Overview

We are seeking a Senior Automation Engineer with deep expertise in Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), and enterprise automation engineering. This position is focused on building scalable, automated identity governance solutions that eliminate manual remediation processes and create self-healing identity controls across a large enterprise environment.

This is not an IAM Analyst, IAM Administrator, Help Desk, or traditional System Administrator position. We are specifically seeking engineers who have built automation frameworks, enterprise applications, remediation workflows, and identity governance solutions at scale.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design and develop automated identity governance and compliance remediation solutions
• Build automation that detects and remediates inactive accounts, orphaned identities, policy violations, and directory misconfigurations
• Develop event-driven and scheduled workflows for account lifecycle management
• Automate account disablement, deprovisioning, and compliance enforcement processes
• Create self-healing identity controls and remediation pipelines
• Build integrations between Active Directory, Entra ID, monitoring systems, and governance platforms
• Automate service account management, password rotation, and lifecycle enforcement
• Support least-privilege and just-in-time access initiatives
• Develop reusable automation frameworks that can be deployed across multiple domains and tenants
• Partner with IAM Architects, Security Engineers, and Infrastructure teams to modernize identity governance processes

Required Technical Experience

Active Directory

• Enterprise Active Directory administration and engineering
• User lifecycle automation
• Group management and policy enforcement
• Service account management
• Directory health monitoring
• Security remediation and compliance controls

Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)

• Identity lifecycle management
• Identity governance
• Access management
• Security policy enforcement
• Tenant administration
• Integration and automation

Automation & Software Engineering

Candidates must have hands-on experience building enterprise-grade automation solutions and applications.

Strong experience with several of the following:

• PowerShell
• C#
• .NET
• Python
• REST APIs
• Microsoft Graph API
• Azure Functions
• Logic Apps
• Workflow Automation
• Enterprise Web Applications
• Automation Framework Development

Preferred Experience

• Identity Governance and Administration (IGA)
• Privileged Access Management (PAM)
• Zero Standing Privilege initiatives
• Security Automation
• Compliance Automation
• Large enterprise environments with multiple domains and tenants

Ideal Background

Successful candidates often come from:

• Identity Engineering
• IAM Automation Engineering
• Directory Services Engineering
• Microsoft Identity Platform Engineering
• Security Automation Engineering

Candidates whose experience is primarily Help Desk, Desktop Support, System Administration, IAM Operations, IAM Analysis, or basic Azure AD administration without software engineering and automation development experience are unlikely to be a fit.

Education

Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related technical discipline preferred.
