Walmart Global Tech is seeking a Senior DevOps Systems & Infrastructure Engineer within Information Security, specializing in Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) with a deep focus on the SailPoint IdentityIQ (IIQ) platform.
This role sits at the intersection of security engineering, platform reliability, automation, and enterprise identity governance. You will design, operate, and evolve one of the largest and most complex IAM environments in the world—supporting hundreds of thousands of identities, thousands of applications, and multiple identity sources across corporate, retail, supply chain, cloud, and legacy platforms.
This is a hands on senior engineering role, not an advisory or purely architectural position. You are expected to operate independently, own production outcomes, and deliver scalable, resilient, and auditable identity controls at Walmart scale.

DevOps, Reliability & Operations
- Apply DevOps and SRE principles to identity infrastructure:
-
High availability, resiliency, and disaster recovery
-
Monitoring, alerting, and operational health checks
-
Incident response, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement
-
Treat identity platforms as production‑grade services, with strong SLIs/SLOs and operational discipline
-
Partner closely with platform owners, application teams, and security stakeholders to ensure identity services scale safely and reliably
Security, Compliance & Risk
- Ensure SailPoint IIQ implementations meet SOX, audit, and regulatory requirements, providing demonstrable, auditable controls at enterprise scale
-
Reduce risk by moving decentralized and local access controls into centralized governance
-
Support security initiatives that directly impact Walmart’s global risk posture, audit outcomes, and regulatory compliance
Required (Non‑Negotiable)
- Senior‑level, hands‑on experience with SailPoint IdentityIQ in a large, complex enterprise environment
-
Deep understanding of Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) concepts and implementations

Cloud platforms
-
Proven experience with:
-

APIs, web services, and custom integrations

-
Familiarity with:

RACF / mainframe identity governance
-
SAP GRC, privileged access, or PAM integrations
-
Cloud IAM and hybrid identity architectures

Experience applying DevOps practices to security platforms
-
Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical and executive audiences
