IDEXX’s Cyber Security and Information Security teams enable a resilient, adaptable, and security-aware enterprise—supporting the technology that delivers trusted products and solutions to customers worldwide. The Customer Identity & Access Management (CIAM) Security Architecture Lead is a senior, high-impact role within the Information Security organization , serving as the primary architectural authority and technical visionary for customer identity across IDEXX’s customer-facing ecosystem. This role is responsible for assessing, strengthening, and evolving a secure, scalable, and unified CIAM architecture that supports multiple products, customer types, and integration models—while delivering a consistent, friction-aware customer experience. IDEXX has an existing Auth0 implementation in place; however, this role will lead a comprehensive review and re-architecture of the current environment to ensure it is securely implemented, properly configured, and aligned to enterprise-scale requirements and long-term CIAM vision. While Auth0 is the current CIAM platform, this role maintains a platform-agnostic security architecture perspective, ensuring IDEXX can evolve, extend, or transition CIAM platforms as business, risk, or regulatory needs change . You will bridge executive strategy and hands-on engineering execution—defining not only what is built, but how customer identity integrates into IDEXX’s broader cyber security architecture, ensuring identity is a business enabler, not a constraint.
