  • Build and tune detections, hunt threats, and automate response in Microsoft Sentinel
  • Lead security incident investigation and response, including root cause analysis
  • Run vulnerability management: scanning, prioritization, and remediation tracking
  • Contribute to security policies and standards (NIST, CIS, ISO 27001, SOC 2) and support audits and risk assessments
  • Mentor junior team members and champion security awareness

Requirements

  • 8+ years in information security, with 3+ years focused on Azure and Microsoft 365 security
