Senior Security IAM Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Security IAM Engineer to design, implement and operate secure, scalable identity and access management solutions across a complex technology environment. You will play a key role in strengthening security controls, improving user access experiences and supporting identity governance across cloud, on-premises and hybrid platforms. The position requires a hands-on security professional who can combine engineering expertise with strong stakeholder engagement and a practical understanding of risk.
Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining IAM architecture, authentication and authorisation services, privileged access management, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication and role-based access control. You will assess access requirements, define and enforce identity policies, support joiner-mover-leaver processes and contribute to regular access reviews, audit activities and compliance reporting. You will also investigate and resolve complex identity-related incidents, identify opportunities for automation and continuous improvement, and ensure IAM services are resilient, well documented and aligned with security standards.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in an IAM or cybersecurity engineering role, with a strong understanding of identity lifecycle management, federation protocols and directory services. Experience with technologies such as Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, Okta, CyberArk, SailPoint or comparable platforms is highly desirable, along with practical knowledge of SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect, LDAP, APIs and scripting or automation using tools such as PowerShell or Python. You should be confident working with infrastructure, application, compliance and risk teams, translating business requirements into effective technical controls. Relevant security certifications and experience in regulated or enterprise environments would be advantageous. A proactive mindset, strong analytical skills and the ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences are essential.
