I'm pleased to say that we have a senior identity management position open at Simon Fraser University in beautiful 
metro Vancouver, BC.

Simon Fraser University (SFU) is currently recognized by the Maclean’s University Ranking Guide as Canada’s leading 
comprehensive university and has held first or second place in each of the past seven years.  Offering generous 
benefits, SFU is also consistently ranked as one of Canada's Top 100 Employers and Top 20 Family-Friendly Employers.  
SFU has been a pioneer in identity management since the 90’s, and is widely admired for its mature identity management 
system and centralized, comprehensive user identity.

The Principal Software Engineer is the chief software engineer for SFU’s identity and security program.  The incumbent 
is primarily responsible for the architecture of the university identity management system, system integration, and 
software engineering of key components.  The Principal Software Engineer is responsible for the analysis, design, 
modification, testing, installation and maintenance of application programs, integrated systems, and software solutions 
to meet institutional needs.  The incumbent develops architectural requirements and makes recommendations for change 
through close consultation with our academic and research communities, and through involvement with regional, national, 
and international research and education organizations.   This is a unique opportunity, as SFU launches an update to 
its architecture and components, to achieve the University’s vision of the dynamic integration of innovative education, 
cutting-edge research, and far-reaching community engagement.

We seek applicants who are recognized as experts in identity management and software engineering and who want to work 
in a dynamic university environment.  We are committed to excellence and the continuous development of our staff as the 
university and its infrastructure evolve over time.
