Role Description
Identity Security Engineer

Function: Security Architecture & Engineering

Reports to: Identity Security Architect & IGA Service Owner

Location: India (Trivandrum, Bangalore or Hyderabad)

Role Overview

UST is looking for an Identity Security Engineer to own the engineering and operational delivery of identity security controls across the enterprise. Identity is UST's primary security control plane -this role exists to make it robust, resilient, and difficult to abuse.

This is not just an IGA administration role. The focus is security: closing identity-based attack paths, enforcing least privilege, eliminating orphaned and over-privileged accounts, securing non-human and AI-driven identities, and ensuring that identity signals are feeding detection and response. The platforms - IGA, IAM, NHI controls are the means to that end.

The engineer works directly under the Identity Security Architect & IGA Service Owner and is the primary technical resource responsible for building, automating,



and operating identity security controls across the full identity lifecycle. This is a build-and-operate role - ownership includes both engineering delivery and the ongoing security integrity of what is built. The expectation is engineering-led operations: automation-first, security-outcome-focused, with continuous improvement built in.
