(Senior) Identity & Directory Services Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Identity & Directory Services Engineer to design, implement and support secure, resilient identity platforms across a complex enterprise environment. You will play a key role in managing directory services, authentication and access controls, helping to ensure that users, applications and devices can connect securely and reliably. The role will involve working closely with infrastructure, cybersecurity, cloud and application teams to deliver identity solutions aligned with operational and security requirements.
Your responsibilities will include administering and developing Microsoft Active Directory, Entra ID/Azure AD and related identity services; managing user, group, computer and service accounts; and supporting authentication protocols such as SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect, LDAP and Kerberos. You will contribute to identity lifecycle management, privileged access management, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication and hybrid identity integrations. You will also monitor service health, investigate incidents, resolve complex technical issues and implement improvements that strengthen availability, performance and security. A strong focus on automation, documentation, change control and the continual improvement of operational processes is expected.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in identity and directory engineering within a large-scale or regulated environment, together with strong knowledge of Active Directory, Entra ID and Microsoft security technologies. Experience with PowerShell or other scripting languages, infrastructure automation, conditional access, certificate services and identity governance tools would be highly beneficial. You should be comfortable analysing complex problems, producing clear technical documentation and communicating effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. A proactive approach, sound judgement and a commitment to secure-by-design principles are essential. Relevant Microsoft, cloud or security certifications are desirable, as is experience leading technical projects or mentoring less experienced engineers.
