Senior Technical Lead - IAM Data Integration and Migration

Responsibilities

Peraton is looking for a Senior Technical Lead – IAM Data Integration and Migration who will will oversee the existing Identity and Access Management (IAM) data environment while leading the planning, engineering, validation, and migration of identity data to a modern IAM solution. This role ensures that identity, account, role, entitlement, policy, and access data remains accurate, secure, and auditable throughout the migration life-cycle.

The ideal candidate brings hands-on expertise in data migration engineering, identity data analysis, database engineering, and security-minded architecture, with experience supporting AWS GovCloud, enterprise IAM modernization in federal or highly regulated environments, Oracle and DB2 environments, and legacy IBM IAM platforms.
What will you do:
IAM Migration Leadership

- Lead the data migration strategy from the legacy IBM IAM solution to the new target IAM platform.

- Develop and maintain the end-to-end data migration roadmap, including discovery, profiling, cleansing, mapping, transformation, test migration, validation, cutover, rollback, and post-migration support.

- Define source-to-target mappings between IBM IAM data structures and new target data models.

- Preserve identity-to-account, account-to-entitlement, group-to-role, role-to-policy, and user-to-access relationships throughout migration.

- Design repeatable and auditable migration pipelines using SQL, scripting, ETL tools, APIs, or platform-native migration utilities.

- Support integration with enterprise Identity and Access Management (IAM) platform components, including directory services, federation services, access management, authorization, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) solutions, as applicable.

- Ensure migrated data supports authentication, authorization, federation, provisioning, governance, access reviews, and Zero Trust-aligned access control models.

Security, Compliance, and Data Protection

- Ensure identity data is protected throughout extraction, staging, transformation, migration, and validation.

- Support data retention, data storage, data encryption, and secure handling of sensitive identity data, including PII and privileged account information.

- Align data migration and IAM modernization activities with federal and enterprise security requirements, including NIST, FISMA, FedRAMP, DISA STIG, Zero Trust, and agency-specific controls.

Technical Leadership and Project Execution

- Oversee systems engineering and data engineering activities across multiple concurrent workstreams with strict deadlines.

- Lead technical planning, cost/schedule input, execution planning, technical performance metrics, and risk mitigation strategies.

- Coordinate across IAM, database, cloud, infrastructure, cybersecurity, application, testing, and business teams.

- Manage technical risks related to data loss, incorrect access assignments, migration defects, cutover timing, security exposure, and operational disruption.

- Support Agile/Scrum teams by assessing how enhancements, defects, data issues, or migration requests impact the IAM architecture and downstream systems.

- Communicate technical progress, risks, dependencies, and decision points clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Legacy IAM Operations and Data Oversight

- Oversee engineering and operational support for the IBM IAM solution, including identity repositories, account data, entitlement data, access control data, and associated database platforms.

- Support the stability, integrity, and efficient operation of existing IAM systems, data bases, directories, integrations, and supporting infrastructure.

- Analyze existing identity data models, schemas, attributes, roles, groups, entitlements, privileged accounts, and access relationships.

- Identify data quality issues, duplicate identities, orphaned accounts, inactive accounts, stale entitlements, missing attributes, and broken role or group mappin
