Do you enjoy working as part of an enthusiastic, passionate, and collaborative team?

Join our Identity & Access Management Team!

Join a team building secure, scalable identity capabilities at Softcat. We treat IAM as an engineering problem, focusing on automation, repeatability and building services that scale across the business rather than relying on manual processes.

Success. The Softcat Way.

Passion. Intelligence. Fun. Responsible. Community. These values define Softcat. We help customers succeed by putting our people first and leveraging technology to deliver secure and scalable outcomes.

As a Senior Software Engineer specialising in IAM, you will design and build code-driven identity services and integrations. You'll lead the engineering of identity capabilities such as lifecycle management, access governance and authentication, ensuring they are reliable, testable and scalable.

As the Software Engineer, you'll be responsible for:

• Build and operate IAM capabilities as software, including APIs, workflows and integrations
• Deliver Infrastructure as Code using Terraform for consistent and repeatable deployments
• Design and implement API-driven integrations across platforms such as ServiceNow, HR systems and SaaS apps
• Develop automation using Python, PowerShell or similar to manage identity lifecycle and access control

We'd love you to have:

• Strong software engineering experience delivering production-grade services and integrations
• Proven experience with Terraform and Infrastructure as Code
• Experience building API-led integrations or working with IPaaS platforms
• Strong coding and scripting skills (Python, PowerShell, Bash or similar)
• Solid understanding of IAM concepts such as authentication, authorisation, SAML and OpenID Connect
• Experience with cloud platforms such as Azure or AWS

We also acknowledge that the confidence gap and imposter syndrome are a real thing and can get in the way of us meeting fantastic talent.

Work in a way that works for you

We recognise that everyone is different and that the way in which people want to work and deliver at their best is different for everyone too. In this role, we can offer the following flexible working patterns:

• Hybrid working – 2 days in the office and 3 days working from home
• Working flexible hours - flexing the times you start and finish during the day
• Flexibility around school pick up and drop offs

Working with us

Wherever you work, we want you to experience the freedom and autonomy to realise your potential. You will feel supported by a team that celebrates individuality, encourages different perspectives, and embraces every background.
