The position also involves driving discovery efforts to create a strong foundation for future system enhancements and improvements.

We are not seeking Leads or Architects this role is strictly for senior-level, highly skilled developers who are passionate about coding.

Job Description:

• Strong, hands-on focus on development and coding not architecture or administrative tasks.

• Develop and enhance ForgeRock components (e.g., AM, IDM, DS, IG) using Java and Groovy, enabling custom workflows, hooks, scripting, and connector logic

• Design, implement, and integrate RESTful APIs for ForgeRock systems and external services, ensuring robust identity and access flows

• Create and maintain attribute mapping logic across systems (LDAP, RDBMS, HR, external apps), ensuring data consistency and accuracy

• Conduct discovery analysis of current system behaviors, pain points, and integration patterns to inform future-proofing strategies and development roadmaps.

• Serve as a solution-focused coder, translating business requirements into functional, maintainable source code and testing artifacts.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (DevOps, security, QA, business) to support code deployment, testing, and performance validation.

• Produce clear technical documentation: code comments, mapping matrices, API specs, runbooks, and knowledge artifacts for future reference and enhancement efforts.

• Hands-on development experience with ForgeRock Identity Platform components and customization through Java and Groovy.

• Expert-level Java coding skills, with experience extending ForgeRock workflows, modules, and identity logic.

• Proficient in Groovy scripting for business logic, transformation, and dynamic workflows.

• Strong experience designing and invoking REST APIs, particularly in identity flows and system integration.

• Proven ability to model and implement attribute mapping systems, provisioning logic, and connector workflows.

• Aptitude for discovery and system analysis, translating observations into tangible implementation plans.

• Familiarity with identity standards and integration technologies: SAML, OAuth2, OpenID Connect, LDAP, RDBMS.

• Hands-on experience with DevOps practices: CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and automated deployments.

• Excellent problem-solving skills, debugging acumen, and ability to create robust, testable code.

Desired but not required

• Previous work within financial services IAM environments, where compliance and secure integrations are critical.

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Azure) and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Exposure to infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible) in supporting ForgeRock deployments.

• Prior experience performing proof-of-concept builds or prototypes that inform larger system upgrades.
