About the Team
Security Engineering is a team of five covering cloud security, detection, and security operations. They work directly in the Azure estate, run Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, Defender for Cloud, and manage tooling via IaC. The team runs quarterly penetration tests and continuously builds detection & response capabilities.
Does this sound like you?
You are a Senior Security Engineer who operates across cloud security, detection tooling, and incident response. You own meaningful parts of the security stack and contribute to Azure hardening. You show up reliably for incidents and pen test cycles. You thrive on visible impact.
What you’ll do
- Maintain and improve our Microsoft Sentinel deployment – writing and tuning detection rules, managing data connectors, and reducing alert noise
- Operate and optimise Defender XDR and Defender for Cloud, including policy management and posture recommendations
- Harden our Azure environment across identity, access management, networking, storage, WAF configuration, and logging pipelines
- Contribute to infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or Bicep) for security tooling deployments and configuration drift management
- Investigate suspicious activity surfaced through Sentinel and Defender – triage, elevate or contain as appropriate
- Support incident response activities including containment, evidence gathering, and post-incident review
- Participate in security risk assessments and threat modeling exercises across new and existing systems
- Coordinate penetration test engagements (scope, logistics, findings review) and work with engineering teams to prioritise remediation
What we’re looking for
- Hands‑on SIEM experience, ideally Microsoft Sentinel; equivalent platforms considered
- Practical Azure security experience across Defender for Cloud, Entra ID, Azure networking, and cloud security posture management
- Experience writing infrastructure-as-code using Terraform or Bicep in a security engineering context
- Ability to contribute to threat modeling and communicate security risk clearly to engineering and product audiences
- Experience supporting or coordinating penetration testing programmes, including managing remediation cycles
- Familiarity with AI security considerations (securing AI workloads, data exposure risks) and/or using AI tooling to augment security engineering workflows
- A growth mindset and genuine curiosity to keep learning
Nice to Have
- SC-200 certification
- KQL proficiency for detection rule authoring and threat hunting
- Experience in a fintech/financial services environment
