  • Automate security operations and threat response using SOAR & Microsoft security automation tools.
  • Conduct security assessments, harden cloud workloads, and optimize Azure security configurations.
  • Collaborate with DevOps teams to implement secure CI/CD pipelines and container security controls.
  • Stay up to date with Microsoft security advancements and best practices.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft E5 security tools.
  • Expertise in securing Azure workloads and Kubernetes environments.
  • Experience in SIEM log integration (Microsoft security logs to a centralized SIEM).
  • Deep understanding of Azure Security Center, Defender for Cloud, and Sentinel.
  • Strong knowledge of identity security (Azure AD, MFA, PIM, Conditional Access).
  • Hands-on experience with EDR/XDR solutions and Microsoft Defender suite.
  • Proficiency in Kubernetes security (RBAC, network policies, container runtime security).
  • Strong scripting skills (PowerShell, KQL, Python, or Bash) for security automation.
  • Knowledge of Zero Trust principles and security automation (SOAR, Logic Apps, Playbooks).

Required Certifications

Microsoft Security Certifications:

  • SC-200 (Security Operations Analyst)
  • SC-300 (Identity & Access Administrator)
