Senior Security Engineer (Defender / Sentinel)

Remote - £60,000 - £80,000
UK Applicants ONLY

You'll be the engineer who makes Defender and Sentinel actually work for enterprise customers: deploying them, tuning them, automating around them, and working with SOC Analysts to sharpen what gets detected. This is a hands-on build role at a specialist Microsoft security partner, with clear scope to progress and train as the team grows.

The essentials

• Salary: £60,000 to £80,000
• Work arrangement: Hybrid, mostly remote, with one day per month in the London office
• Role: Senior engineer, sitting in the Microsoft Cyber Engineering team

What you'll actually do

• Implement and support Microsoft security products for customers, primarily Defender and Sentinel, plus the adjacent security suite
• Carry out regular assessments of customer Microsoft tenants, covering configuration reviews, audits, and architecture reviews
• Design, build, and deploy automation across the SOC, from scripting and playbooks within the SIEM to broader workflows that remove manual effort and improve how the SOC operates day to day
• Work with SOC Analysts to improve detection capability and feed those improvements back into the automation you've built
• Research and introduce new technologies into the SOC
• Design and refine engineering standards and best practices, and document security processes
• Help triage and resolve incidents, draft customer-facing reports to a high standard, and support the development of more junior engineers
