Lead Engineer, IAM Lifecycle Management

The Lead Engineer, IAM Lifecycle Management will manage Azure DevOps pipeline engineering and release automation for secure IAM solutions.

You will establish and continuously improve Azure DevOps delivery capabilities for IAM applications, including pipeline architecture, reusable YAML templates, build and release automation, artifact management, automated testing, quality and security gates, environment promotion, deployment approvals, release evidence, operational traceability and rollback readiness.

In partnership with product teams, application owners, HR, security, architecture, operations and audit stakeholders, you will then apply these capabilities to engineer and release secure IAM lifecycle solutions while improving automation, governance and identity-data quality.

Key Responsibilities:

• Implement and enhance Azure DevOps pipeline engineering for IAM solutions, including reusable YAML templates, build and release automation, artifact management, automated testing, code-quality and security gates, secrets handling, environment promotion, deployment approvals, release evidence, end-to-end traceability and tested rollback controls.
• Deliver assigned lifecycle engineering work to agreed scope, quality, security and timelines, identifying delivery risks and dependencies early.
• Collaborate with product owners, architects and engineering stakeholders to translate business, security, regulatory and architectural requirements into scalable, secure and maintainable technical solutions.
• Engineer end-to-end identity and account lifecycle capabilities, including creation, provisioning, modification, suspension, recertification and deprovisioning across on-premises, cloud and SaaS systems.
• Implement and enhance joiner, mover, leaver, rehire, contractor and non-human identity workflows, including trigger events, approval paths, account states, exception handling and recovery controls.
• Integrate authoritative HR and identity sources with directories, governance platforms and target applications using connectors, APIs and event-driven services, while improving source-data quality and reconciliation.
• Create functional and technical test scenarios, maintain requirements traceability and implementation evidence, and support remediation of defects, audit findings and control gaps.
• Develop, enhance and support secure IAM applications using Next.js microfrontends, Express.js and NestJS services, GraphQL APIs and .NET components, applying reusable architecture patterns across the full solution stack.
• Design and deliver accessible, responsive Next.js user interfaces and secure Express.js, NestJS or ASP.NET APIs for IAM lifecycle applications, with reusable components, API versioning, validation, authentication, authorisation, error handling, observability and performance optimisation.
• Support colleagues through technical guidance, peer review, troubleshooting, reusable documentation and knowledge sharing.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong hands-on experience designing and operating Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, including reusable YAML templates, pipeline-as-code practices, artifact and package management, automated unit and integration tests, code-quality and security gates, secrets handling, deployment approvals, environment promotion, release traceability and rollback controls.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience in identity and access management, including implementation and support of identity and account lifecycle capabilities.
• Strong understanding of joiner, mover, leaver, rehire, employee, contractor and non-human identity lifecycle patterns and their associated governance controls.
• Experience designing and configuring provisioning and deprovisioning workflows, approval processes, birthright and role-based access, account-state transitions and exception handling.
• Experience integrating IAM platforms with HR systems, Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, LDAP, databases, SaaS applications and custom applications.
• Knowledge of identity data models, account correlation, reconciliation, access reviews, certification, policy enforcement, orphan-account prevention and auditability.
• Strong hands-on development experience with Next.js, Express.js and NestJS, including microfrontend architecture, TypeScript, reusable user-interface components, secure backend services, authentication and authorisation integration, automated testing and performance optimisation.
