Security Engineer - Identity and Access Management (IAM)
We are seeking a Security Engineer specialising in Identity and Access Management (IAM) to help protect critical systems, applications and data across a complex technology environment. In this role, you will design, implement and maintain secure identity solutions that support the principles of least privilege, strong authentication and effective access governance. You will work closely with infrastructure, application, cloud and security teams to ensure that identities and permissions are managed consistently throughout their lifecycle.
Your responsibilities will include administering and enhancing IAM platforms, including identity directories, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, privileged access management and role-based access controls. You will develop and maintain access policies, workflows and automation to support joiner, mover and leaver processes, access reviews and timely deprovisioning. The role will also involve investigating identity-related security events, responding to incidents, supporting audits and compliance activities, and identifying opportunities to improve access controls and reduce operational risk. You will contribute to technical documentation, standards and security architecture, while helping to promote secure access practices across the organisation.
To be successful, you will have practical experience in IAM, information security or a related engineering discipline, with a strong understanding of authentication protocols, authorisation models, directory services and privileged access concepts. Experience with technologies such as Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta, SailPoint, CyberArk, SAML, OAuth or OpenID Connect would be valuable. Familiarity with cloud platforms, scripting or automation using tools such as PowerShell, Python or APIs is also desirable. You should be analytical, collaborative and comfortable explaining technical risks to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. Relevant security certifications or equivalent professional experience are advantageous.
