Location: Amersfoort DIS, Netherlands
Are you an experienced Consumer IAM Architect looking to gain experience in an ever-growing and advanced technology environment? Looking to work within a small and agile team, then this role is for you.
What the role has to offer:
About the Team:
In Europe, Consumer Identity & Access Management (‘CIAM’) is a booming € 5.4 billion market. OneWelcome, now part of Thales- reliable, self-assured, and very human – is ideally positioned to help enterprises simplify the lives of their consumers and business partners. And that’s what the team does each day, every day.
Our opportunity:
Thales Digital Identification Systems (DIS) is one of the Global Business Units located in the United Kingdom where people daily contribute to improving Digital Identification products such as banking card, Identity Cards and Digital Access (IAM).
As our CIAM Solution Architect you’ll quickly claim your rightful position in the Professional Services department. You’ll work in multidisciplinary, customer-facing project teams composed of architects, project managers, and fellow consultants. Together, you’ll sign off on best-of-breed CIAM solutions for corporate clients. Together with these colleagues, you help customers get the most out of the platform. The first is a holistic approach, because CIAM solutions span a wide spectrum of systems/end-users, and are deployed in complex architectures. The ‘usual suspects’ include client-side architects/developers and business users. After all, they can often provide invaluable empirical information on the needs of their CIAM end users.
CIAM interacts with an extensive spectrum of systems and solutions, so liaising with external vendors (e.g. engineers who build customer portals) is often in scope, too. And while you’ll tend to focus on ‘hardcore’ topics (think flow, integration, et cetera), we definitely welcome your UX/UI insights. Additionally, we expect you to be security-obsessed. Our CIAM solutions need to work as advertised for every client. And, by extension, for their customers. Lastly, while we’re open to showing ambitious juniors the CIAM ropes, we’ll really roll out the red carpet for seasoned veteran consultants.
