  • Support IAM projects, migrations, integrations, and service improvements.

Key Requirements

  • Expert-level Active Directory engineering and administration experience.
  • Strong understanding of identity, authentication, and directory services.
  • Experience operating within hybrid on-premises and cloud environments.
  • Microsoft Entra ID experience desirable.
