Identity & Data Security Engineer

Reference: 7h1mzchfrykiqns8husz

We are seeking an Identity & Data Security Engineer to help protect critical systems, information, and user access across a complex technology environment. In this role, you will design, implement, and maintain secure identity and access management solutions, ensuring that employees, applications, services, and external partners have appropriate access to the resources they need. You will contribute to identity governance, privileged access management, authentication, authorisation, and data protection initiatives while supporting a strong culture of security and continuous improvement.

Your responsibilities will include developing and enforcing access control policies, managing role-based and attribute-based access models, supporting joiner, mover, and leaver processes, and improving the use of multi-factor authentication and single sign-on. You will monitor identity and data security controls, investigate suspicious activity, respond to incidents, and help identify and remediate vulnerabilities. The role will also involve partnering with infrastructure, cloud, application, compliance, and risk teams to embed security throughout the technology lifecycle. You will maintain clear documentation, contribute to audits, create meaningful security metrics, and support automation that improves control effectiveness and operational efficiency.

The successful candidate will have practical experience in identity and access management, data security, or a closely related engineering discipline. You should be familiar with directory services, federation protocols such as SAML and OAuth, privileged access solutions, cloud identity platforms, and security monitoring tools. Knowledge of access governance, encryption, data classification, zero-trust principles, and relevant security frameworks is highly desirable. Experience with scripting or automation using tools such as PowerShell, Python, or similar technologies will be beneficial. Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to explain technical risks clearly and collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
