Director of Engineering (Vietnam)
Job Description
The number of SaaS contracts and accounts has increased so much that it has become necessary to manage the permissions of each account individually on every dashboard. The more the number of employees increases, the more difficult it becomes to manage them. The number of subsidiaries continues to increase, and each subsidiary has its own IAM (Identity Access Manager, GWS, Azure AD), making it impossible to manage the entire HQ. JOSYS enables HQ to centrally manage and administer disparate IAMs, SaaS, MDM, and SSOs that are contracted by multiple subsidiaries.
