At least 5 years of cloud security or identity engineering experience and B2+ English are required.

Description
The Enterprise Agent Development Platform is a production-grade, cloud-native ecosystem that enables engineering teams to define, orchestrate, deploy, and observe AI agents at scale. It supports agent identity and access control across agent-to-tool-to-API chains.
Responsibilities
•Own runtime identity and access control for the agent platform, including inbound and outbound authentication
•Design and implement On-Behalf-Of (OBO) token exchange and scoped identity propagation across agent-to-tool-to-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
Requirements
•At least 5 years of experience in cloud security or identity engineering
•Hands-on experience with identity and access control for AI agents in a production agentic AI project, such as OBO token exchange across agent-to-tool-to-API chains, AgentCore Identity, or agent identity federation (Entra Agent ID)
•Expertise in AWS Bedrock AgentCore Identity or similar technology, including inbound authentication, outbound authentication, and token vaults
•Hands-on implementation experience with OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and JWT, including token issuance, validation, and exchange
•Production experience with On-Behalf-Of / token-exchange flows (RFC 8693 or equivalent)
•Background in enterprise identity federation with MS Entra, Okta, or Cognito
•Skills in secure credential and secret management and token lifecycle, including rotation and vaulting
•English proficiency at B2 level or higher
Nice to have
•Early adoption or equivalent experience with AWS Bedrock AgentCore Identity
•Familiarity with AWS AgentCore Gateway outbound-auth integration
•Knowledge of MCP / A2A tool-invocation auth patterns
•Exposure to AgentCore Policy (Cedar) or AWS Verified Permissions
