Job Description

Identity Security Engineer/IAM Security Engineer

Delinea & Saviynt

£600-650 per day outside IR35

5 month contract

Edinburgh/remote hybrid working

UK SC Clearance eligibility required

You'll take ownership of identity security platforms that protect critical applications, while helping shape how IDAM security develops across a complex cloud environment.

This is a five-month contract for an experienced Identity Security Engineer who can get close to the technology quickly. You'll work across PAM, IGA, PKI and cloud identity, with exposure to both Azure and AWS.

The environment gives you meaningful technical scope. You'll support established enterprise platforms including Delinea Secret Server, Saviynt IGA and AppViewX PKI. You'll also help tackle emerging identity challenges around AI and non-human identities.

What you'll be working on

  • Improving and optimising IDAM security products, controls and automation.
  • Supporting the onboarding of critical applications into identity security services.
  • Managing Delinea PAM, Saviynt IGA and wider enterprise identity services.
  • Handling incidents, problem investigations, patching, releases and security risk mitigation.
  • Working with cloud security engineers across Azure, Entra and AWS identity environments.

You'll have room to influence technical decisions rather than simply keep the lights on. The work combines hands-on engineering with architecture, security improvement and operational ownership.

What you'll need

  • Strong enterprise IDAM security engineering experience, including Delinea Secret Server and Saviynt IGA.
  • Strong experience with Entra ID/Azure identity and cloud security environments.
  • The ability to manage enterprise security platforms through incidents, change, releases and ongoing risk management.

Enterprise PKI or AppViewX experience would be useful, but it isn't essential.
