Strong background in cloud security engineering, automation, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Experience with Zero Trust, endpoint security, CI/CD pipeline security, and modern cloud-native controls. Ability to lead through influence and technical authority rather than traditional line management. A problem-solver who thrives in hands-on engineering roles and enjoys building scalable, resilient security capabilities. Responsibilities: Architect and implement security controls across Microsoft 365, Azure, Dynamics 365, Kubernetes (AKS), and AI/ML workloads. Lead deployment of Conditional Access, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Purview DLP, Azure Firewall, and related Microsoft security technologies. Embed security into DevOps pipelines, CI/CD workflows, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and containerised environments. Automate detection and response using Microsoft Sentinel SOAR, custom playbooks, automation rules, and telemetry pipelines. Own endpoint security through Intune, ensuring robust device compliance aligned with Zero Trust principles. Harden AKS clusters through Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), secrets management, and runtime protection. Secure AI/ML data pipelines and models, implementing guardrails for model integrity and protection against prompt-injection threats. Engineer secure configurations across Cisco Meraki infrastructure and Umbrella SWG services. Enforce network segmentation, micro-perimeter security, and policy-based routing for hybrid cloud/on-prem environments. Oversee DNS, secure web access, remote access gateways, and edge protection. Act as the senior escalation point for complex threat investigations and major incident response. Lead red-team simulations, threat hunting, and vulnerability assessments. Continuously tune detection logic, improve alert fidelity, and enhance security monitoring pipelines. Provide hands-on guidance and mentoring to junior and mid-level security engineers. Shape, communicate, and drive adoption of the security engineering roadmap. Collaborate with architects, delivery teams, and platform owners to ensure security is embedded by design.
