Authorization Framework Integration Engineer

Authorization Framework Integration EngineerContract | On-Site | Dallas, TX---About the Company A leading enterprise authorization and data security company, this organization sits at the forefront of access control innovation — helping large-scale enterprises govern who can access what, across complex application ecosystems and cloud environments. Their technology is embedded in mission-critical workflows across industries, and their engineering teams operate at the intersection of security, architecture, and modern data infrastructure.---The RoleThis is a hands-on contract opportunity for a senior engineer who thrives at the crossroads of security and application integration. You will serve as a key technical resource, partnering with architects, developers, and security stakeholders to embed an enterprise-grade authorization framework across a diverse portfolio of applications and cloud-based data platforms. If you have a sharp eye for access control design, a deep comfort with REST APIs, and the ability to translate complex security requirements into practical integration guidance, this role was built for you.---What You Will Do • Partner with Application Architects to assess integration patterns and security requirements across existing and new application designs • Evaluate application architectures and recommend the most effective approaches for connecting them to enterprise authorization services • Provide hands-on technical guidance to development teams on invoking authorization services from varied application environments • Design and validate access control policies through REST API testing, using tools such as Postman to confirm expected authorization behavior • Diagnose and resolve authorization issues by systematically analyzing API requests, policy evaluation outputs, and access control edge cases • Drive adoption of the enterprise authorization framework across both application and cloud data platform teams • Collaborate cross-functionally with security engineers, data engineers, and application developers to ensure integrations are secure, consistent, and scalable • Identify authorization integration requirements within cloud-based data platform architectures and support teams through implementation and validation---What We Are Looking For • Proven experience with enterprise security solutions and integration patterns • Strong command of authentication, authorization, and access control concepts • Hands-on REST API integration and troubleshooting experience • Proficiency with API testing tools, particularly Postman • Solid understanding of application architecture patterns • Experience designing and validating access control behavior across systems • Working knowledge of cloud-based application environments • Strong analytical, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skillsThe ideal candidate brings a well-rounded background in enterprise security integration — someone who has worked alongside architects and development teams to solve real-world authorization challenges at scale. In this role, you will be expected to move fluidly between high-level architectural conversations and detailed API-level troubleshooting, making both technical depth and clear communication essential. Your ability to translate authorization requirements into actionable integration guidance will directly influence the security posture of critical enterprise systems.---Nice to Have • Experience with Databricks for data platform authorization • Familiarity with Snowflake access control and integration patterns • Exposure to Azure Synapse Analytics environments • Broader data platform authorization experience across cloud ecosystemsCandidates who have worked within modern cloud data platforms — particularly around governing access to large-scale data environments — will find immediate opportunities to apply that expertise here. Familiarity with how authorization frameworks intersect with data engineering workflows is a meaningful differentiator, as a significant portion of this engagement involves extending access control coverage into cloud-native data infrastructure. Prior experience navigating the unique security considerations of platforms like Databricks or Snowflake will accelerate your impact from day one.---What We OfferThis is an on-site contract engagement based in Dallas, TX, offering direct exposure to a sophisticated enterprise authorization ecosystem used across large, complex organizations. You will work alongside experienced architects and security professionals on high-visibility integration challenges, with the opportunity to deepen your expertise in access control design, cloud security, and enterprise-scale API integration. For engineers looking to sharpen their skills at the leading edge of authorization technology, this engagement offers both the challenge and the environment to do exactly that.
