Corporate IT Security Engineer
Northwood Space, Torrance, CA
The role
As Corporate IT Security Engineer, you will own the design and implementation of Northwood's identity architecture, ensuring that access to corporate systems, cloud environments, and sensitive government workloads is governed by robust, auditable, and least-privilege controls. This is a mid-level individual contributor role for an engineer with deep Okta expertise and a strong foundation in IAM architecture, SSO, and role-based access control across complex hybrid environments.
You will serve as Northwood's IAM subject-matter expert, designing and maintaining the identity fabric that connects corporate users, contractors, and service accounts to the tools and systems they need — while enforcing the access boundaries required for CUI handling, ITAR compliance, and CMMC Level 2 certification. This role works in close partnership with the Security Engineering Lead, Security Operations Lead, and GRC Lead, and reports to the Head of Security.
