Own Security for a Platform That Runs Mission-Critical Operations
Our client, a leading enterprise technology company is hiring a Senior Security Engineer to take ownership of security across their cloud infrastructure and application platform. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants real mandate to find problems — and fix them.
What You'll Do
• Own vulnerability management across Azure, AKS, on-prem systems, and client-facing applications — prioritizing by real risk, not CVE counts
• Lead and coordinate penetration testing engagements, including client-facing UAT/production tests; manage testers and vendors through to closure
• Harden identity infrastructure (Entra ID, Auth0) — drive least-privilege access and reduce standing privileged access exposure
• Secure the Kubernetes (AKS) platform and CI/CD pipelines — container images, cluster config, secrets, network policy
• Build security runbooks and incident response procedures; participate in on-call and lead response during active incidents
• Own compliance and audit readiness (SOC 2, GDPR) end-to-end, including auditor coordination and evidence management
• Lead RCAs and remediation plans for client-impacting incidents
• Partner with DevOps/Engineering to embed security into delivery, not gate it
Must-Have Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree or 8–10+ years of IT technical experience
• 8+ years in security analysis, application security, or cloud security, including 2+ years in a senior/lead capacity
• Strong hands-on Azure security experience (Defender for Cloud, Entra ID, network security, key management)
• Working knowledge of Kubernetes/container security (AKS preferred)
• Solid IAM background: RBAC, privileged access, OAuth/OIDC/SSO
• Experience owning SOC 2 and GDPR compliance programs
• Scripting ability (PowerShell, Python)
• Incident response experience, including on-call rotation
• Strong written communication skills — able to turn findings into decisions
Nice to Have
• CISSP, OSCP, GCIH, or Azure Security Engineer Associate certification
• Experience with EU data residency and multi-region deployment security
Why Apply
This role offers real ownership — visible impact, active roadmap, and the authority to drive remediation, not just report findings. Competitive compensation, full benefits, and strong growth trajectory.
