Senior Security Engineer - CIAM XDP
We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer to lead the design, delivery and continuous improvement of secure Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) capabilities across a complex digital environment. You will work closely with architects, software engineers, product teams and security specialists to develop resilient identity services that provide a seamless experience for customers while protecting sensitive data and business assets. The role will involve translating security requirements into practical, scalable solutions across authentication, authorisation, identity lifecycle management, federation and consent.
Your responsibilities will include defining CIAM security patterns and standards; designing and implementing controls for registration, login, multi-factor authentication, passwordless access, account recovery and privileged operations; and integrating identity services with cloud platforms, APIs, applications and third-party providers. You will assess threats and vulnerabilities, support secure solution reviews, contribute to incident response and threat modelling, and ensure that security controls are tested, monitored and continuously improved. You will also provide technical leadership, produce clear documentation, promote secure engineering practices and help shape the roadmap for the CIAM and XDP landscape.
To succeed, you will have significant experience in security engineering, with strong knowledge of CIAM, IAM or related identity technologies. You should be comfortable with standards and protocols including OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML, SCIM and FIDO2, alongside modern application, API and cloud security principles. Experience with identity platforms, policy enforcement, secrets management, cryptography, security automation and infrastructure as code would be highly beneficial. We are looking for someone who can communicate complex technical matters clearly, influence stakeholders at all levels and balance robust security with usability and performance. Relevant professional qualifications or demonstrable equivalent experience are desirable, as is familiarity with data protection requirements, secure software development and agile delivery methods.
