The ideal candidate is someone who can not only identify security risks and recommend solutions but also work directly with engineering teams to implement, configure, and validate security controls.

This is a highly technical, hands-on engineering position, not a purely advisory or management role., * Design, implement, and maintain security controls across Microsoft Azure cloud environments, applications, databases, and networks.

• Review existing and proposed systems, identify security vulnerabilities, assess risks, and implement appropriate mitigations.
• Configure and secure Azure networking, firewalls, virtual networks, private endpoints, identity management, encryption, and access controls.
• Work closely with Cloud, DevOps, Software, and AI Engineering teams to integrate security into platform development and deployments.
• Implement secure authentication, authorization, API security, secrets management, and data protection practices.
• Strengthen infrastructure security through CI/CD security, vulnerability management, monitoring, and incident response practices.
• Support secure enterprise deployments, including customer integrations, data isolation, and compliance requirements.
• Help secure AI/GenAI workflows, including data access, model integrations, and sensitive information handling.

• Knowledge of SOC 2, ISO 27001, or enterprise security compliance requirements.
• Experience supporting enterprise customer security assessments and secure deployments.

What We’re Looking For

**We need an engineer who can turn security requirements into working technical solutions.

For example, rather than simply recommending encryption, firewalls, or network isolation, you should be comfortable explaining exactly how to configure and implement those controls within Microsoft Azure.

The successful candidate will combine strong security fundamentals with practical implementation experience and the ability to collaborate closely with engineering teams.
