Position Overview
Autodesk’s Cyber Defense team is looking for a Sr. Principal IAM Security Engineer to lead the strategy and execution for modern Identity and Access Management across human and non-human identities, including service accounts, workloads, secrets-backed identities, federated identities, and emerging AI/agentic identity patterns. You’ll design and drive scalable, secure-by-default identity guardrails for workforce and platform/product environments, enabling engineering teams to move fast while reducing systemic identity risk.
You’ll lead key initiatives such as Zero Trust enforcement, Non-Human Identity (NHI) governance, IAM Threat Management and automation of identity workflows, while working across multiple business units to align platforms, reduce risk, and build seamless access experiences.
Key Responsibilities
Identity Strategy & Governance
- Define the enterprise and platform IAM strategy for human identities, NHI, and AI/agent identities, including lifecycle, authentication, authorization, and auditing standards
- Establish identity reference architectures, patterns, and paved roads for product teams and internal engineering
Non-human Identity Security (Enterprise + Platform)
- Build and operationalize controls for service identities, workload identities, API identities, bots, and automation accounts across cloud, CI/CD, and runtime environments
- Drive adoption of short-lived, federated credentials where feasible; reduce static secrets and unmanaged service accounts
- Implement lifecycle governance for NHI: creation standards, ownership, rotation/attestation, inactivity reaping, and incident response playbooks
AI / Agentic Identity Enablement
- Define secure patterns for AI acting on behalf of users or services, including delegated authorization, scoped tokens, and least-privilege access models
- Partner with AI platform teams to implement guardrails: identity provenance, policy enforcement, auditing, and kill-switch mechanisms for misbehaving agents
- Ensure AI identity behaviors are measurable and governable (logging, traceability, approvals for sensitive actions, segmentation of duties)
Authorization, Policy, and Access modeling
- Build/standardize authorization models (RBAC/ABAC/ReBAC as appropriate) across workforce and product systems
- Drive consistent policy as code, access reviews, and privileged access workflows
- Define standards for token scopes, claims, session constraints, step-up auth, and sensitive action protections
Operational Excellence & Incident Readiness
- Improve detection/response for identity threats: anomalous token use, privilege escalation, credential misuse, service-account sprawl.
- Create metrics and reporting for identity posture and platform adoption (coverage, drift, exceptions, time-to-remediate)
- Lead identity-related investigations and post-incident improvements
Leadership & influence
- Serve as a senior technical leader influencing engineering orgs, platform teams, and security; mentor others and raise the bar on identity engineering
- Translate risk into pragmatic engineering requirements; drive roadmaps across multiple teams
Minimum Qualifications
- 10+ years in IAM / security engineering, including designing identity architectures at enterprise scale
- Proven experience securing non-human identities across cloud, CI/CD, and production runtimes
- Deep knowledge of auth standards: OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, JWT, token exchange, federation, and modern workload identity patterns
- Strong authorization design experience: modeling permissions, least privilege, policy enforcement, and access governance
- Experience designing or securing systems where software agents act on behalf of users/services (delegation, impersonation, tool access, constrained execution)
- Ability to define guardrails for agentic actions: approval gates, scoped permissions, auditable trails, and containment strategies
- Strong software engineering fundamentals (APIs, distributed systems, logging/telemetry); ability to review designs and code
- Experience with cloud IAM ecosystems and platform primitives (identity federation, workload identity, secretless patterns, KMS/HSM integration)
- Experience building identity “paved roads” and internal developer platforms (IDP) patterns for identity
- Experience with privileged access management and tiering models for admin access
- Familiarity with CI/CD identity, signing, and provenance controls (build identities, artifact trust, token hardening)
- Drives measurable risk reduction and adoption across orgs
- Sets standards others follow; resolves ambiguous identity problems; leads through influence

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Cybersecurity Jobs at Autodesk Jobs
Align your credentials to Autodesk's environment
Autodesk runs heavily cloud-native infrastructure and SaaS products, so certifications like CISSP, AWS Security Specialty, or Microsoft SC-series carry real weight. Frame your experience around securing cloud environments, not just on-premises networks.
Target roles that map to specialty occupation requirements
H-1B eligibility requires the role to be a specialty occupation tied to a specific degree field. Cybersecurity positions in product security, identity, and cloud security at tech companies like Autodesk consistently meet this threshold under USCIS guidelines.
Search Autodesk's Cybersecurity openings on Migrate Mate
Filter Migrate Mate by company and role type to find Autodesk Cybersecurity listings that are open to visa sponsorship. This saves time spent on roles where sponsorship isn't on the table before you even apply.
Prepare your LCA documentation before onboarding
Your employer files a Labor Condition Application with the DOL before the H-1B petition goes to USCIS. Confirm your work location and start date are locked in, since last-minute changes can require a new LCA and delay your authorization.
Demonstrate hands-on product security experience in interviews
Autodesk's security team protects products used by millions of engineers and designers globally. Interview preparation should emphasize application security, threat modeling, or incident response tied to software products rather than generic enterprise IT security.

Find Cybersecurity at Autodesk JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Autodesk sponsor H-1B visas for Cybersecurity roles?
Yes, Autodesk sponsors H-1B visas for Cybersecurity positions. The company has a consistent history of filing H-1B petitions for technical roles, and Cybersecurity falls squarely within the specialty occupation category USCIS requires. If you receive an offer, confirm sponsorship with your recruiter early so the LCA and petition timeline aligns with your start date.
Which visa types does Autodesk sponsor for Cybersecurity positions?
Autodesk sponsors a range of visa types for Cybersecurity roles, including H-1B, E-3 for Australian citizens, TN for Canadian and Mexican nationals, F-1 OPT and CPT for students, J-1, and immigrant pathways including EB-2 and EB-3 Green Cards. The right category depends on your nationality, degree, and where you are in your immigration journey.
How do I apply for Cybersecurity jobs at Autodesk?
Applications go through Autodesk's careers portal, where Cybersecurity roles are listed under their trust and security or information security teams. You can also find current Autodesk Cybersecurity openings filtered by visa sponsorship eligibility on Migrate Mate, which makes it straightforward to identify roles that fit your immigration situation before you invest time in applying.
What qualifications does Autodesk expect for Cybersecurity candidates?
Autodesk typically looks for a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field, paired with hands-on experience in areas like cloud security, application security, identity and access management, or incident response. Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CEH, or cloud security credentials strengthen your profile. Roles protecting SaaS and cloud-native platforms favor candidates with software-adjacent security backgrounds.
How do I manage the visa timeline when joining Autodesk on an H-1B?
The H-1B process has multiple stages: the DOL must certify the LCA, then USCIS reviews the I-129 petition. Standard processing takes several months, but Autodesk can use premium processing for a faster USCIS decision. If you're transitioning from OPT or another status, build at least 90 days of runway between your offer acceptance and intended start date to account for filing and approval time.
