Job summary

Adyen is seeking a Senior Linux Engineer to strengthen our IAM and security posture across on-premise and cloud environments. You will own access control for humans, systems, and AI agents, applying zero trust, just-in-time, and just-enough access principles.

You will work with Teleport, SPIFFE/SPIRE, and Vault, and collaborate with Security and Compliance teams to improve hardening and audits.

Qualifications

8+ years of hands-on Linux systems engineering in large-scale, high-availability production environments.
Deep knowledge of LDAP and the Linux authentication stack, including SSSD, PAM, and SSH.
Experience turning security principles into enforceable access policies.

Responsibilities

Own the IAM layer of the infrastructure to ensure precise access for humans, systems, and agents.
Maintain and improve IAM infrastructure across on-premise and cloud environments.
Define, refine and enforce access policies and models using zero trust, just-in-time, and just-enough access.
Collaborate with Security and Compliance teams on access reviews, audits, and hardening.
Support and maintain core infrastructure components such as LDAP, Puppet, Ansible, and mail infrastructure.
Act as escalation point for access and infrastructure issues and participate in a blameless on-call rotation.
Share IAM and security knowledge within the team and across the organization.
