Lead Engineer Identity
We are seeking a Lead Engineer, Identity to provide technical leadership across the design, delivery and continuous improvement of modern identity and access management capabilities. You will help shape secure, scalable solutions that enable employees, customers and systems to access the right resources at the right time.

Your responsibilities will include defining identity engineering standards, patterns and roadmaps; leading the implementation and operation of authentication, authorisation, single sign-on, privileged access and identity lifecycle services; and improving integrations with cloud platforms, enterprise applications and development environments. You will champion automation, infrastructure as code and policy-as-code to increase reliability and reduce manual effort.

Experience with cloud identity services, directory platforms, privileged access management, secrets management and identity governance is highly desirable. You should be comfortable working with APIs, scripting or programming languages, CI/CD pipelines, containers and observability tooling. Strong knowledge of security principles, risk management and compliance frameworks will support your success. We are looking for an inclusive, pragmatic and collaborative leader who can communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, influence decision-making and deliver robust solutions in a complex, evolving environment.
