Azure Security Specialist
We are seeking an experienced Azure Security Specialist to design, implement and maintain secure cloud environments across Microsoft Azure. You will work closely with infrastructure, application development, data and compliance teams to embed security into cloud architecture, delivery processes and day-to-day operations. The role requires a practical understanding of Azure services, strong analytical skills and the ability to translate security risks into clear, achievable improvements.
Responsibilities will include developing and reviewing Azure security architectures; configuring and managing Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Azure Policy, Microsoft Sentinel, Entra ID and related security services; and implementing controls for identity, access, networking, encryption, logging and data protection. You will monitor security alerts, investigate incidents, support threat hunting and coordinate remediation activities. The successful candidate will also contribute to vulnerability management, security assessments, cloud governance, disaster recovery planning and the creation of technical standards and documentation. You will help automate security controls through infrastructure as code and support secure design reviews for new applications and services.
Applicants should have significant experience in cloud or information security, with hands-on expertise in Microsoft Azure security technologies and services. Strong knowledge of identity and access management, Zero Trust principles, network security, security monitoring and incident response is essential. Experience with PowerShell, Azure CLI, automation tools and infrastructure-as-code technologies such as Terraform or Bicep is highly desirable. Relevant certifications, such as Microsoft Certified: Azure Security Engineer Associate, CISSP, CCSP or equivalent, are advantageous. You should be comfortable working independently, communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and maintaining a risk-based approach in a changing environment.
