Job Specifications

We’re hiring a Privileged Access & Identity Security Engineer to join a highly technical, security-first organisation operating in a fast-paced, regulated environment. Identity, privileged access, and secrets are treated here as core security engineering problems, not just compliance controls.

This role sits within the Identity & Access Management (IAM) function, with a strong emphasis on Privileged Access Management (PAM), automation, and secure access to critical systems and platforms.

Responsibilities:

Privileged Access Management (PAM)

Own and operate enterprise PAM platforms (e.g. CyberArk or equivalent)
Design, implement, and maintain privileged access controls across Windows, Unix/Linux, and application environments
Automate onboarding of privileged and service accounts, including credential rotation and reconciliation
Enforce least privilege and just-in-time access principles
Monitor privileged sessions and support investigations into access-related incidents

Secrets & Non-Human Access

Manage credentials for applications, services, and automation workflows
Support secure runtime credential retrieval and rotation
Work with engineering teams to reduce hard-coded secrets and improve secrets hygiene
Contribute to the evolution of secrets management and CI/CD integrations

IAM & Access Controls

Partner with infrastructure, application, and security teams to implement robust access models
Support RBAC and access policy alignment across on-prem and cloud platforms
Maintain clean documentation, standards, and operating procedures

Governance, Audit & Operations

Support access reviews, audit requests, and evidence production
Contribute to incident response related to privileged access or credential exposure
Help mature IAM and PAM processes through automation and continuous improvement

Must Have’s

Strong hands-on experience with Privileged Access Management (PAM)
Deep knowledge of CyberArk (Vault, PSM/PSMP, CPM, Privilege Cloud) or equivalent
Experience automating privileged access onboarding and credential lifecycle
Solid understanding of least privilege, JIT access, and privileged account risk
Background working in regulated or high-security environments
Comfortable operating as a senior individual contributor with real ownership

Nice to have

Exposure to secrets management concepts or platforms
Cloud experience (AWS and/or Azure)
Scripting or automation (PowerShell, REST APIs, etc.)
