As a result of growth in the cybersecurity space, we are looking for an IAM Engineer to join our global enterprise client. This role will play a key role in helping build and maintain the identity and access services that support their global enterprise.

Ideally you have 4+ years of experience maturing cybersecurity or infrastructure solutions, along with solid hands-on time with Azure AD (or similar SSO/Federation/MFA platforms) and directory technologies like Active Directory or LDAP. Strong protocol knowledge (SAML, OAuth, OIDC, SCIM) and comfort coding in at least two languages (PowerShell, SQL, Python, JavaScript, etc.) round out the technical bar.
