SENIOR SYSTEMS ENGINEER

Senior Systems Engineer For Enterprise Cloud Identity & Security

The Senior Systems Engineer for Enterprise Cloud Identity & Security owns the organization's identity, authentication, authorization, trust boundaries, and security posture across both cloud and hybrid identity systems. This role administers Entra ID users, groups, domains, privileged roles, identity governance, hybrid identity integration with Active Directory, and the full authentication and SSO architecture. They define cross-tenant trust controls, device identity posture, Intune policy enforcement, Conditional Access requirements, and the identity and security signals that downstream systems—including Microsoft 365 and Copilot—depend on. This role ensures only trusted users, devices, and external identities can authenticate and gain access under the correct security conditions, establishing the foundational perimeter that all applications rely on for secure operation.
