Job Description

As an Active Directory Engineer within Tech4IAM, you will play a key role in one of Rabobank's most critical identity platforms. You will help shape the future of Identity & Access Management by modernizing our Active Directory landscape, strengthening federation services, and enabling secure access for employees, applications, machines, and emerging AI-driven capabilities.

Your work directly impacts all Rabobank employees. Together with your team, you ensure our identity services remain secure, reliable, scalable, and future-proof in an increasingly complex digital world.

As an Active Directory Engineer, you will be part of the IAM Tribe, responsible for delivering a secure and modern identity fabric across the bank. You will work at the heart of our authentication and identity infrastructure, combining deep Active Directory expertise with modern cloud identity, federation, automation, and AI-related access management challenges.

The world around us is changing rapidly.

You will join a team of experienced identity specialists who are passionate about technology, security, and continuous improvement. Together, we safeguard the digital identity of thousands of Rabobank employees.
