We are seeking a Principal Engineer, Identity and Access Management to provide technical leadership for the design, delivery and continuous improvement of secure, scalable identity services. In this role, you will define IAM architecture and engineering standards across workforce, customer and privileged access environments, ensuring solutions support business needs while meeting security, regulatory and operational requirements. You will translate complex identity challenges into practical, resilient solutions and act as a trusted technical adviser to engineering, security, infrastructure and product teams.

Your responsibilities will include shaping the IAM roadmap; designing authentication, authorisation, federation and lifecycle-management capabilities; and establishing patterns for role-based and attribute-based access control. You will lead the integration of identity platforms with cloud services, applications, directories and security tooling, while promoting automation through APIs, infrastructure as code and policy-driven workflows. You will contribute to access governance, privileged access management, secrets management, identity threat detection and incident response. The role will also involve reviewing designs, guiding technical decisions, mentoring engineers, supporting delivery teams and ensuring robust documentation, testing, monitoring and operational handover.

You will bring extensive experience engineering and architecting enterprise IAM solutions, with strong knowledge of standards and protocols such as OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML, SCIM and LDAP. Experience with major cloud identity platforms, directory services, privileged access technologies and identity governance tools is highly desirable. You should be comfortable working across complex technical environments, influencing senior stakeholders and balancing security, usability, reliability and delivery priorities. Strong communication, analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, along with a track record of leading technical change and developing secure solutions at scale. Relevant professional certifications in cloud, security or identity are advantageous.
