Senior Tech Lead – Identity & Access Management (Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD)

About Formula5

At Formula5, we’re a Microsoft Partner with a focus on Security, Identity, and Data and AI. We help our build secure, scalable, and modern identity solutions that combine technology, security, and trust. We believe in people-first collaboration, clear communication, and excellence in everything we do.

Now, we’re expanding our team with a Senior Tech Lead (Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD) who will play a key role in shaping and governing modern identity and access management across hybrid cloud environments.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Tech Lead in Identity and Access Management with deep expertise in Microsoft Entra ID. You’ll own the architecture, implementation, and governance of identity across Azure, on-prem Active Directory, and hybrid environments. This includes building a modern, scalable identity platform, improving access governance, and leading initiatives that move the organization away from legacy AD dependencies.

This role is ideal for someone who’s confident in both strategy and hands-on work, and who’s ready to partner with DevOps, security, and engineering teams to modernize access management at enterprise scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and implement access governance in Microsoft Entra ID using PIM, Conditional Access, Entitlement Management, and Azure RBAC with proper group lifecycle practices.
• Design secure integration patterns for applications that still rely on classic AD groups, including hybrid group strategies, group writeback, and migration planning.
• Own the full identity lifecycle, including provisioning, de-provisioning, access reviews, and governance workflows.
• Lead modernization work to replace legacy AD group usage with Entra ID native controls and enforce least privilege across Azure and on-prem environments.
• Define, implement, and automate group management policies such as naming standards, ownership rules, expiration, and dynamic membership.
• Integrate Entra ID with SaaS platforms using SCIM or custom provisioning patterns.
• Act as a Level 3 escalation point for complex identity incidents and operational challenges.
• Mentor junior engineers and promote secure identity practices across teams.
• Produce documentation including architecture decisions, runbooks, and governance standards.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience in identity and access management with hands-on expertise in Microsoft Entra ID at enterprise scale.
• Proven experience running hybrid identity environments with Entra Connect, cloud sync, health monitoring, sync rules, and group writeback.
• Deep knowledge of PIM, Conditional Access, Entra ID Governance, Access Reviews, Entitlement Management, and Azure RBAC.
• Experience with dynamic groups, administrative units, and scoped policies.
• Strong automation skills using PowerShell and Microsoft Graph API; Terraform, ARM, or Bicep is a plus.
• Experience supporting or migrating applications reliant on traditional on-prem AD security groups.
• Solid understanding of on-prem Active Directory structures, LDAP, GPOs, and hybrid identity challenges.
• Familiarity with identity standards including OAuth2, OpenID Connect, SAML, and Kerberos/NTLM.

Nice to Have

• Microsoft certifications such as Identity and Access Administrator Associate, Enterprise Administrator Expert, Solutions Architect Expert, or Cybersecurity Architect Expert.
• Experience with Azure Landing Zones or Cloud Adoption Framework identity governance.
• Background in tech lead or architect roles on identity transformation projects.
• Exposure to tools like SailPoint, Saviynt, Okta, Ping, or CyberArk PAM.

Personal Traits

• Ownership mindset with a product-driven approach to identity platforms.
• Strong communicator who can simplify complex identity concepts for non-technical audiences.
• Pragmatic decision making with the ability to balance modern best practices and real-world hybrid needs.
• Security-first mindset.

What We Offer

• Full-time remote work.
  
• International projects with top-tier clients.
  
• Supportive, people-first culture.
  
• Learning opportunities and certifications covered by the company.
  
• Competitive compensation based on experience and skills.
