TL;DR · Sr Security Engineer

Join Adobe’s Identity Architecture & Solutions team as a senior engineer focused on building and operationalizing enterprise-wide identity and SaaS security capabilities. You will design zero-trust access controls, harden privileged access management, and participate in tool deployments for SaaS security posture monitoring. Your daily tasks include developing RBAC and ABAC pipelines, instrumenting identity metrics collection, and publishing dashboards to track privilege drift and misconfigurations. Ideal candidates have experience with enterprise identity solutions like Entra ID/AD, Okta, and SailPoint, a strong grasp of Zero Trust principles, and skills in scripting languages such as Python or PowerShell, along with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform. This role requires collaboration across IT and security teams to deliver measurable outcomes that reduce risk and align with long-term strategic goals.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement zero-trust access controls for workforce and service identities using RBAC and ABAC standards.
  • Migrate administrators to right-sized entitlements, eliminating long-lived elevated access across prioritized platforms like Entra ID.
  • Define baselines and build remediation runbooks for SaaS security posture monitoring tools in environments such as M365 and Slack.
  • Standardize log schemas for identity metrics collection and publish dashboards tracking privilege drift and misconfigurations.
  • Author implementation guides and reference architecture to support a multi-year strategy focused on reducing enterprise risk.

What we're looking for

  • Experience with enterprise identity controls and solutions using Entra ID/AD, Okta, or similar.
  • Strong understanding of Zero Trust principles, least privilege model, and continuous verification in the enterprise.
  • Skills for securing large SaaS tenants (M365, Slack, GitHub, Workday, Google) including Authn/Authz.
  • Ability to influence and collaborate with IT and security teams to develop risk-reducing outcomes.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills for complex problem-solving discussions.
  • Proven ability to deliver measurable technical outcomes aligned with long-term goals.
  • Active team participation and a passion for delivering creative solutions collaboratively.
