Cloud Engineering & Automation

• Build, support, and operate IAM-related cloud infrastructure and integrations, primarily in Microsoft Azure (AWS experience is a strong plus).
• Develop automation using Azure Automation, Logic Apps, scripting, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to reduce manual effort and operational risk.
• Support cloud-based Windows, Linux, and SQL environments where identity integrations and access controls are required.
• Partner with DevOps and application teams to embed identity and security controls into CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows.

Security, Compliance & Operations

• Apply IAM and cloud security best practices to protect enterprise systems, applications, and data.
• Participate in security reviews, audits, and risk assessments related to identity and access controls.

• 8+ years of experience in Cloud Engineering, and/or Security, with significant hands-on IAM ownership.
• Strong, demonstrable experience with Microsoft Azure (AWS experience is an asset).
• Deep understanding of identity and access management principles, authentication and authorization models, and cloud security best practices.
• Hands-on experience with:
• SAML, OAuth2, OpenID Connect (OIDC)
• RBAC and Privileged Access Management (PAM)
• Conditional Access policies
• Azure Automation and Logic Apps
• User and group lifecycle management
• Experience supporting retail or eCommerce environments; exposure to manufacturing, logistics, supply chain, or shared corporate services is a plus.
• Strong experience working in JIRA and Confluence within agile or DevOps-oriented teams.
