Overview
A leading quantitative investment firm is seeking an experienced Identity & Access Management (IAM) Engineer to join its Security team. This role will focus on designing, building, and enhancing automated identity and access management solutions across a complex enterprise environment. Working closely with Security, Infrastructure, Application Owners, and HR teams, you will be responsible for identity lifecycle management, application integration, SailPoint engineering, and access governance initiatives. This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on engineer who enjoys building scalable integrations, driving automation, and solving complex identity challenges within a highly technical environment.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and maintain automated user provisioning, modification, and deprovisioning processes.
- Integrate IAM solutions with HR platforms, directories, cloud environments, and enterprise applications.
- Develop and maintain custom identity integrations, including SCIM 2.0 provisioning connectors.
- Build solutions for applications that do not support modern identity standards such as SCIM, SAML, OIDC, and OAuth.
- Develop APIs, middleware, and automation services to facilitate secure identity data exchange.
- Configure, administer, and enhance SailPoint Identity Security Cloud (ISC), including workflows, rules, connectors, and custom extensions.
- Drive automation initiatives to reduce manual access management processes and improve operational efficiency.
- Collaborate with application, infrastructure, and security teams to ensure identity requirements are embedded into application architecture and development practices.
- Monitor and optimise IAM platform performance, reliability, and integrations.
- Support identity governance, access control reviews, risk assessments, and identity-related incident investigations.
- Contribute to IAM policies, standards, and security architecture initiatives.
- Promote Identity-as-Code, Infrastructure-as-Code, and modern IAM best practices across the organisation.
