Job Description

The IAM Java & SailPoint Upgrade Engineer is a hands-on, six-week (minimum) contractor engagement focused on urgently upgrading and stabilizing the SailPoint IdentityIQ (IIQ) environment from 8.2p4 to a supported, secure target release (8.4p3 or 8.5, subject to compatibility and approval). The engineer

will contribute to technical diagnosis, upgrade execution, and remediation of custom Java/BeanShell jobs and integrations, with particular emphasis on JBoss application-server configuration, deployment, and runtime troubleshooting. The role is application engineering and upgrade delivery, not a standalone system administration assignment. Based on progress and business need, the engagement may be extended into the broader IAM Java & SailPoint engineering responsibilities described below.

Immediate six-week priorities and key responsibilities:

• Assess the existing IIQ 8.2p4 installation, custom eFixes, rules, workflows, scheduled Java/BeanShell jobs, libraries, plugins, integrations, build/deployment processes, and environmental dependencies; document upgrade blockers and risks.
• Validate and execute an approved staged upgrade approach toward IIQ 8.4p3 or 8.5, including intermediate patch/version steps where required; establish rollback, backup, and cutover procedures.
• Provide deep JBoss EAP expertise: assess current version compatibility, Java/JDK requirements, modules, classloading, datasources, JDBC drivers, security settings, deployments, clustering, logging, and performance; implement supported middleware changes or migration as approved.
• Reverse engineer, refactor, rebuild, and test custom Java jobs, BeanShell rules, scheduled tasks, JAR dependencies, APIs, and integration code impacted by IIQ, Java, JBoss, or library changes; replace unsupported/deprecated approaches where practical.
• Troubleshoot failures across Linux, IIQ, Java, JBoss, databases, directories, connectors, and external services; address security vulnerabilities and production stability issues within approved scope.
• Execute regression and operational testing for identity aggregation, provisioning, reconciliation, lifecycle workflows, scheduled jobs, access governance, and critical integrations; support controlled production deployment and stabilization.
• Coordinate daily with IAM staff and vendors; maintain an issue/risk log, provide concise progress updates, and transfer operational knowledge.
