## Description

As a Cloud Security Engineer, you'll help design, implement and strengthen security across Azure and Microsoft 365 environments, supporting critical infrastructure and transformation projects within the NRTS programme.

Working closely with Security Architects, you'll turn security requirements into practical, secure solutions, leading the engineering delivery of cloud security controls across identity, privileged access, governance, networking, monitoring and data protection. You'll also leverage automation and Infrastructure as Code to deliver scalable, secure-by-design solutions, while ensuring platforms remain compliant, resilient and operationally effective.

Alongside hands-on technical delivery, you'll collaborate with clients, engineers and stakeholders, provide security assurance and contribute to the ongoing development of innovative cloud security services and best practices.

Key areas of responsibility include:

 * Implementing and improving Azure and Microsoft 365 security controls.
 * Securing cloud identities, privileged access, networks, workloads and data.
 * Developing automated, repeatable security solutions using Infrastructure as Code.
 * Producing technical designs, documentation and operational standards.
 * Conducting security reviews, hardening activities and technical assurance.
 * Supporting clients and project teams with expert cloud security guidance.

This is a hands-on role for a cloud security professional who enjoys solving complex challenges while working across the full Microsoft security ecosystem.
