We are seeking a skilled Senior IAM Engineer to join our team. As a Senior IAM Engineer, you will be responsible for implementing, building and managing Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) platforms in a hybrid setup (Azure and on-prem environments), ensuring automation, scalability, reliability, and security of identity services.
You will be involved in the full lifecycle of new solutions – requirements gathering, design, implementation, testing, and production rollout – along with day-to-day operations, incident response, and continuous optimization.
You will collaborate closely with application teams, infrastructure, security, and stakeholders to deliver high-quality identity solutions on time and to agreed service levels.
Responsibilities:
Install, configure, automate, and administer Omada Identity (IGA) and Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), including upgrades, patching, connector management, and identity lifecycle operations.
Design, implement, and support Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions; define and enforce least-privilege access policies across systems and applications.
Own identity lifecycle processes: joiner, mover, leaver workflows, role-based access control (RBAC), access certifications, and segregation of duties (SoD) controls.
Implement and maintain identity security controls: authentication policies, MFA enforcement, Conditional Access, auditing, and compliance reporting.
Automate routine IAM operations using PowerShell (or other tools) and integration tooling; improve reliability through standardization and repeatable runbooks.
Configure and maintain federated identity protocols (SAML, OAuth 2.0, OIDC) and directory synchronization (SCIM) for SSO integrations with enterprise applications.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support application onboarding, troubleshoot access issues, and advise on identity architecture and governance patterns.
Work independently, mentor others, and contribute to improving the team's technical maturity and operational standards (on-call, incident/problem management).
Support audit and compliance activities by maintaining access review evidence, producing identity reports, and ensuring alignment with regulatory requirements (e.g., ISO 27001, SOX, GDPR).
Requirements:
Strong background in IAM/IGA platforms, particularly Entra ID and/or Omada Identity: installation, configuration, connector management, role modelling, and access certification workflows.
Hands-on experience with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD): user/group lifecycle, Conditional Access, App Registrations, Enterprise Applications, and directory synchronization.
Practical experience with Privileged Access Management (PAM): privileged account governance, just-in-time access, and credential vaulting.
Strong automation mindset with proficiency in scripting for identity operations and integrations.
Nice to have:
Experience with SSO configuration, MFA enforcement, and Conditional Access policy design.
Familiarity with federated identity protocols: SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and SCIM provisioning.
Experience supporting audit and compliance activities (ISO 27001, SOX, GDPR) through access reviews and identity reporting
Exposure to CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) and Infrastructure as Code for identity platform automation.

- Opportunity to be part of a global organization.
