Key Responsibilities:
* Perform in-depth security and risk assessments for services deployed on Azure and Power Platform
* Document risks in the Risk Register, ensuring accurate linkage to corresponding remediation actions
* Collaborate with engineering teams to track progress on risk mitigation and ensure closure
* Provide technical guidance and hands-on remediation support, including dedicated office hours
* Capture and standardize remediation steps, building reusable guidance for future scenarios
* Analyze security and compliance datasets using tools like Azure Data Explorer (Kusto) to surface insights and summarize risk impact
* Leverage automation to streamline risk tracking, compliance validation, and remediation workflows
* Support and participate in security and compliance campaigns, aligning efforts with corporate and division-wide priorities
* Track and manage assigned work via Azure DevOps, providing timely updates and clear documentation
REQUIREMENTS:
* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline
* CISSP certification or equivalent (e.g., SANS GIAC certifications)
* 5-7 years of relevant industry experience in security engineering, compliance, or cloud risk management
* 5+ years of hands-on experience with Azure, including familiarity with its security architecture and services
* 3+ years of experience in security assessments, threat modeling, and risk analysis
* 1+ year of experience in risk management, with working knowledge of NIST CSF v2 or other relevant control frameworks
* Experience using Azure Data Explorer (Kusto) for compliance and security telemetry analysis
* Experience with automation tools (e.g., PowerShell, Azure Logic Apps, CI/CD integration, scripting) to enhance compliance and risk workflows
* Strong understanding of web application security, threats, and mitigation strategies
* Excellent communication, collaboration, and analytical skills
* Demonstrated ability to provide security and compliance support across multiple teams
Preferred Qualifications:
* Experience with secure code reviews and static/dynamic analysis tools
* Hands-on experience securing Power Platform, including Canvas Apps and Dataverse
* Familiarity with compliance automation frameworks or platforms (e.g., Azure Policy, Microsoft Purview)
The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.
We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.
