Azure Security Engineer

My client is looking for an Azure Security Engineer to be the driving force behind maturing security in one of their most mission-critical environments. This isn't about just keeping the lights on; it's about owning security, bringing a vision, and building structural, automated solutions that go far beyond the bare minimum. You will be the expert on

Entra ID ,

Sentinel , and

Defender for Cloud , strengthening security operations, maturing identity and access management, and looking ahead to challenges like software supply chain protection.

You will join a rapidly expanding team (growing to 50+ engineers) to deliver the "biggest and baddest" project in their history: a multi-tenant Azure environment for a highly regulated asset management client. The team consists of highly senior, T-shaped engineers who operate as a "hive mind" with a culture of "engineering anarchy," where

end-to-end ownership

and intrinsic motivation are paramount. While your initial focus will be heavily on security, you are first and foremost an engineer who understands the full picture, from

Terraform

and

Azure DevOps

to

Kubernetes . The impact of your work will be immense, securing platforms that millions of people in the Netherlands depend on.

Your profile:

A strong engineering background in the Azure ecosystem, with a clear specialization and passion for security.

High-level knowledge of Entra ID and its ecosystem.

You need to know this from front to back.

Hands-on experience with

Azure Sentinel

and

Defender for Cloud

is essential.

Proven experience with Infrastructure as Code, specifically

Terraform .

A solid understanding of core engineering fundamentals, including networking, databases, and scripting (e.g., PowerShell).

Are you a true tech enthusiast, a proper nerd who wants to own and drive solutions in mission-critical environments? Do you have what it takes to build and mature Azure security to a level that is "secure as F," mastering everything from Entra ID and Sentinel to software supply chain protection?
