About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID engineer to lead the hands-on execution of an on-premises Active Directory to Entra ID migration for a large fintech organization. Working under the direction of a solution architect, you will own the build, configuration, migration, testing, and documentation work throughout the project. This role is well-suited for a deeply technical engineer who is comfortable operating with ambiguity in a complex enterprise environment and who has migrated real AD estates before. Experience in banking, financial services, or other regulated industries is a strong plus.

Key Responsibilities

Execute discovery and assessment of the on-premises Active Directory environment and Microsoft 365 tenant, and document findings and dependencies
Contribute to migration design and tool selection alongside the architect
Perform Entra ID configuration, identity synchronization, and authentication setup
Run test migrations, then migrate and validate users, groups, and service accounts
Configure identity security controls including MFA, Conditional Access, and self-service password reset
Support endpoint and device management integration through Microsoft Intune
Produce as-built documentation and deliver administrator training and operational handoff

Required Qualifications

5+ years of hands-on directory services engineering, including extensive experience supporting and troubleshooting on-premises Active Directory (authentication, DFS, GPO, LDAP)
Demonstrated experience executing AD to Entra ID migrations in complex enterprise environments
Strong working knowledge of Entra Connect and authentication methods (Password Hash Sync, Pass-through Authentication, ADFS)
Hands-on experience with Microsoft Intune, including device compliance and Entra ID Join and Hybrid Join
Experience with Conditional Access, MFA, and identity protection in a cloud-first model
Solid grasp of AD security, common vulnerabilities and safeguards, and Tier-0 security boundaries
Understanding of modern authentication (OIDC, SAML, Kerberos) and access control models (RBAC, PBAC, ABAC)
Working familiarity with Azure environments
Ability to author technical documentation and conduct knowledge transfer sessions

Preferred Qualifications

Experience planning and running phased migration waves with defined pilot cohorts and rollback criteria
Familiarity with GPO-to-Intune policy migration
Experience with certificate services and cloud PKI approaches
Prior work in financial services or other highly regulated industries
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent training, education, and work experience

Contractor Requirements

Must be based in the United States and authorized to work without sponsorship
Must be available for occasional on-site travel (expenses covered by the client)
