• Manage identity system migrations and centralization across legacy federated tenants and services.
• Enroll and manage end user devices in Intune; implement compliance policies (OS version, disk encryption, AV/firewall, Secure Boot/TPM, Defender for Endpoint healthy).
• Deploy Windows Hello for Business with hybrid join, integrate devices with Azure Defender, and manage risk with Azure Purview.

• Specific experience working with cloud PKI, PIV/CAC, or other certificate based authentication solutions.
• Cloud certifications in Microsoft SC-300 or SC-401.

At Leidos, we don't want someone who "fits the mold"-we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, "what's next?" before the dust settles on "what's now."

If you're already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2... good. You'll fit right in.

For U.S. Positions: While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.

The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline onlyand not a guarantee of compensation or salary. Additional factors considered in extending an offer include (but are not limited to) responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity, alignment with market data, applicable bargaining agreement (if any), or other law.
