Milton Keynes | Hybrid (2 days per week) | £70,000 + Bonus + Excellent Benefits

Are you a hands-on Security Engineer who enjoys implementing security controls, improving security posture and working across a broad Microsoft security environment?

We're supporting a well-established UK organisation as they expand their Security Engineering team following the launch of a long-term security improvement programme. This is a newly created position offering the opportunity to help shape and strengthen enterprise security across a modern, cloud-first environment.

About your Role

This is a broad Security Engineering role where you'll work across multiple technologies and security domains rather than being limited to a single product or specialism.

Working alongside Security Operations, Architecture, Infrastructure and Development teams, you'll design, implement and continually improve security controls while supporting projects, reviewing new technologies and helping enhance the organisation's overall security capability.

What You'll Be Doing

• Designing, implementing and improving enterprise security controls
• Supporting security across a predominantly Microsoft Azure environment
• Reviewing and optimising Microsoft security technologies
• Identifying security gaps and driving technical improvements
• Supporting vulnerability management and remediation activities
• Providing security engineering expertise on technical projects
• Improving documentation, processes and security standards
• Working closely with technical teams to ensure security is embedded throughout delivery

• Tenable
• Zscaler
• Enterprise vulnerability management and cloud-native security technologies

• Vulnerability Management
• Security monitoring and logging
• Secure technical change
• Security frameworks including ISO 27001, NIST or OWASP

Experience with Microsoft Defender, Purview, Intune, cloud automation or DevSecOps would be advantageous but isn't essential.

What's in this for you ?

This role offers the opportunity to:

• Join a growing Security Engineering team
• Work on a long-term security improvement programme
• Help influence future security tooling and technical direction
• Work across a broad range of Microsoft security technologies
• Collaborate with experienced security professionals in a highly supportive team
• Make a genuine impact on the organisation's security posture from day one

Package
