  • Build and enhance secure Azure DevOps delivery pipelines, embedding security controls, governance and compliance requirements.
  • Implement and support Entra ID capabilities including Conditional Access, access governance, application consent management and privileged access controls.
  • Contribute to security monitoring, incident response, policy-as-code, Azure governance and broader security engineering initiatives.

  • Join a large-scale transformation programme where you'll have genuine influence on identity, automation and security strategy.
