IAM Security Engineer – Non-Human Identities

As an IAM Security Engineer, you will help Alliander secure and manage the growing number of non-human identities across applications, cloud platforms, OT systems and APIs. By combining identity security with automation, you contribute to a secure and future-proof energy grid.

The energy transition needs you as an IAM Security Engineer

Within our Identity & Access Management Agile Release Train, we are building a new team dedicated to Non-Human Identities (NHI). You will develop technical solutions that identify and reduce the security risks associated with service accounts, workload identities and machine identities. Your work brings together identity security, automation, system integration and software development.

The team will initially focus on reducing risks and technical debt related to service accounts. Over time, its scope will expand to include workload identities, machine identities, certificate management and other machine identity solutions. Through automation, integrations and reporting, you will help Alliander continuously strengthen its security posture.

Together, we are building an energy grid that works for everyone. As an IAM Security Engineer, you will contribute by:

• analysing findings from identity and NHI security platforms;
• developing automated solutions for risk identification, tracking and remediation;
• building dashboards, reports and integrations that provide insight into risks and remediation progress;
• supporting application and infrastructure teams with technical remediation;
• establishing scalable governance processes for service accounts;
• contributing to the development of machine identity and certificate management capabilities.

Building a stronger energy grid together

Alliander consists of several companies working together to develop and manage a reliable, future-proof energy grid for millions of people and businesses across the Netherlands. Everything we do is driven by the needs of those who depend on us.

You will work within the Identity & Access Management Agile Release Train, where we develop secure and resilient IAM solutions for both human and non-human identities. Your work will help protect Alliander’s digital ecosystem while contributing to efficient and reliable operations.
