Integrate and automate Zscaler connections with identity providers (Azure AD, or others.) for SSO / SAML, SCIM provisioning, and seamless authentication flows.

Define and manage role-based access control (RBAC) and least-privilege policies for Zscaler administration using automated guardrails and policy-as-code.

Build and maintain CI / CD pipelines to deploy and test changes in IAM- and policy-related configurations.

Collaborate with IT security, IAM, and DevOps teams to align Zscaler access models and user management workflows across the organization.

Monitor and audit user / group access and policy assignments for compliance, automating risk detection, deprovisioning, and reporting wherever possible.
