Are you a seasoned Security Engineer ready to make a significant impact? We are seeking a proactive and skilled individual to join a critical team focused on safeguarding digital assets and ensuring operational integrity. In this role, you will be instrumental in leading and delivering comprehensive security outcomes, directly contributing to the resilience and trustworthiness of groundbreaking technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Identity & Access Management (IAM) + Privileged Access
  
  
  
  • Own and execute IAM operational work including onboarding/offboarding support, account/access management, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), access requests, and access reviews.
  • Design and enforce identity security guardrails (e.g., Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management concepts).
  • Handle escalations for privileged access workflows (e.g., privileged role access/creation, subscription access, sensitive application/access requests) and ensure approvals/justifications are captured.
  
  
  
  
• Security Operations, Incident Triage, and Response
  
  
  
  • Triage and manage security incidents and notifications, including escalations and coordination with external stakeholders as required (e.g., security tooling alerts and central security notifications).
  
  
  
  
• Cloud / Tenant Security & Endpoint Compliance
  
  
  
  • Improve and maintain cloud security posture and compliance, including configuration guardrails and continuous hardening.
  • Contribute to endpoint/device compliance and tenant-level controls (e.g., device compliance concepts, Conditional Access enforcement patterns).
  
  
  
  
• Security Assessments (Software, Partners, New Solutions)
  
  
  
  • Lead or support security assessments for software, partner studios, and new deployments/solutions; ensure findings and outcomes are tracked and actioned.
  • Own/drive partner security assessments and related workflows (including outreach, questionnaires, and escalation paths)
  
  
  
  
• Governance, Risk, Compliance, and Policy Enforcement
  
  
  
  • Create, maintain, and enforce security policies, standards, procedures, and technical guidelines; drive policy-aligned outcomes and formally document exceptions when required.
  • Support central and studio security mandates and compliance expectations (including evidence capture, auditability, and "secure-by-default" operating practices).
  
  
  
  
• Vulnerability & Patch Management**
  
  
  
  • Drive vulnerability remediation and patch management work across relevant systems and services; coordinate ownership, prioritize risk, and track closure.
  
  
  
  
• Security Tooling, Automation, and Operational Excellence**
  
  
  
  • Build and improve automation, scripting, and security tooling to reduce manual effort and increase consistency.
  • Operate with strong process discipline: route work through tickets so automation, Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and reporting apply; document actions with artifacts/links for traceability.
  
  
  
  

Must-Have Qualifications:

• Demonstrated experience in security engineering with hands-on ownership in one or more of: identity & access management, cloud security, incident response, security operations, or security governance.
