Senior Identity Infrastructure Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Identity Infrastructure Engineer to design, implement and operate secure, scalable identity and access management services across a complex technology environment. You will play a key role in shaping identity strategy, strengthening authentication and authorisation controls, and ensuring reliable access to applications, platforms and infrastructure. The role will involve close collaboration with security, infrastructure, engineering and application teams to deliver resilient solutions that support business and technical requirements.
Responsibilities will include leading the engineering and administration of identity platforms, directory services, privileged access management, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication and identity governance capabilities. You will develop and maintain integrations using modern protocols such as SAML, OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, while supporting automated provisioning and deprovisioning through APIs and standards such as SCIM. You will establish secure configuration baselines, improve monitoring and alerting, troubleshoot complex incidents, and contribute to access reviews, audit activity and disaster recovery planning. You will also provide technical leadership, mentor colleagues and help define standards, documentation and operational processes.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in identity engineering, infrastructure or security operations, with a strong understanding of directory technologies, authentication mechanisms, role-based access control and least-privilege principles. Experience with cloud identity services, Microsoft Entra ID or equivalent platforms, Active Directory, scripting and infrastructure-as-code will be highly beneficial. You should be comfortable working across hybrid environments, analysing problems methodically and communicating technical concepts to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. A proactive approach, strong ownership, attention to detail and the ability to influence stakeholders are essential. Relevant professional certifications or demonstrable experience in identity, cloud or cybersecurity engineering are desirable.
