Location – London (Hybrid working pattern – 3 days in office per week)

Newly created role within a major UK Hedge Fund who are looking for a Senior Security Engineer to build on and expand their IAM and Authentication capability.

First and foremost, they need a Senior level Security Engineer with experience working in cloud-native (AWS/Azure) infrastructure environments, building out CI/CD pipelines, deploying infrastructure/policy-as-code, with a breadth of experience across various cyber disciplines.

But crucially within this role, they are looking for someone who can build and run their global IAM capabilities that secure their environments both internally and externally. You will be responsible for designing IAM policy and governance, introducing policy-as-code as well and integrating IAM with the wider CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code and cloud native services; working with the wider Engineering departments to ensure IAM security is built in from the start.

This is an incredibly rare and exciting opportunity to join one of the most advanced Security Engineering departments and take ownership of one of its most pivotal Security service lines, with freedom and financial backing to introduce novel concepts.

Key Responsibilities

• Build out, operate and lead the global IAM capabilities that secure their environments.
• Lead on the automation of IAM policy and governance through policy-as-code; covering identity standards and audit/attestation workflows.
• Integrate IAM with the wider cloud-native security services, building it into the CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code.
• Work with wider Engineering departments to ensure IAM is embedded into company-wide development projects and a productive priority, not hindrance.

Key Requirements

• Minimum 5 years’ experience in a technical security engineering role, with at least 2 focused on Identity & Access Management (IAM)
• Experience operating in cloud-native (AWS/Azure) environments building out and operating IAM functions.
• Hands-on, practical experience automating IAM Governance and Policy through policy-as-code and integrating into wider Infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with a range of IAM tools and concepts – Saviynt a major bonus but not essential.
• Track record and ability to interact with wider Security and Engineering departments to ensure IAM and Security are built in at development stage as a priority, rather than after-thought.
