automation: Architect and manage HR-driven provisioning by integrating Okta with Workday (Workday-as-a-Master) to automate complex attribute mapping and secure JML (Joiner/Mover/Leaver) lifecycles.
  • SaaS Ecosystem Security: Engineer and deploy robust SSO (SAML 2.0, OIDC, OAuth 2.0) and SCIM provisioning for major enterprise applications, particularly Salesforce and Google Workspace.
  • Cloud Identity Architecture: Design least-privilege policies and manage AWS Identity Security, including cross-account role assumption, identity federation via Okta, and AWS SSO (Identity Center).
  • Policy-Based Access Control (PBAC): Implement decoupled authorization for cloud-native applications utilizing Open Policy Agent (OPA) and authoring strict access policies in Rego.
  • AI Agent Governance: Secure autonomous AI workflows by assigning distinct identities to AI models, governing their API access, and applying strict sandboxing to prevent unauthorized data retrieval.
  • Machine Identity Management: Own the lifecycle for traditional non-human identities (service accounts, OAuth tokens, API keys, X.509 certificates) to actively prevent secret sprawl across our cloud environment.
  • Contextual Access & Device Trust: Implement zero-trust device posture checks by integrating MDM telemetry and device certificates with Okta to enforce contextual, frictionless access for a mixed fleet of macOS and Windows endpoints.
  • Engineering Culture & Leadership: Mentor junior engineers, conduct rigorous architecture reviews, write clear documentation/runbooks, and elevate the overall identity security maturity of the team.

What you will bring to SmithRx:

  • Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience engineering, deploying, and managing enterprise IAM environments with deep Okta expertise.
  • Cloud Proficiency: Strong hands-on background in AWS IAM, OPA, Rego, and designing zero-trust cloud architectures.
  • NHI & Automation Expertise: Proven track record discovering, managing, and rotating machine identities, combined with a forward-looking approach to securing programmatic AI workflows.
  • Platform Integration Skills: Advanced experience integrating core HRIS platforms (Workday) with Identity Providers, alongside managing complex fleet authentication (macOS/Windows).
  • Regulated Environment Acumen: Solid understanding of access control principles required in highly regulated sectors (e.g., PBM, Healthcare, HIPAA, Privacy), including continuous access reviews and audit logging capabilities.
  • Operational Excellence: A demonstrated passion for maintaining detailed documentation and translating complex identity concepts into scalable, automated solutions.

Nice to Have:

  • Certifications: Okta, AWS or SANS relevant Identity certifications. 
  • Advanced Compliance: Deep experience mapping identity controls directly to ISO, SOC2, HITRUST, and specific privacy regulation frameworks.

What SmithRx Offers You: 

  • Highly competitive wellness benefits including Medical, Pharmacy, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance and AD&D Insurance
  • Flexible Spending Benefits 
  • 401(k) Retirement Savings Program 
  • Short-term and long-term disability
  • Discretionary Paid Time Off 
  • Paid Company Holidays
  • Wellness Benefits
  • Commuter Benefits 
  • Paid Parental Leave benefits
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Well-stocked kitchen in office locations
  • Professional development and training opportunities
