Solution Architect: Identity & Access Management (IAM) – On-Premise & Cloud

We’re looking for a passionate Solution Architect to join the team at Rabobank in Utrecht. If you thrive on designing secure, scalable identity landscapes and love bridging the gap between high-level strategy and hands-on engineering, we’d love to meet you.

The Gist of the Role

As the architect for our Identity Provider domain, you’ll be the guiding force behind how our bank manages digital identity. You won't just be drafting documents; you’ll be shaping the future of our IAM strategy, ensuring that our on-premise and cloud environments play nicely together while keeping security at the heart of every decision.

Why You’ll Love This Job

Identity is the heartbeat of our digital transformation. By joining us, you’re not just taking on a project—you’re safeguarding the bank. You will act as a bridge, translating complex strategic goals into clear, actionable designs that empower our DevOps squads to build with confidence.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Architectural Leadership: You’ll steer the ship by defining solution architectures that hit that perfect balance between innovation, security, and enterprise standards.
• Guiding DevOps Squads: You’ll be a mentor and partner to our engineers, ensuring that as they build, they’re staying true to the architectural vision.
• Strategic Planning: You’ll help shape the roadmap for our Identity Provider landscape, ensuring we’re ready for the future, whether it's on-prem, hybrid, or fully cloud-native.
• Collaborative Decision Making: As a key member of the IAM Architecture Board and the steering triangle, you’ll help us make tough calls by weighing trade-offs and recommending the best path forward.
• Staying Ahead of the Curve: The security landscape changes fast. You’ll keep a pulse on emerging tech and help us modernize while staying resilient and compliant.

What We’re Looking For

You’re a technical expert who knows your way around Microsoft Entra ID and Active Directory like the back of your hand. You’re comfortable navigating the nuances of federation, PKI, MFA, and disaster recovery. More importantly, you’re a great communicator who can inspire teams, translate technical jargon into business value, and build lasting relationships with stakeholders across the bank.

The Practical Details

• Duration: ASAP through December 31, 2027 (with potential for extension).
• Location: Utrecht.
• Capacity: 1 FTE (36 hours per week).
• Note: This position is not open to ZZP/Freelancers.
• Requirements: Fluency in English is mandatory. Please clearly mention any planned time off in your motivation.
• References: Please indicate in your CV if we may contact an internal reference. If you have worked at Rabobank recently, please share the name and title of your previous team lead.

How to Apply

We want to get to know the person behind the CV. Please include a personal motivation letter detailing how your background and expertise make you the perfect fit for this challenge. Applications are open until November 13, 2026, at 11:00 AM.
