Identity & Access Management Senior Engineer

The University of York has set out its vision to become a “University for Public Good” in its 2023 strategy and in IT Services we are actively supporting that commitment.  We’re looking for individuals who want to be part of making a difference using technology to support our vision and to enact change in our services and how we deliver them. Working at a learning organisation, we can offer you a collaborative, flexible environment where growth is supported, teams care for each other and enquiring minds can thrive.

These roles exist with the IT Services department, part of the Directorate of Technology, Estates and Facilities [DTEF].

Identity and Access Management

The IT Services department is critical to the delivery of those objectives, providing innovative, best of breed infrastructure and services that support all aspects of the customer experience.

We want IAM to be at the core of what IT Services delivers to the university, underpinning University's core enterprise systems, such as the virtual learning environment, student record system, finance and HR systems. These are large, complex systems and we will need to work closely with other departments to integrate, adapt and develop IAM within these software applications to achieve our requirements and deliver an IAM service to support our position in a competitive Higher Education environment.  We also develop several in-house products, with examples including our module catalogue, our staff directory and our student mobile app, MyUoY, that we will work with internal teams to integrate into IAM.

Through people progressing on to new roles inside and outside the University we are looking for people to fill the following roles to enable our IAM success.

• IAM Manager
• IAM Senior Engineer
