As a Senior IAM Engineer, you will lead the evolution and optimisation of our Ping Identity and Microsoft Entra ID platforms, delivering secure, scalable and automated identity solutions across a complex enterprise environment. This is a hands-on technical leadership role where you will partner closely with customer stakeholders to uplift IAM capability and drive best-practice outcomes across authentication, access and identity governance.
You will take ownership of key platform improvement initiatives, champion automation, and strengthen integration across the broader IAM ecosystem. While Ping Identity is the primary focus, this role will also contribute to Privileged Access Management and Identity Governance platforms, providing variety, depth and end-to-end IAM exposure.

Supporting and maintaining integrations with upstream and downstream systems such as HR platforms and enterprise applications
Monitoring and continuously improving IAM platforms supporting large-scale identity populations (40K+ identities)
Embedding strong security controls aligned to least privilege, zero trust and identity-first security principles
Supporting incident response, technical change, and continuous service improvement initiatives
Acting as a trusted technical advisor to stakeholders across security, infrastructure and business teams
What you Will Bring to the Table:
Strong hands-on experience with Ping Identity in a production enterprise environment (essential)
Proven experience with Microsoft Entra ID, Azure AD and hybrid identity architectures
Hands-on exposure to CyberArk PAM and/or Saviynt or SailPoint IGA platforms
Solid understanding of authentication, federation, MFA, access governance and identity lifecycle management

Experience integrating IAM platforms with HR systems and enterprise applications
Working knowledge of ITIL and change management practices
Strong problem-solving skills, stakeholder engagement capability and a proactive, improvement-focused mindset
