ABOUT THE ROLE

The Identity and Access Management team at Skechers works as part of the global information security program to ensure authentication systems are designed and operated securely, and the right access exists for the right needs at the right time. As part of this team, the IAM Engineer’s role is to help ensure that authentication and authorization systems are designed and operated with a focus on security and efficiency.

Technology changes quickly and adversaries are constantly evolving new ways to break and bypass all types of local, federated, human, and machine authentication protocols. This technical specialist will bring a broad understanding of threat actor tactics and deep expertise with authentication systems to help ensure that our capabilities are constantly evolving to meet and exceed the current threat environment. The candidate who will find the most success and fulfillment brings a genuine interest and passion for information security, a love for learning, a positive attitude, and that nagging curiosity that makes you want to push past where others stop.
