We are looking for a Lead Agent Identity Engineer to own runtime identity and access control for an Enterprise Agent Development Platform — a production-grade, cloud-native ecosystem that enables engineering teams to define, orchestrate, deploy, and observe AI agents at scale. The role covers inbound and outbound auth, on-behalf-of token exchange, and enterprise identity federation across agent to tool to API chains, using LangGraph and Strands Agents on AWS AgentCore Runtime.

Responsibilities

Own runtime identity and access control for the agent platform, including inbound and outbound auth
Design and implement On-Behalf-Of (OBO) token exchange and scoped identity propagation across agent → tool → API chains
Integrate identity into the agent invocation lifecycle within AgentCore Runtime
Manage Gateway outbound authorization and per-target credentials, ensuring secrets are never exposed to the calling agent
Build and maintain token vault and workload identity brokering capabilities
Coordinate Cedar / MS Entra claims mapping for identity-aware authorization with Runtime Controls
Validate claims, scopes, audience, and issuer for JWT / OAuth 2.0 / OIDC tokens, including short-lived scoped tokens
Partner with platform and security teams to enforce consistent identity governance across the agent ecosystem
