Hybrid role, 2-3 days in the office in Handforth, 1-2 days WFH

Type: 12 months Contract

Reports into Infrastructure Manager

Overview

We are seeking a skilled Infrastructure Engineer with a strong focus on Microsoft Entra (formerly Azure Active Directory) to join our IT Infrastructure team. The ideal candidate will play a critical role in architecting, deploying, and maintaining secure identity and access solutions, enabling seamless and secure user experiences across our cloud and hybrid environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and manage solutions built on Microsoft Entra, including Entra ID (Azure AD), Entra Permissions Management, Verified ID, and Conditional Access.
• Configure and maintain identity synchronization (e.g., Azure AD Connect, Entra Connect) and federation services (e.g., AD FS, Entra ID Federation).
• Develop and enforce identity governance policies, including role-based access control (RBAC), just-in-time access, and lifecycle management.
• Manage multi-factor authentication (MFA), self-service password reset (SSPR), and secure hybrid access configurations.
• Implement Conditional Access policies and Microsoft Defender for Identity integrations to enforce Zero Trust principles.
• Collaborate with security and compliance teams to ensure adherence to regulatory and organizational identity standards.
• Provide Tier 3 support and troubleshooting for complex identity and access issues.
• Lead or support migration efforts from legacy identity platforms to Microsoft Entra.
• Contribute to the development of automation and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) for identity configuration and governance using tools like PowerShell, Bicep, or Terraform.

Requirements

Essential:

• 3–5+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering, with a strong focus on identity and access management (IAM).
• Previous experience within a similar scale organisation (10k+ colleagues). Ideally retail, but not essential.
• Deep expertise in Microsoft Entra / Azure Active Directory.
• Experience with Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), and identity lifecycle workflows.
• Hands-on experience with Azure AD Connect, hybrid identity management, and Active Directory.
• Familiarity with scripting and automation tools (e.g., PowerShell, Graph API).
• Strong understanding of Zero Trust security principles.

Desirable

• Microsoft certifications such as SC-300, AZ-500, or MS-100/MS-101.
• Experience integrating third-party SaaS applications with Entra for SSO and provisioning.
• Knowledge of modern IAM concepts like Decentralized Identity (DID) and Verified ID.
• Exposure to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform or Bicep in Azure environments.
