Senior Azure Security Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Azure Security Engineer to lead the design, implementation and continuous improvement of secure cloud environments across Microsoft Azure. You will work closely with architecture, infrastructure, development and governance teams to ensure that security is embedded throughout the full technology lifecycle. The role requires a strong understanding of cloud security principles, hands-on engineering capability and the confidence to provide expert guidance on complex technical and operational challenges.
Key responsibilities include designing and maintaining Azure security architectures; implementing identity and access management controls using Microsoft Entra ID, role-based access control, privileged identity management and conditional access; and configuring security capabilities such as Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Sentinel, Azure Policy, Key Vault and network security controls. You will develop and maintain security standards, reference architectures and technical documentation, while supporting threat modelling, vulnerability management, incident response and security investigations. You will also monitor cloud environments for misconfiguration and suspicious activity, recommend remediation, and help automate security controls through infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience securing enterprise Azure environments and a strong knowledge of cloud networking, encryption, logging, monitoring and regulatory compliance. Experience with security operations, SIEM technologies, DevSecOps, PowerShell, Python, Terraform or similar automation tools is highly desirable. Relevant Microsoft certifications, such as Azure Security Engineer Associate or Cybersecurity Architect Expert, would be advantageous. You should be an analytical and collaborative professional who can communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, influence secure design decisions and deliver practical solutions in a changing environment.
