Job description

Senior Engineer – IAM Specialist

About The Job

Imagine a world where leasing a car is as seamless as streaming a movie. That’s the future we’re building by creating new solutions that power the automotive finance, leasing, fleet, and mobility sector.

As a senior software engineer, you will shape our core platform and product portfolio to meet unique IAM challenges. You will ensure our IAM solutions are integrated across our foundational platform and product portfolio, aligning the big picture of identity and access across all our systems. It’s about speed, scale, and building a robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) foundation that supports our global ecosystem.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Lead the design, integration and configuration of our IAM foundation using Keycloak to manage identities across a complex business landscape.
• Implement and manage OAuth and OpenID Connect protocols across our platform and products to ensure seamless and secure access.
• Building, improving, and customizing software modules and platform framework to enhance the current solutions or develop new features.
• Collaborate with fellow engineers in an agile Scrum team, participating in stand-ups, backlog refinements, and retrospectives
• Work closely with Product Owners to translate business needs into scalable technical solutions
• Act as the technical lead in IAM discussions and integrations with both internal teams and external customers to align security requirements.
• Contribute to the global developer community, sharing best practices and driving innovation

Your skills and interests

You think in systems, not just code. You understand the “big picture” of where IAM stands within a complex business environment. With a sharp analytical mindset, you tackle problems and design solutions that scale. Collaboration energizes you, whether you’re sparring ideas with teammates or aligning with product owners.

Taking ownership is second nature. You’re proactive, reliable, and driven to deliver high-quality results. Your technical instincts guide you to build with performance and security in mind. And above all, you’re curious, eager to learn, grow, and push boundaries.

What else is expected:

• Proven experience as a Software Engineer with expertise in Java 17, Java EE7, and modern frameworks.
• Strong experience with Keycloak (or similar tools) and identity protocols (OAuth, OIDC, SAML).
• Experience with Microservices architecture, solid understanding of Microservices and relational databases (Oracle, MSSQL, or Postgres).
• Fluent in English, as the role requires interaction with international teams

What we offer you

• Competitive salary package
• Company car with fuel card/ charging card
• Meal vouchers
• Group and hospitalization insurance
• Additional benefits: bike leasing, flexible working hours and hybrid working situation

Join an international, multicultural company with more than 35 years of experience, which doubles in size every 5 years. We encourage a horizontal, open corporate culture where career development and personal growth are central. You benefit from a comprehensive 6-month onboarding, including a dedicated job coach, and receive ongoing learning opportunities. Participate in fun team activities such as after-work drinks, barbecues, family days, and company weekends. Additionally, you work in a modern and easily accessible office, equipped with charging stations for electric cars and bikes, as well as free shared bikes.
