Azure Entra Administrator

Description

Leidos is seeking a Microsoft Entra/Intune Systems Administrator to join our program in Gaithersburg, MD. This role supports a security-first transformation using Microsoft Entra, aligned to Zero Trust and OMB M-22-09 requirements. You will help harden our Microsoft Entra tenant, enable device-based access with Intune, and support public-facing apps with Entra External ID. This is an exciting opportunity to apply your systems administration skills to identity, endpoint, and access modernization in a FedRAMP/FISMA Moderate environment. You will work independently on moderately complex tasks and collaborate with engineers, project managers, cybersecurity, and application owners.

Primary Responsibilities

Specifically, in this role you will be responsible for:

• Assist in hardening Microsoft Entra ID tenants and accounts, enforce phishing-resistant MFA registration policies, and build conditional access policy architecture.
• Implement and operate identity lifecycle workflows: HR-driven provisioning via Entra Cloud Sync/Connect, group/role standards, Access Reviews, and Entitlement Management.
• 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.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field and 2–4 years of relevant experience; or a Master’s degree with less than 2 years of experience. Additional years of relevant experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
• Hands-on administration experience with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), SAML and single sign on, hybrid and external identities, and custom domains.
• Hands-on administration experience with Active Directory Domain Services.
• Ability to effectively collaborate with various project teams and to provide effective troubleshooting support when problems are unclear or unknown.
• Ability to obtain Public Trust clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Specific experience working with Okta, Azure Sentinel, and/or Azure PIM.
• 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.
