Senior Security Engineer

Security Lead Azure – Windows | Defender | SOC and MDR | Amsterdam [€120K]

[Business Critical IT / Managed Services]

Most security roles stop at the report. This one starts at the Windows server and only ends when the vulnerability is actually closed.

My client runs the systems large organisations cannot afford to lose, many of them in regulated sectors. Each customer environment is owned by one team that builds it and runs it for years, with no manager above it deciding how things should work. Next to those teams, my client runs its own security operations centre and managed detection and response service. One team is now adding two security leads.

What you’ll do

You come from infrastructure, so you know how a Windows estate behaves when it is patched late, misconfigured or under attack. Here you bring that to Azure. You own vulnerability management for a customer environment: what gets scanned, what gets fixed first and how you prove it is done. You shape identity in Entra ID, you work with Sentinel, Defender for Endpoint and the SOC and MDR services, and you tune detection until the alerts mean something. You change things yourself, in Terraform and PowerShell, rather than handing tickets to someone else. And when the customer asks how exposed they are, you give a straight answer and a plan to go with it.

Your profile

• A Windows infrastructure background before your move into cloud and security
• Several years of hands on Azure in production environments
• Entra ID: Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management, role based access control
• Vulnerability management you ran yourself, from scan to fix
• Hands on with SIEM, EDR or MDR tooling, for example Sentinel and Defender for Endpoint
• Terraform and PowerShell to automate the changes you make
• Fluent English, Dutch is a plus

What’s in it for you

Up to €120K gross per year including holiday pay. A permanent contract from day one, 32 to 40 hours. Hybrid, with three days a week in the office in Amsterdam or at the customer. You pick your own mobility: an electric lease car, a first class public transport card, or the cash equivalent. 25 holidays, and a learning budget with no hard ceiling: you agree the time with your team and the money with your coach.
