Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolErik Lentz is a Staff Security Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience who excels at running and automating identity, SaaS, and cloud security programs often as a one-person security team. He has deep practical expertise in IAM/SSO, identity governance, workforce lifecycle automation (Okta, Lumos, Opal, Workflows), Google Workspace and cloud platforms, and a history of integrating on-prem Windows domains with modern cloud tooling. At companies like GitLab and Marqeta he has built device trust, email/DNS hygiene, and corporate/non-prod cloud controls while bridging Security, Compliance, and IT ops. Known for creative problem-solving and low-code automation, he frequently removes SaaS sprawl and manual toil with workflow platforms and custom scripts. Unusually for a security engineer, his background spans desktop/VDI optimization, server administration and even English/Philosophy studies, giving him both technical breadth and strong communication skills.
