Senior Security Engineer

Azure Security Lead – Azure | Entra ID | Vulnerability Management | SIEM | Amsterdam [€120K]

[Business Critical IT / Managed Services]

You started on Windows servers, moved into Azure, and became the person everyone asks about security. My client needs two of those.

My client runs business critical infrastructure for large organisations, a good part of it in regulated sectors. Every customer environment belongs to one dedicated team that designs it, builds it and then runs it for years. There is no management layer above the team. One engineer carries the tech lead role, and where security matters most, one carries the security lead role. Next to the customer teams, my client runs its own security operations centre and managed detection and response service.

What you’ll do

You are the person in the team who owns security, and you do the work yourself. It starts with the foundations: you know Windows servers and Azure workloads inside out, so hardening, patching and configuration are not abstract to you. On top of that sits identity in Entra ID, with role based access control, Conditional Access and Privileged Identity Management. You run vulnerability management end to end, from the scan to the fix actually landing, and you decide what gets fixed first. You work with SIEM, SOC, EDR and MDR services, think Microsoft Sentinel, Defender for Endpoint and Defender for Cloud, and you make sure what gets detected is worth detecting. When the customer asks what the risk is, you are the one in the room, and you explain it in plain words. Lead here means technical lead, not manager: no headcount and no performance reviews, because that layer does not exist.
