Senior Azure Security Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Azure Security Engineer to design, implement and continuously improve secure cloud environments across Microsoft Azure. In this role, you will lead the development of cloud security architecture, establish robust security controls and help protect critical data, applications and infrastructure. You will work closely with infrastructure, engineering, development and governance teams to embed security throughout the technology lifecycle, from design and deployment through to monitoring and continuous improvement.
Your responsibilities will include defining and maintaining Azure security standards, landing zones and reference architectures; configuring and managing Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Sentinel, Azure Policy, Entra ID and related security services; and implementing identity, access, network and data protection controls. You will assess risks, investigate security incidents, support threat hunting and vulnerability management, and provide practical recommendations to reduce exposure. You will also contribute to security automation using infrastructure-as-code and scripting tools such as Terraform, Bicep, PowerShell or Python, while ensuring solutions align with relevant regulatory, compliance and industry requirements.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience securing enterprise Azure environments and a strong understanding of cloud security principles, zero-trust architecture, identity and privileged access management, network segmentation, encryption, logging and incident response. Experience with security information and event management, security operations, DevSecOps and hybrid cloud environments is highly desirable. Relevant Microsoft certifications, such as Azure Security Engineer Associate or Cybersecurity Architect Expert, would be advantageous. You should be confident communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, able to influence senior decision-makers and comfortable taking ownership of complex security challenges. Strong analytical, documentation and problem-solving skills are essential, along with a proactive approach to identifying and addressing emerging threats.
