IAM Security Engineer (AWS AD) | Contract | London or Belfast
We are seeking an experienced IAM Security Engineer to support the design, implementation and operation of secure identity and access management services across cloud and hybrid environments. This is a contract opportunity based in either London or Belfast, with hybrid working arrangements available. You will join a security-focused engineering function responsible for protecting users, systems and data through robust authentication, authorisation and privileged access controls.
The role will focus on administering and enhancing Microsoft Active Directory and AWS identity services, including AWS IAM, AWS Managed Microsoft AD and federated access solutions. Key responsibilities will include creating and maintaining identity policies, roles, groups and permissions; managing joiner, mover and leaver processes; implementing least-privilege access models; supporting single sign-on and multi-factor authentication; and investigating access-related incidents. You will also contribute to access reviews, privileged account management, audit preparation, security monitoring and the development of automation to improve consistency and reduce manual effort. Collaboration with infrastructure, cloud, application and risk teams will be essential, as will the ability to document technical solutions and communicate recommendations clearly.
Applicants should have strong hands-on experience with AWS IAM and Microsoft Active Directory in enterprise or complex hybrid environments. You will need a sound understanding of identity federation, SAML or OpenID Connect, LDAP, Kerberos, MFA, role-based access control, policy evaluation and security best practice. Experience with infrastructure as code, scripting or automation using tools such as PowerShell, Python, Terraform or AWS CloudFormation would be highly beneficial. Familiarity with identity governance, privileged access management, SIEM platforms, security frameworks and cloud compliance requirements is also desirable. The successful contractor will be analytical, dependable and comfortable working independently while managing priorities in a fast-moving environment. A relevant security or cloud certification, such as AWS Security, Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator or CISSP, would be advantageous.
