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.
