The opportunity
Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's most trusted driver. Since its start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver—The World's Most Experienced Driver™—to improve access to…
What you'll do
Access Management: Own current end-to-end processes and workflows for tooling & access management across Global Extended Workforce
Write Code & Develop Tooling Requirements: Actively partner with Engineering to develop applications, scripts, and custom tooling that sit on top of current access systems to simplify access paths and drive operational efficiencies.
Mitigate Access Risk: Lead proactive risk-reduction initiatives. Audit, design, and enforce strict "least privilege" models to ensure users are never over-provisioned with unnecessary tools or access.
Program Lifecycle Management: Deliver simplified future state access management programs for the Global Extended Workforce, defining clear milestones, ownership, and technical dependencies.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner directly with Engineers, Tool Owners, Cybersecurity, and Business Leadership to translate complex security standards into frictionless technical workflows, develop tooling and access policies, and educate on best practices.
System Automation: Exercise strong technical judgment to replace manual access-management bottlenecks with scalable, automated engineering solutions, leveraging an AI-first approach.
What they're looking for
- Engineering & Coding Skills: Possess the technical depth to audit code-managed configurations, and comfort to make updates to reflect required access updates and policy tweaks to provide access paths in today’s environment. Focus on future state simplification by building requirements for internal access tools, processes and automation of workflows.
- IAM Expertise: Deep technical understanding of enterprise Identity Access Management frameworks (e.g., Okta, SailPoint, Google Cloud IAM, or custom frameworks).
- Risk Management Mindset: Proven ability to proactively identify access security risks, build mitigation and contingency plans, and track risk-reduction metrics (e.g., access latency, over-provisioning remediation).
- Technical Program Leadership: Strong capability to manage project timelines, navigate ambiguity, align conflicting priorities, and communicate complex architectures to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
