CIAM Solution Architect (Consumer Identity & Access Management)

Location:

Reading, full-time hybrid working with 3 days in the office

Do you have knowledge in the Consumer IAM domain and are you looking to gain experience in an ever-growing and advanced technology environment? Looking to work within a small and agile team, then this role is for you.

Opportunity to drive impactful projects alongside high-profile global clients across a dynamic and diverse portfolio spanning finance and retail organisations.

Work with a worldwide team where your career development and progression will be supported.

Reporting to the Cybersecurity & Digital Identity Manager, the CIAM Solution Architect will play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between business requirements and technological implementation, ensuring that our systems and applications are scalable, secure, and aligned with our long-term vision and support hybrid work from our Reading office.

Following CIAM SaaS platform onboarding, you’ll work in multidisciplinary, customer-facing project teams composed of architects, project managers, and fellow consultants. Together, you’ll sign off on best-of-breed CIAM solutions for corporate clients. Together with colleagues, you’ll help customers get the most out of the platform. CIAM solutions span a wide spectrum of systems / end-users and are deployed in complex architectures. The ‘usual suspects’ include client-side architects / developers and business users.

After all, they can often provide invaluable empirical information on the needs of their CIAM end users.

CIAM interacts with an extensive spectrum of systems and solutions, so liaising with external vendors (e.g. engineers who build customer portals) is in scope, too. And while you’ll tend to focus on ‘hardcore’ topics (think flow, integration, etc.), we welcome your UX / UI insights. Additionally, we expect you to be security obsessed. Our CIAM solutions need to work for every client, and, by extension, for their customers.

We are seeking candidates who enjoy working autonomously with proven experience in the cyber and digital space who have delivered innovative solutions, services, and products to a diverse range of customers to help them achieve their critical missions securely and effectively. Applicants can include experienced software engineers, senior software engineers, and CIAM Solution Architects.
