The role blends hands-on technical depth with advisory work, helping enterprise engineering teams design defensible cloud foundations, reduce misconfiguration risk, and embed automation across their delivery workflows.
You'll collaborate across multiple technical domains: cloud, identity, network, DevOps, and platform engineering, shaping the guardrails that keep distributed environments resilient and predictable.
The Role You will lead the design, review, and validation of cloud security architectures across Azure-centric and hybrid estates.
Expect a mix of strategy, design assurance, security automation, and hands-on work with identity, policy, IaC pipelines, and monitoring stacks.
