The listing
We're hiring a Cloud Security Engineer to strengthen and operate our Microsoft cloud security stack. This is a hands-on engineering role: you'll build, tune, and maintain the security and compliance controls that protect organizational and customer data while bringing a red-team mindset to find weaknesses before attackers do.
You'll own the day-to-day engineering of our Microsoft Purview, Defender for Cloud, Entra, and Azure monitoring capabilities, translate technical risk into clear recommendations for leadership, and act as a trusted security advisor to internal teams and customers. This role sits at the intersection of security engineering, cloud operations, and governance, ideal for someone who likes to build controls, break assumptions, and measurably improve security posture.
Responsibilities:
- Design, deploy, configure, and maintain Microsoft cloud security and compliance technologies, including Microsoft Purview, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Azure Log Analytics, Microsoft Entra ID, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), and Identity Governance.
- Engineer and continuously improve technical security controls across Microsoft 365 and Azure.
- Automate recurring security and compliance tasks to reduce manual effort and drift.
- Monitor security and compliance posture, and drive continuous-improvement initiatives with measurable outcomes.
- Build, deploy, and maintain Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies across the organisation.
- Monitor AI technology usage and engineer controls to mitigate data exposure, information leakage, and inappropriate use.
- Assess emerging AI-related threats and implement appropriate governance and technical guardrails.
- Partner with internal teams to ensure sensitive data is adequately protected.
- Apply a red-team mindset to proactively identify weaknesses in systems, configurations, processes, and controls.
- Conduct security reviews, exposure assessments, and control-effectiveness evaluations.
- Produce clear, concise reports for leadership covering findings, risk assessments, control gaps, and prioritized remediation recommendations.
- Track remediation and support stakeholders in implementing corrective actions.
- Use Azure Log Analytics and security tooling (e.g., KQL queries, alerting) to detect suspicious activity, trends, and compliance issues.
- Support security investigations and incident response, including analysis, containment, and remediation recommendations.
- Customer & Stakeholder Engagement
- Represent security and compliance in customer calls covering governance, data protection, and control topics.
- Support the compliance team on customer questionnaires, assessments, and security reviews.
- Communicate technical concepts effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.
