Deliver high-quality testing for identity processing and provisioning across the identity lifecycle (joiner/mover/leaver).
You'll validate that identities, accounts, and entitlements are provisioned and removed accurately, securely, and in line with control expectations.
Key responsibilities
Execute functional, integration, and regression testing for identity processing and provisioning changes.
Test end-to-end flows across source systems (e. g., HR), identity platform, directories (AD/LDAP), and target applications.
Validate provisioning outcomes: account creation/updates, entitlement assignment/removal, approvals, and de-provisioning.
Perform negative and exception-path testing (failed connectors, retries, reconciliation, manual overrides).
Validate identity data mapping and transformations (attributes, rules, and role logic such as birthright access).
Prepare and maintain test artefacts: test cases, test data, execution evidence, and test summary updates.
Log and manage defects with clear steps, expected vs actual results, and supporting evidence (logs/screenshots/API responses).
Support UAT and release activities by providing test status, risks, and go/no-go input.
Collaborate with engineers, analysts, and platform teams to clarify requirements and improve test coverage.
Required skills & experience
Proven experience in software testing in complex integration environments.
Strong understanding of IAM concepts: identity lifecycle, provisioning/de-provisioning, entitlements, RBAC/ABAC, approvals, recertification.
Experience testing integrations across multiple systems (HR feeds, directories, IAM tools, and business applications).
Solid SQL skills and ability to validate data in databases/logs; comfortable analysing batch files and API payloads.
Familiarity with API testing tools (e. g., Postman) and test management/defect tools (e. g., Jira, ALM).
Strong defect writing, stakeholder communication, and evidence-based reporting Desirable skills
API testing experience (e. g., Postman) and basic understanding of REST/JSON.
Exposure to IAM tools (e. g., Sail Point, Saviynt, Okta, Azure AD) and directories (AD/LDAP).
Test automation experience (e. g., Java/Python, Selenium, REST-assured, Cypress) and CI/CD (e. g., Jenkins/Git Lab).
Understanding of audit/control requirements for access management and segregation of duties.
