Security Engineer 3

Adobe Adobe · Enterprise · Seattle, WA +1

Security Engineer role focused on Identity Architecture & Solutions, engineering and operationalizing scalable identity and SaaS security capabilities. Responsibilities include implementing Zero-Trust access controls, hardening privileged access, defining SaaS security posture controls, and instrumenting identity metrics collection. Requires awareness of enterprise security controls, familiarity with identity solutions (Entra ID/AD, Okta, SailPoint), and knowledge of IT concepts. Preferred skills include secure access control solutions, scripting/automation, and infrastructure-as-code.

What you'd actually do

  1. Engineer and deploy Zero‑Trust access controls across workforce and service identities. Within the team, implement controls using RBAC and ABAC standards. Including device and posture checks and risk‑adaptive policies for critical services and high-risk scenarios.
  2. Harden privileged access and migrate administrators to right‑size entitlements and eliminate long‑lived elevated access across prioritized services.
  3. Implement SaaS security posture controls by participating reviews and deployments; defining baselines for M365/Slack/GitHub/Workday/Google; building remediation runbooks and posture success measurements.
  4. Instrument identity metrics collection and tracking as prioritized by the leadership team. Including capturing authentication (AuthN)/authorization (AuthZ) and entitlement changes; publishing dashboards for privilege drift, misconfigurations, and access sprawl; coordinating risky events to security alert procedures.
  5. Participation in architecture & standards implementation guides and reference architecture. Including how adherence reduces risk reduction over time.
