Engineering Senior Manager

Senior Engineering Manager, Identity Graph & Signals Engineering

• You are a senior engineering leader with strong technical judgement, people leadership capability and experience across identity, data, AI and platform engineering.

• We are building the next generation of enterprise identity intelligence, connecting fragmented identity data into trusted insights, real-time risk signals and automated security outcomes.

See yourself in our team

We are seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the Identity Graph & Signals Engineering team.

You will lead the development of graph-based identity capabilities, data platforms and services that connect identity information across the enterprise and turn it into actionable security intelligence. The role spans graph technologies, data engineering, real-time processing, cloud-native platforms and identity security.

Do work that matters:

• Lead, coach and grow a high-performing engineering team, building strong technical capability and a culture of reliable delivery.

• Define and deliver the technical strategy for identity intelligence, graph capabilities, signals and supporting platforms.

• Build scalable data pipelines, services, APIs and connected identity models using modern cloud-native engineering practices.

• Integrate identity data from enterprise systems and authoritative sources, with strong controls for quality, lineage and reliability.

• Model identity relationships across workforce, customer, machine and privileged identities.

• Generate real-time signals from authentication, access, behavioural and operational data to support detection, risk analytics and automation.

• Apply graph analytics, data analytics and AI to identify patterns, anomalies and relationships across identity data.

• Drive CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, automated testing, observability and operational excellence.

• Build secure, resilient and scalable solutions while balancing delivery priorities with platform health and technical debt.

• Partner with architects, security leaders, product owners and engineering teams to translate technical complexity into clear business and security outcomes.

• Influence technology direction through strong engineering judgement and evidence-based decision making.

We are interested in hearing from people who have:

• Significant experience leading engineering teams in complex enterprise environments.

• Strong software engineering capability in Java, Python, Go, TypeScript or similar languages.

• Experience building and operating large-scale data platforms, APIs and distributed systems.

• Cloud engineering experience across AWS, Azure or GCP.

• Strong understanding of event-driven architectures, streaming and real-time processing.

• Experience with graph technologies, connected data or relationship modelling.

• Strong data engineering foundations across modelling, ETL/ELT and data quality.

• Understanding of identity and access management.

• Experience delivering across multiple concurrent workstreams.

• Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and drive strategic outcomes.

• Strong people leadership and coaching capability.

Highly regarded:

Experience in any of the following would be valuable, but is not essential:

• Identity security or identity data platforms.

• Amazon Neptune, Neo4j, TigerGraph or similar graph technologies.

• Graph analytics, relationship modelling and connected data architectures.

• Identity governance and administration.

• OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect and SAML.

• Privileged access and machine identity.

• Security analytics, threat detection and risk modelling.

• AI, machine learning or agentic systems.

• Platform engineering and developer experience.

• Real-time data processing and event streaming technologies.

What success looks like

Success in this role means:

• Establishing trusted identity graph and intelligence capabilities across the enterprise.

• Delivering reusable services that support security, risk and engineering teams.

• Generating high-quality signals that improve detection, decision-making and automation.

• Improving the quality and accessibility of connected enterprise identity information.

• Building secure, scalable and sustainable engineering platforms.

• Developing a highly engaged and technically respected engineering team.

• Helping shape the organisation’s longer-term identity, data and AI strategy.
