IAM Security Engineer
We are seeking an IAM Security Engineer to design, implement and maintain secure identity and access management solutions across a complex technology environment. You will help protect critical systems and data by ensuring that users, applications and devices receive appropriate access based on business requirements and security principles. Working closely with cybersecurity, infrastructure, application and compliance teams, you will contribute to the continuous improvement of identity security controls and operational processes.
Your responsibilities will include administering and enhancing identity governance, access management, privileged access management and single sign-on capabilities. You will support the full identity lifecycle, including joiner, mover and leaver processes, access requests, approvals, certifications and role management. The role will involve integrating cloud and on-premises platforms, configuring authentication and authorisation controls, supporting multi-factor authentication, and monitoring identity-related events for suspicious activity. You will investigate incidents, troubleshoot access issues, develop automation using scripting or APIs, and maintain clear technical documentation, standards and procedures.
The successful candidate will have practical experience in IAM, cybersecurity or a related engineering discipline, with knowledge of directory services, federation protocols and modern authentication technologies such as SAML, OAuth2 and OpenID Connect. Experience with platforms such as Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta, SailPoint, CyberArk or comparable solutions would be advantageous. You should understand least-privilege access, role-based access control, segregation of duties, privileged account security and relevant data protection principles. Strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to manage competing priorities and collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders. Relevant security or cloud certifications are desirable.
