Summary

IAM / RBAC Engineer

We are seeking an IAM/RBAC Engineer with deep hands-on experience in Microsoft Entra ID and Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). This role is responsible for designing, implementing, and governing secure, scalable access controls across Azure environments while enforcing least-privilege principles and maintaining audit-ready identity operations.

Key Responsibilities

RBAC Design and Administration
  • Define and maintain an enterprise-wide Azure role taxonomy
  • Map permissions to roles and enforce least-privilege access via security groups and role assignments
  • Eliminate broad or direct privilege assignments
  • Document role-to-permission mappings and track changes
Remote and Privileged Access Governance
  • Implement Just-in-Time (JIT) access workflows with approval and time-bound permissions
  • Configure and govern Privileged Identity Management (PIM) processes
  • Establish standards for VPN, jump host, and privileged session usage
  • Define and oversee emergency "break-glass" access procedures, including incident notification and review
Identification and Authentication
  • Configure and enforce MFA for privileged roles using strong authenticators (e.g., smartcards, security keys)
  • Provision Microsoft Entra ID administrator roles for Azure services (e.g., SQL)
  • Enforce managed identities for applications such as App Services and Function Apps
  • Centralize identity controls to reduce reliance on local service keys
Authenticator Protection and Secret Hygiene
  • Ensure secure handling and protection of issued authenticators
  • Prevent unencrypted or embedded static credentials in code, images, and configurations
  • Enforce enterprise password and secret management standards
Access Governance and Documentation
  • Author and maintain IAM policies, standards, and operating procedures
  • Conduct periodic access reviews and remediate findings
  • Support audit evidence collection and control testing
  • Maintain asset and data inventories aligned with configuration management standards
Monitoring and Audit Readiness
  • Configure Azure-native monitoring and logging for identity and access events
  • Route alerts to service owners and security teams
  • Validate emergency access usage through incident workflows and post-event review
  • Support audit readiness across access-related controls
Required Technical Skills
  • Advanced knowledge of Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Azure RBAC, security groups, PIM, and JIT workflows
  • Hands-on experience with Azure Policy and resource configurations
  • Experience enabling managed identities and minimizing local credential usage
  • Familiarity with Azure monitoring/logging, AAA concepts (authentication, authorization, accounting), and approval workflow integrations
  • Strong understanding of least-privilege access design in Azure
  • Experience maintaining configuration baselines and accurate asset/data inventories
Qualifications
  • Proven experience implementing least-privilege RBAC design at scale
  • Ability to develop IAM policies and procedures and lead access governance reviews
  • Experience governing remote, elevated, and emergency access processes
  • Strong technical writing, documentation, and stakeholder communication skills
  • Ability to collaborate across engineering, security, and operations teams
Nice to Have
  • Experience integrating identity workflows with enterprise approval and ticketing systems
  • Exposure to application identity patterns and CI/CD secret management controls
  • Background supporting audit readiness for cloud access controls
