Senior Access Management Engineer - Duo / MFA Specialist (Remote in the U.S.)

The role

GuidePoint Security is hiring a Senior Access Management Engineer specializing in Cisco Duo to join our implementation team on a full-time basis. This is a fully remote role where we are looking for deep, hands-on experience leading Duo Security deployments, migrations, and integrations — with secondary proficiency in Okta and/or Ping Identity platforms to support broader Access Management engagements.

The Senior Access Management Engineer is responsible for designing, deploying, integrating, and optimizing Duo MFA and access solutions for some of the largest organizations in the US. This role serves as the go-to technical lead for all Duo engagements, owning architecture decisions, integration design, and delivery execution. When Duo engagements are not fully utilizing capacity, this resource will flex into a supporting engineer role on Okta and Ping Identity projects, contributing hands-on technical work under the direction of the engagement's lead architect.

This role sits at the intersection of security, infrastructure, and application integration — ensuring that multi-factor authentication, device trust, and adaptive access policies are implemented securely, reliably, and at scale.
