Azure Cloud and Security Engineer

Azure Cloud & Security Engineer Remote — work from anywhere in Europe | Full-time contractor
 

If your idea of a good day involves tightening conditional access policies, investigating Sentinel alerts, and automating Azure deployments before lunch — this role is for you.

• Implement and monitor cloud security: Defender for Cloud, Sentinel SIEM, DLP, threat protection
• Manage identity 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
