Shape the future of identity. A hands-on senior role for a consultant who thrives on complex challenges.

Your new company

Join a high-profile federal government program delivering critical identity and access management (IAM) initiatives. You'll work in a collaborative, cross-functional team environment with established governance and scope, contributing to a secure and scalable IAM ecosystem. This position will be open to Canberra-based applicants only. The successful candidate must be an Australian Citizen and eligible to obtain a Negative Vetting Level 1 (NV1) clearance.

  • Strong development skills in .NET (C#) and Angular, with proven ability to build and maintain custom applications and integrations.
  • Expertise in IAM protocols (SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect) and integration with Active Directory/Azure AD.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages such as PowerShell or Python for automation.
  • Solid understanding of RBAC/ABAC models and identity lifecycle management.
  • Ability to obtain NV1 security clearance (Australian citizenship required).

Desirable

  • Experience with Microsoft Entra ID and cloud-based IAM solutions (Azure AD, AWS IAM).
  • Familiarity with DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and version control (Git).
  • Exposure to containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes) and microservices architecture.

What you'll get in return

  • Be the IAM authority in a large federal department.
  • Long-term contract with extensions and competitive daily rate.
  • Work on cutting-edge identity security initiatives with national impact.
