Job description

We are expanding our product security capabilities with a strategic focus on the Identity and Access Management (IAM) domain.

This role will define and drive the architecture, standard and governance that underpin both Enterprise identity platforms and Customer-facing identity solutions.

Joining our Product Security team, you will partner closely with Enterprise Technology and Platform Engineering to document the current identity architecture and define the target state.

This role will improve internal security practices and support compliance requirements.

Success requires strong collaboration, excellent communication skills, and a pragmatic approach to balancing security risks with business objectives in a dynamic environment.

What you will do:

  • Design Dojo's target IAM security architecture, including authentication, authorisation, federation, provisioning and governance.
  • Drive security maturity through vetted patterns and reusable architecture components.
  • Define IAM-related Security Standards and requirements.
  • Partner with Enterprise Technology and Platform Engineering to align enterprise identity systems under a unified strategy.
  • Act as a bridge between Product Security and Enterprise Technology teams to drive consistent identity architecture decisions.
  • Provide security architecture guidance to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and internal risk standards.

Requirements

Do you have experience in Google Cloud Platform?, * 5+ years of experience in security architecture, identity security, or related domains.

  • Strong grasp of identity security principles (RBAC, ABAC, JIT provisioning, PAM, Zero Trust, etc.).
  • Deep understanding of IAM protocols and standards (SAML, OAuth2, OIDC, SCIM, MFA, etc.).
  • Excellent stakeholder communication and influencing skills across technical and business teams.
  • Familiarity with identity platforms (Entra, Auth0, Workspace, GCP, AWS, etc.).
  • Experience designing Enterprise IAM architectures.

Nice to have:

  • Familiarity with regulatory frameworks (e.g., PCI DSS, SOC2).
  • Experience in Fintech or regulated industries.
  • Security Certifications (e.g., CISM, CISSP), IAM vendor-specific certifications.

Dojo home and away

We believe our best work happens when we collaborate in-person. These "together days" foster communication, drive innovation and spark our brightest ideas.

That's why we have an office-first culture. This means working from the office 4+ days per week.

With offices across Europe, we know a thing or two about staying dynamic. Need deep focus? Head to a quiet zone. Big ideas? Collaboration spaces have you covered. Just here for a catch-up? Our social hubs make it easy. Do work that counts, in spaces made for you.

Question: what's curious, relentless, and customer obsessed?

If you're keen to know the answer, you're a third of the way to meeting our Dojo values.

If the following speak to you, let's talk:

  • You're curious. You have a real desire to learn and create.
  • You're relentless. You keep going even when it's easier not to.
  • You're customer-obsessed. You know how important customers are to what you do.
