Define and apply secure baselines across AWS and Azure and onboard workloads into Defender and posture management
Secure new SaaS and data platforms as they arrive, including SSO and SCIM provisioning through Entra ID
Create reusable patterns, document designs, test controls and escalate risks
What you'll need
Security engineering experience within a transformation programme
A background in a regulated environment, such as financial services, insurance or the public sector
