Description
Role Purpose
As the Cloud & Endpoint Security Engineer, you are accountable for engineering integrated cloud-connected and endpoint security capabilities to maintain a high security posture across all workspace platforms.
Operating as a cross-domain engineering lead, you will bridge the gap between cloud security services and endpoint telemetry. By managing Defender Vulnerability Management, maintaining Defender for Cloud Apps integrations, and implementing automated security posture controls, you will provide visibility and technical remediation across the workplace ecosystem.
In this role, you will lead and manage the following domains:
Defender for Endpoint & Cloud Integration: Owning the architecture and operational health of MDE cloud capabilities.
Vulnerability & Exposure Management: Implementing and optimizing Defender Vulnerability Management to continuously identify exposure.
Cloud App Security (CASB): Engineering and governing Defender for Cloud Apps to secure SaaS usage and shadow IT.
Security Posture Management: Building posture monitoring tools, compliance reporting frameworks, and automated posture remediation.
Telemetry & Engineering Projects: Leading workplace security engineering projects and providing telemetry integration into central monitoring solutions.
Key Skills & Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent practical experience).
- A minimum of 5–7 years' cybersecurity experience with focus on cloud-delivered endpoint protection, CASB, and exposure management platforms.
- Proven hands-on experience deploying and running unified Microsoft Defender security stacks across cloud and hybrid client estates.
- Relevant industry certifications such as Microsoft Certified: Information Protection and Governance Administrator Associate (SC-400), SC-200, CISSP, or CCSP are highly desirable.
Security Expertise & Architecture
Deep technical expertise in cloud-delivered security solutions, exposure management, CASB architecture, API integrations, and threat vector analysis across hybrid workspaces.
Tooling & Technical Proficiency
Expertise with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE), Defender Vulnerability Management, Defender for Cloud Apps (MDA), Microsoft Sentinel integration, and Security Posture Management tools.
Risk Management & Prioritisation
Ability to leverage vulnerability scoring models (CVSS, EPSS) and asset business context to prioritize exposure remediation across cloud and endpoint boundaries.
Governance, Process & Control Design
Experience designing cloud access policies, sanctioning SaaS applications, and establishing vulnerability management exception tracking mechanisms.
Service Delivery & Operational Management
Track record of managing enterprise-scale security tooling platforms, maintaining seamless API connections, and delivering against operational SLAs.
Data Analysis, Reporting & Insight
Strong data-analysis skills using KQL and API data feeds to create executive dashboards demonstrating security posture improvements and risk trends.
Stakeholder Management & Influence
Effective communicator capable of collaborating with cloud operations, networking, and IT operations teams to implement security posture changes.
Threat Intelligence Integration
Ability to utilize threat intelligence indicators to identify malicious SaaS application usage, unusual tenant activities, and high-risk endpoint vulnerabilities.
Leadership & Execution
Proven execution capability to lead complex engineering projects, translate security outcomes into practical steps, and guide operational teams.
Continuous Improvement & Automation
A drive to automate security checks, vulnerability ticketing workflows (e.g., via ITSM integrations), and cloud app policy adjustments.
Key Accountabilities & Success Measures
Vulnerability & Posture Management Engineering
Accountability: Deploy, operate, and optimize Defender Vulnerability Management to identify, prioritize, and drive technical exposure reduction.
Success Measures: Maintain >95% accurate scan and telemetry coverage across all active cloud-managed devices; Measurable structural reduction in organizational Exposure Score within Defender Vulnerability Management.
Cloud App Security & Shadow IT Governance
Accountability: Architect and manage Defender for Cloud Apps integrations to enforce SaaS governance, detect anomalous cloud behavior, and control unsanctioned applications.
Success Measures: 100% of cloud app traffic monitored and evaluated against security risk policies; Automated block controls enforced for high-risk, unsanctioned cloud platforms.
Security Telemetry & Platform Automation
Accountability: Drive end-to-end security telemetry pipelines between MDE, Cloud Apps, and centralized monitoring tools (e.g., Sentinel/ServiceNow).
Success Measures: 100% platform uptime and event ingestion reliability across security tool integrations; Significant reduction in manual tracking through automated posture and vulnerability ticketing workflows.
