The ideal candidate will safeguard corporate data, ensure regulatory compliance, and proactively mitigate emerging threats in a rapidly evolving technical landscape.

  • Develop and implement robust security architectures for Azure-based systems, including designing secure network boundaries, identity solutions, and multi-layered defense mechanisms.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate security requirements into software development lifecycles and cloud migrations.
  • Evaluate and recommend security tools and frameworks tailored to business needs and regulatory requirements.
  • Monitor Azure environments for suspicious activity using native tools (Azure Security Center, Sentinel, Log Analytics) and third-party solutions.
  • Lead rapid response to security incidents, managing investigation, containment, eradication, and recovery efforts.
  • Conduct root cause analysis and develop strategies to prevent recurrence of security incidents.
  • Administer Azure Active Directory, implementing least-privilege principles, conditional access policies, and multi-factor authentication.
  • Oversee provisioning, review, and de-provisioning of user accounts, service principals, and managed identities.
  • Establish and maintain RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) models across Azure resources.
  • Design and implement data encryption strategies for data at rest and in transit, using Azure Key Vault and managed HSM.
  • Monitor compliance with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS, mapping Azure services to frameworks and reporting on gaps.
  • Conduct regular security assessments, vulnerability scans, and penetration testing of cloud assets.
  • Automate security processes with Azure PowerShell, Azure CLI, and ARM/Bicep templates.
  • Configure, tune, and manage security monitoring and alerting systems.
  • Produce dashboards and reports on security posture, risk assessments, and action plans for senior stakeholders.
  • Educate internal teams on cloud security best practices, offering training and guidance on new threats and technologies.
  • Act as a key liaison between IT, development, and compliance departments to ensure security is embedded in all Azure initiatives.
  • Participate in internal and external audits, preparing documentation and evidence for review.
  • Bachelor's degree and five years of experience in systems engineering or administration or an equivalent combination of education and work experience.
  • In-depth knowledge in applied enterprise information security technologies including but not limited to firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, network operating systems, identity management, database activity monitoring, encryption, content filtering, and Mainframe security.
  • Previous experience in planning and managing IT projects.
  • 5-7 years of professional experience in security engineering, with at least 3 years focused on Azure cloud environments.
  • Strong knowledge of Azure cloud services, architecture, and best practices for securing cloud-native workloads.
  • Expertise in security frameworks (NIST, CIS, ISO 27001) and regulatory compliance requirements.
  • Hands-on experience with Azure Security Center, Azure Sentinel, Azure Active Directory, and other native security tools.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages (PowerShell, Python, Bash) and infrastructure-as-code tools (ARM, Bicep, Terraform).
  • Solid understanding of networking principles, firewalls, VPNs, and hybrid connectivity in Azure.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage security operations, incident response, and vulnerability management in cloud environments.
  • Relevant certifications (e.g., Microsoft Certified: Azure Security Engineer Associate, CISSP, CISM, CCSP) are highly desirable.
  • Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability, accidental death and dismemberment.
  • Tax-preferred savings accounts and a 401k plan.
