We are currently searching for a Cloud Security Engineer T&M:

The Challenge (Responsibilities)

• Own the full lifecycle of security findings and recommendations—from Our Client's security team, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, or other tooling—through triage, remediation, verification, and closure.
• Root-cause recurring issues and implement systemic fixes (policy-as-code, automated guardrails, secure baselines) to prevent findings from reappearing.
• Track remediation SLAs and report on risk reduction and posture trends over time.
• Secure and govern modern authentication flows across the estate: OIDC, OAuth 2.0 with PKCE, JWT validation and handling, and mTLS.
• Administer and harden Microsoft Entra ID: app registrations and Enterprise Application permissions, consent governance, service principals and managed identities, credential and secret hygiene, and least-privilege scoping.
• Design, implement, and continuously tune Conditional Access policies.
• Build and enforce guardrails using Azure Policy and Terraform; maintain secure-by-default infrastructure-as-code baselines and detect/remediate configuration drift.
• Operate Microsoft Defender for Cloud to drive secure-score improvement, remediate recommendations, and manage cloud security posture (CSPM).
• Contribute to security governance: standards, control definitions, exception handling, and audit evidence.
• Secure all cloud and SaaS administrative portals, including Azure, Microsoft 365 admin, and identity providers.
• Strengthen privileged access through MFA enforcement, Privileged Identity Management (PIM) / just-in-time elevation, role minimization, and break-glass procedures.
• Apply security controls to AI workloads, services, and AI agents, including agent/workload identities, tool and permission scoping, and mitigating data-exposure and prompt-injection risks.

Your Profile (Requirements)

• 5+ years in cloud security or security engineering, with deep, hands-on Azure experience.
• Strong, hands-on Microsoft Entra ID expertise: app registrations, Enterprise Apps, permissions and consent, and Conditional Access.
• Solid working knowledge of modern authentication: OIDC, OAuth 2.0 / PKCE, JWT, and mTLS.
• Proficiency with Terraform and Azure Policy for policy-as-code and automated guardrails.
• Experience with Microsoft Defender for Cloud and cloud security posture management.
• A demonstrable track record of root-causing and permanently closing security findings—not just patching them.
• Working understanding of AI, AI agents, and AI security considerations.
• High-Performance Mindset: Resilience, emotional intelligence, and a focus on agile delivery.
• Technologist DNA: A deep understanding of the difference between "coding" and "engineering."

Desired

• Multi-cloud exposure (AWS, GCP).
• Relevant certifications (e.g., Microsoft SC-100, AZ-500, SC-300; CISSP).
• Experience with CI/CD pipeline security, secrets management, and SIEM/SOAR.
• Scripting/automation proficiency with PowerShell or Python.
• Hands-on experience securing LLM-based or agentic systems in production.
• Familiarity with cloud-native foundations or AI coding assistants.

Languages

• Advanced Oral English: For seamless collaboration with global teams.
• Advanced Spanish.

Special Notes

• This is a hands-on engineering and remediation role, not an advisory position. Success is measured by a measurably more secure environment and a shrinking backlog of recurring findings enforced by design.

Work Arrangement

We value flexibility to support your lifestyle. This position is available as:

• Remote
