Principal Engineer - Identity & Privacy

Reference: ifw433rgdy56bj1zzr5z

We are seeking a Principal Engineer – Identity & Privacy to provide technical leadership across the design, delivery, and evolution of secure identity and privacy capabilities. You will define architectural direction, establish engineering standards, and guide teams in building reliable, scalable solutions for authentication, authorisation, access management, consent, data protection, and privacy-by-design. This is a hands-on leadership role requiring strong technical judgement, strategic thinking, and the ability to influence engineering and product decisions across a complex technology environment.

You will lead the development of identity and privacy roadmaps, assess emerging technologies, and translate regulatory, security, and business requirements into practical engineering solutions. Responsibilities include designing robust identity platforms and services; improving federation, lifecycle management, privileged access, and policy enforcement; embedding data minimisation, retention, transparency, and user control into products; and establishing patterns for secure data handling. You will review designs and code, define non-functional requirements, support threat modelling and risk assessments, and help teams resolve complex technical challenges. You will also contribute to incident response, operational resilience, observability, and continuous improvement of identity and privacy controls.

The successful candidate will bring extensive experience leading architecture and engineering initiatives in identity, security, privacy, or related domains. You should have strong knowledge of modern authentication and authorisation standards such as OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and SAML, alongside experience with cloud platforms, APIs, distributed systems, encryption, secrets management, and secure software development. Familiarity with privacy regulations and frameworks, data governance, and risk management is highly desirable. Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills are essential, as you will work with engineers, architects, product leaders, legal and compliance specialists, and senior stakeholders. You will be comfortable operating with autonomy, mentoring others, challenging assumptions constructively, and turning complex requirements into clear, sustainable technical outcomes.
