Infrastructure and Security Engineer

This is a newly created role driven by continued growth and increased cloud adoption. It's an excellent opportunity to take ownership of Azure and Microsoft 365 security, ensuring platforms are secure, resilient, and aligned with best practice as the organisation continues to evolve its cloud strategy.

In this role, you'll work closely with the wider Infrastructure team to strengthen security across both cloud and on-prem environments. You'll play a key part in system hardening, incident response, security improvement initiatives, and cloud migration projects.

Responsibilities:

• Review and remediate Microsoft 365 security configurations and Azure landing zones
• Monitor, investigate and respond to security alerts from a variety of tools
• Support incident response and disaster recovery processes
• Harden Windows Server (2019 onwards) and Azure environments in line with best practice
• Monitor network security using a range of security and monitoring tools
• Work alongside infrastructure colleagues to securely administer network hardware including routers, switches and firewalls
• Support vulnerability remediation following penetration testing and audit findings
• Contribute to infrastructure projects, acting as technical lead on cloud migration initiatives such as Azure Site Recovery
• Maintain clear documentation aligned to internal policies and external compliance standards

To be considered, you'll ideally have experience across Azure and Microsoft 365 security, along with a solid grounding in infrastructure and network principles (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, firewalls, IDS/IPS, VLANs). Experience with Active Directory / Entra ID, server hardening, patching, and security tooling would be advantageous.

Exposure to frameworks such as ISO27001, Cyber Essentials Plus or OWASP would also be beneficial, as would Azure certifications (Security Engineer Associate, Solutions Architect, etc.) or broader security certifications such as CISSP, CISM or Security+.

This role can be based in Aberdeen, Edinburgh or Glasgow, with occasional travel between offices as required.

If you're a hands-on infrastructure or cloud security professional who enjoys improving environments, solving complex security challenges, and working in a collaborative team, get in touch for a confidential discussion.
