IAM Security Engineer
We are seeking an IAM Security Engineer to design, implement and maintain secure identity and access management capabilities across a complex technology environment. You will help protect critical systems and data by developing effective authentication, authorisation and identity governance solutions. The role will involve collaborating with security, infrastructure, application and compliance teams to ensure access is appropriately provisioned, reviewed and removed throughout the user lifecycle.
Key responsibilities include managing and enhancing IAM platforms, including directory services, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, privileged access management and role-based access control. You will develop and maintain access policies, workflows and integrations with cloud services, enterprise applications and operational systems. The successful candidate will investigate and resolve access-related incidents, support audit and compliance activities, identify control weaknesses and recommend improvements. You will also contribute to automation initiatives, produce technical documentation and help establish monitoring and reporting to detect inappropriate or anomalous access.
Applicants should have proven experience in identity and access management, information security or a related engineering discipline. Strong knowledge of authentication protocols and standards such as SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect, LDAP and Active Directory is required, together with experience supporting cloud identity services and privileged access controls. Familiarity with scripting or automation using tools such as PowerShell, Python or similar technologies would be advantageous. You should understand security principles, least privilege, access governance and risk management, and be comfortable working with audit requirements and security frameworks. Excellent analytical, communication and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to manage competing priorities and work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
