While our expertise spans multiple disciplines, our method remains consistent: building trust and relationship with people -- whether you are a client, a consultant, or--in this case--a candidate.

No matter what role you come from--whether you're an executive or just starting your career-you can expect our highest level of attention and respect. We want to find the right fit for each role, but we also want you to find the right fit for your career.

We believe the best way to show you what our team is like is to treat you like you're already a part of it. We hope you'll consider joining our team of experienced professionals who are building their careers at Kalles Group—and having fun while doing it.


WHAT YOU WILL DO: 

As a Senior Microsoft Entra ID Engineer, you’ll be on assignment with one of our enterprise clients, helping lead a large workforce identity migration. Authentication for thousands of applications, including many complex SAML integrations, is moving from a legacy identity provider to Microsoft Entra ID. You’ll own the design, build and operation of access management and identity governance in Entra, and you’ll have a lot of autonomy. Your work will include Conditional Access and authentication strategy (phishing-resistant MFA and passwordless), Privileged Identity Management, application SSO and provisioning, B2B access, and the full Entra ID Governance suite: entitlement management, access reviews and lifecycle workflows. You’ll make Entra-native governance work cleanly alongside SailPoint Identity Security Cloud and hybrid Active Directory, and you’ll automate with Microsoft Graph, PowerShell and Infrastructure as Code. You’ll also set engineering standards and mentor other engineers on the team.
