Position Overview Autodesk is seeking an
Identity Architect
to play a critical role in modernizing and scaling our enterprise identity infrastructure. This position sits within Enterprise Security and operates as a senior principal individual contributor with broad technical scope and cross-organizational influence. While this role is for an individual contributor, strong acumen influencing the outcomes of a large engineering organization is a must. The Identity Architect will partner closely with security architects, identity and platform engineers, and productivity service teams across Autodesk to design and drive secure, scalable identity solutions. This role is hands‑on and execution‑oriented, focused on enabling secure access at enterprise scale while accelerating engineering initiatives. Primary areas of responsibility include Privileged Identity Management (PIM), Privileged Access Management (PAM), and automation of the identity lifecycle. This is a fully remote‑friendly role anywhere in North America, with regular travel expected to Autodesk hubs in San Francisco, CA and/or Novi, MI.

Design and evolve privileged access models supporting just‑in‑time, just‑enough access, and strong auditability across human and non‑human identities
Lead architecture and integration efforts involving Microsoft Entra, CyberArk, and SailPoint
Partner with Enterprise Security, identity engineering, productivity service, and workplace technology teams to deliver clear, engineer‑ready identity architectures and standards
Provide architectural leadership to teams, raising engineering rigor and consistency across the organization
Identify architectural gaps, risks, and technical debt in identity systems and define pragmatic remediation strategies
Architect identity‑driven access for end user devices (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android), aligning zero‑trust principles, Conditional Access, and privileged access controls
Ensure identity solutions align with Autodesk’s security, compliance, and operational requirements while enabling developer and business productivity

5+ years of hands‑on, production experience with CyberArk, including PAM architecture and onboarding models, or equivalent technology
5+ years of hands‑on, production experience with SailPoint, including identity governance and lifecycle automation, or equivalent technology
Strong understanding of:
Identity and access management principles
Privileged access patterns and controls
Authentication and authorization protocols
Directory services and hybrid identity architectures
Demonstrated ability to operate as a senior individual contributor with broad scope and limited direction
Proven ability to influence and guide engineering teams through technical leadership and architectural clarity
