Job description

We are seeking a Senior Active Directory Architect to support the design, modernization, and standardization of directory services across a complex hybrid enterprise environment.

This role focuses primarily on Active Directory architecture in a multi-domain hybrid landscape. The successful candidate will help define and implement the strategic direction for Active Directory and its integration with Microsoft Entra ID, establishing a secure, scalable, and maintainable model across multiple countries and environments.

The position combines architectural design, technical leadership, and hands-on expertise to improve the current platform, remediate legacy issues, and support modernization initiatives across SYNLAB.

While the primary focus is on on-premises Active Directory and hybrid identity, the role also requires solid understanding of Microsoft 365 identity dependencies, particularly Microsoft Entra ID, Exchange hybrid, and identity-related integration points with endpoint management.
