RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce's client, a Fortune 100 organization in Houston, TX, is seeking a senior Active Directory Engineer to support a large-scale identity modernization and Active Directory transformation initiative.

* Support mergers, acquisitions, and enterprise-wide identity consolidation projects
* Partner with infrastructure, security, and application teams to modernize legacy environments
* Provide best practices and strategic guidance around AD architecture and governance

REQUIREMENTS:
* 8+ years of Active Directory engineering and architecture experience
* Expertise in AD design, authentication, LDAP, Kerberos, trusts, and SIDHistory
* Experience with multi-forest environments, Entra ID (Azure AD), and hybrid identity
* Hands-on experience leading enterprise AD migrations and modernization initiatives
* Strong understanding of application authentication and identity integration patterns
* Experience in Fortune 500 or large enterprise environments (10,000+ users) preferred
* PowerShell, Quest migration tools, SailPoint, and PKI experience are a plus
