Support incident handling, troubleshooting and root-cause analysis where security engineering expertise is needed
Work closely with infrastructure, development, operations, governance and risk teams
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
