Cyber Security Engineer | Remote / South Wales Area | £72,000 + Bonus + Excellent Benefits
We're supporting a well-established organisation as they continue to strengthen their cyber resilience capabilities across a complex Microsoft-centric technology estate.
This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys building, improving and securing modern enterprise environments. You'll play a key part in enhancing security controls, improving identity and access management, strengthening cloud security and reducing organisational risk through proactive security engineering.
This is not a traditional SOC position. Whilst you'll contribute to threat detection and incident response activities, the focus of the role is designing, implementing and continuously improving security controls across Microsoft technologies and cloud platforms.
What You'll Do
Enhance and optimise Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Sentinel capabilities across the estate
Design and implement security controls within Azure environments
Lead improvements across Entra ID security, Conditional Access, Identity Protection and Privileged Identity Management
Drive vulnerability management activities, remediation planning and risk reduction initiatives
Implement and maintain data protection and information governance controls using Microsoft Purview
Work closely with infrastructure, cloud and project teams to embed security into new and existing technology solutions
Contribute to incident response activities and ongoing improvements to detection capabilities
Provide technical security guidance to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Support compliance against recognised security frameworks including NCSC CAF, ISO27001, NIST CSF and CIS Controls
What You'll Bring
We're particularly interested in speaking with Security Engineers who have experience implementing and improving security controls rather than purely operating security tools.
You'll likely have
Experience in a Security Engineering, Cyber Engineering or Security Infrastructure position
Strong hands-on knowledge of Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Sentinel
Experience securing Azure environments in production enterprise settings
Good understanding of Entra ID security, Conditional Access and identity governance
Practical experience of vulnerability management and remediation programmes
Experience working with security frameworks and technical control implementation
The ability to influence stakeholders and articulate security risk effectively
Why Apply?
This is an opportunity to join a growing cyber function where you'll have genuine influence over security strategy, tooling and control maturity.
Rather than simply operating existing processes, you'll help shape how security is delivered across the organisation, working on a broad range of cloud, identity, data protection and resilience initiatives.
