Security Engineer (Microsoft Security / Azure)
Milton Keynes | Hybrid (2 days per week) | £70,000 + Bonus + Excellent Benefits
Are you a hands-on Security Engineer who enjoys implementing security controls, improving security posture and working across a broad Microsoft security environment?
We're supporting a well-established UK organisation as they expand their Security Engineering team following the launch of a long-term security improvement programme. This is a newly created position offering the opportunity to help shape and strengthen enterprise security across a modern, cloud-first environment.
About your Role
This is a broad Security Engineering role where you'll work across multiple technologies and security domains rather than being limited to a single product or specialism.
Working alongside Security Operations, Architecture, Infrastructure and Development teams, you'll design, implement and continually improve security controls while supporting projects, reviewing new technologies and helping enhance the organisation's overall security capability.
What You'll Be Doing
- Designing, implementing and improving enterprise security controls
- Supporting security across a predominantly Microsoft Azure environment
- Reviewing and optimising Microsoft security technologies
- Identifying security gaps and driving technical improvements
- Supporting vulnerability management and remediation activities
- Providing security engineering expertise on technical projects
- Improving documentation, processes and security standards
- Working closely with technical teams to ensure security is embedded throughout delivery
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
