About Us & The Role

We are not building a traditional, bureaucratic identity and access management function. We are building a modern, highly automated identity security program—and we need a sharp, relentless operator to build it.

Identity is the new perimeter, and managing how our global workforce accesses enterprise systems is one of our highest priorities. We are looking for a Principal Security Engineer – Identity & Access to help drive our identity evolution alongside our existing senior engineering team. You will be walking into a rapidly evolving ecosystem that has outgrown its early identity frameworks. Your mandate is to take that complex web of legacy entitlements and build a highly scalable, automated identity governance machine.

This is not an "ivory tower" strategy role. We do not need someone to draw Visio diagrams and hand them off to junior admins. We need a pragmatic, high-agency builder who helps design the strategy but has the zero-ego grit to execute it with their own hands.

What You'll Do

• Engineer the Identity Lifecycle (JML & SoD): Take on our workforce identity and access ecosystem. You will engineer a highly automated Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML) machine, implementing robust access certifications, Separation of Duties (SoD), and unified IGA frameworks that scale with our hyper-growth.

• Federation, Zero Trust & Integration: Design and scale our authentication and authorization foundations across cloud, SaaS, and on-premise environments. You will lead identity federation leveraging SAML, OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and SCIM, while driving the adoption of Zero Trust architecture and Adaptive MFA across the enterprise.

• M&A & Enterprise Transformation: As a rapidly expanding global fintech, we acquire and scale. You will lead the identity integration strategy for mergers, acquisitions, and massive enterprise transformation initiatives, securely and seamlessly folding new organizations into our identity ecosystem.

• Zero-Ego Execution: As a senior technical anchor on the team, you lead by example. You will get your hands dirty. You will configure the integrations, write the RBAC policies, engineer the IGA platforms, and untangle access flows yourself.
