Identity and Access Management Engineer

Nordic Investin has been engaged by a partner company to find an Identity and Access Management Engineer. You understand that identity is now part of almost every application, cloud platform and security decision.

The partner is modernising workforce and workload access across a mixed technology estate. You will engineer identity integrations, improve lifecycle controls and help reduce standing privilege.

Security work is expected to reduce real exposure while preserving the organisation’s ability to deliver. The strongest candidates can connect a technical weakness with a credible threat, an appropriate control and a practical path to implementation.

How you will work

You will work directly with the people who design, operate and depend on the systems being protected. Recommendations must identify the threat, the affected asset and a realistic implementation path. The partner values careful evidence, proportionate controls and clear escalation when risk cannot be removed immediately.

You will receive meaningful ownership while working with senior colleagues on the most consequential decisions. The partner expects you to deliver independently within a clear area, ask for context early and contribute ideas grounded in what you observe. There is room to deepen your specialism or broaden toward adjacent responsibilities.

What you will do

• Configure identity providers, federation and single sign on.

• Automate joiner, mover and leaver processes.

• Implement role and attribute based access patterns.

• Support privileged access and access review capabilities.

• Integrate applications using SAML, OAuth and OpenID Connect.

• Investigate authentication and authorisation issues.

What you will bring

• Experience with Entra ID, Okta, SailPoint or a comparable IAM platform.

• Understanding of SAML, OAuth 2 and OpenID Connect.

• Scripting or automation ability.

• Knowledge of directory services and enterprise application integration.

• Security minded troubleshooting and documentation.

• Professional English; Swedish may be useful for stakeholder work.

Experience that would add value

• Privileged access management.

• Identity governance and administration.

• Workload identity in cloud or Kubernetes.

A background that can succeed here

Your background may be infrastructure, service desk, application integration or security operations. We are looking for someone who has moved beyond account administration and can reason about identity flows and control design.

What makes the opportunity interesting

You will work on a capability that affects every employee and many technical systems. The partner offers a strong learning path, meaningful automation opportunities and security outcomes that are easy to see.

The exact partner, employment model, compensation, start date and working arrangement will be explained openly during the process. Nordic Investin will make sure you understand the context, expectations and decision path before you are asked to commit significant time.

The recruitment conversation

During the process, Nordic Investin will focus on concrete decisions you have made: the context you received, the alternatives you considered, the result you observed and what you would change today. You do not need every optional technology if your core experience transfers and you can explain how you would close the gap.

How to apply

Apply with your CV or LinkedIn profile and a short note describing the most relevant system, product or transformation you have helped deliver. Nordic Investin welcomes candidates with different routes into technology and assesses applicants on relevant capability, judgement and potential.
