The role

A global professional services company needs a senior engineer to own their Azure security and infrastructure.

If your idea of a good day involves tightening conditional access policies, investigating Sentinel alerts, working with Azure DevOps and automating Azure deployments before projects launch - this role is for you. Typical projects are ERPs, CRMs, business mobility and security suite deployments. You’ll protect cloud workloads, harden identities, manage the Microsoft security stack end-to-end, and build the automation that keeps everything running. This is a hybrid DevOps, security, identity and infrastructure architecture and management role with real ownership scope and autonomy.

What you’ll do

  • Implement and monitor cloud identity, security and DevOps processes: Azure DevOps, Defender for Cloud, Sentinel SIEM, DLP, threat protection
  • Manage identity and security: Entra ID, conditional access, RBAC, hybrid AD, B2C
  • Design and maintain Azure infrastructure: networking, compute, storage, microservices
  • Secure and administer M365 (Exchange, SharePoint, Teams) including migrations
  • Automate infrastructure with PowerShell, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines
  • Manage endpoint security via Intune, Autopilot, and CrowdStrike
  • Respond to L3 security and infrastructure escalations

Must have

  • 4+ years in Azure with DevOps, identity management and security focus
  • PowerShell automation and IaC experience
  • Hands-on with Microsoft security stack (Defender, Sentinel, conditional access, DLP)
  • Upper-Intermediate+ English

Nice to have

  • Security certs (AZ-500, MS-500, SC-200)
  • Azure infrastructure certs (AZ-104)
  • DevOps tooling (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Terraform modules)
  • AI-assisted security operations (Copilot for Security)
  • SIEM tuning and incident response experience

What we offer

  • Fully remote across Europe
  • Long-term, stable engagement - not project-based churn
  • Autonomy in a senior international team
  • Compensated on-calls
