Senior Identity & Access Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Identity & Access Engineer to design, implement and maintain secure, scalable identity services across a complex technology environment. This is an opportunity to take ownership of identity and access management (IAM) capabilities while helping to strengthen security, improve user experience and support organisational growth.
You will lead the engineering and administration of identity platforms, including directory services, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, privileged access management and identity governance. Working closely with security, infrastructure, applications and service teams, you will define technical solutions, manage integrations and ensure that access is provisioned and removed accurately and promptly.
Key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining IAM architecture, standards and operating procedures; automating joiner, mover and leaver processes; configuring role-based access controls; supporting access reviews and audit activity; and investigating and resolving complex authentication or authorisation issues. You will also contribute to incident response, vulnerability remediation, disaster recovery planning and the continuous improvement of identity controls.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in an identity and access engineering or similar security-focused role, with strong knowledge of enterprise IAM principles and technologies. You should have practical experience with directory services, SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect, LDAP and certificate-based authentication, together with an understanding of privileged access and identity governance solutions. Experience developing automation using PowerShell, Python or similar scripting languages is highly desirable.
You will be confident working with cloud and hybrid environments, translating business and security requirements into robust technical designs. Excellent troubleshooting, documentation and stakeholder-management skills are essential, as is the ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences. A methodical approach, strong attention to detail and a commitment to secure-by-design practices are expected. Relevant professional certifications in IAM, cloud security or information security would be advantageous.
