This role combines hands-on security engineering with consulting, automation and the use of AI to make security smarter, faster and more scalable.
You will work with architects, engineers, developers, risk functions and business teams to turn security requirements into practical solutions that work in real life — not just on paper.

• Design, implement, and continuously enhance security controls across firewall, secure web access, VPN, endpoint, DLP, PAM, cloud security, and identity, while ensuring their reliable operation as part of a DevOps delivery model

• Support evaluations, PoCs and rollouts of new security products and services

• Use automation, scripting and AI-enabled tools to improve recurring security processes, analysis, documentation and control effectiveness

• Contribute to security standards, policies, KPIs, reporting and risk-based decision-making

• Support incident handling, troubleshooting and root-cause analysis where security engineering expertise is needed

• Work closely with infrastructure, development, operations, governance and risk teams

Requirements

• Several years of experience in IT security engineering or cloud security.

• Strong knowledge in at least two areas such as network security, endpoint security, Azure / M365 security, identity and access management, SIEM / SOAR, incident handling or security automation

• Practical experience with security technologies such as Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, Purview, DLP, PAM, firewall or secure access solutions

• Experience with scripting or automation, for example PowerShell, Python, Golang or similar

• Good understanding of security-by-design, risk-based decision-making and common frameworks such as ISO 2700x or NIST

• Structured, reliable and solution-oriented way of working

• Strong communication skills and the ability to make security understandable and actionable

• Very good English skills; German is an advantage

• Willingness to participate in 24/7 on-call duty

Nice to Have

• Experience in regulated environments or financial services

• Certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, CISM, AZ-500 or SC-100

Why Join This Role

• Work on security topics that truly matter across cloud, infrastructure, applications and identity

• Shape how AI and automation are used in modern security engineering

• Join a role with a mix of consulting, hands-on engineering and strategic improvement

• Collaborate with experienced teams across IT, development, risk and business

• Help build scalable security solutions with real impact
