Senior Identity Security Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Identity Security Engineer to design, implement and continuously improve secure identity and access capabilities across a complex technology environment. In this role, you will help protect users, applications, infrastructure and data by developing robust identity security controls aligned with modern security principles, including least privilege, zero trust and strong authentication. You will work closely with security, infrastructure, application, risk and compliance teams to translate business and technical requirements into scalable identity solutions.
Your responsibilities will include engineering and operating identity governance, privileged access management, single sign-on, federation, multi-factor authentication and lifecycle management capabilities. You will lead the design of access models, role-based and attribute-based controls, joiner-mover-leaver processes, service account protections and secrets management practices. You will investigate identity-related incidents, identify control weaknesses, support threat modelling and vulnerability remediation, and develop automation to improve access reviews, provisioning, deprovisioning and policy enforcement. You will also contribute to standards, architectural guidance, technical documentation and metrics that demonstrate the effectiveness of identity security controls.
The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in identity and access management, cybersecurity engineering or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of directory services, cloud identity platforms, SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect, LDAP, APIs and privileged access technologies. Experience with scripting or programming languages such as PowerShell, Python or JavaScript, as well as infrastructure-as-code and security automation, is highly desirable. You should be comfortable working across cloud and on-premises environments, analysing complex problems and communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Relevant professional certifications in identity, cloud or information security are advantageous. A proactive mindset, sound judgement, attention to detail and a commitment to continuous improvement are essential.
