Position Overview:

The Active Directory Engineer is responsible for architecting, maintaining, securing, and optimizing Active Directory services and domain controller infrastructure that support enterprise identity management, access governance, and privileged access operations. This role focuses on ensuring directory services are stable, secure, compliant, and highly available while collaborating closely with IAM, security, and infrastructure teams to implement enhancements and resolve issues across the environment.

The ideal candidate will have experience with account classification, defining and implementing security segmentation/blocking strategies, and executing remediation activities across complex AD environments. In addition to project-based work, this individual will serve as a senior resource for day-to-day Active Directory operations, troubleshooting, and overall thought leadership around AD security best practices, governance, and infrastructure modernization.

Responsibilities:

• Design, administer, secure, and support Active Directory forests, domains, trusts, organizational units, Group Policy Objects (GPOs), and domain controllers.
• Develop, test, and implement remediation efforts for domain controllers, including operating system patching, security hardening, configuration updates, and resolution of replication or performance issues.
• Support user identity lifecycle processes (joiner, mover, leaver) by provisioning, updating, and deactivating Active Directory accounts and security groups through integrated IAM workflows.
• Build and maintain role-based and group-based access structures that align with governance standards and least-privilege access principles.
• Collaborate with IAM and PAM teams to support privileged access strategies, delegated administration models, and administrative security group management.
• Monitor and troubleshoot Active Directory environments, addressing issues related to authentication, replication, DNS, domain controller health, and account access incidents.
• Support integrations between Active Directory and identity governance, authentication, certification, and access request platforms.
• Create and maintain operational procedures, standards, runbooks, and technical documentation related to Active Directory administration and domain controller management.
• Participate in change management activities, audit support, incident response, and ongoing improvement initiatives aligned with security and IAM objectives.

Qualifications:

• Strong hands-on experience managing Microsoft Active Directory within large-scale enterprise environments.
• Proven experience implementing fixes and maintenance activities for domain controllers, including patching, security hardening, and production configuration changes.
• Solid understanding of Active Directory security concepts, delegation strategies, and privileged access management.
• Experience supporting Active Directory within a broader Identity and Access Management (IAM) framework.
• Strong troubleshooting abilities across authentication, replication, DNS, account provisioning, and access-related issues.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills with experience operating in regulated or audit-focused environments.
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience integrating Active Directory with identity governance or privileged access management solutions.
• Familiarity with endpoint privilege management and local administrator access models driven through Active Directory group policies or memberships.
• Experience supporting enterprise Active Directory environments spanning multiple domains, regions, or global infrastructures.
