At SecurityBricks, we’re not just checking boxes—we’re securing the future. As a Senior Microsoft Security Engineer, you’ll work with cutting-edge Microsoft tools, support high-impact compliance frameworks like FedRAMP and CMMC, and help shape the security posture of both public and private sector organizations.

Why This Role Stands Out

    • Be the go-to Microsoft security expert on a team that values innovation and expertise.
    • Join a recognized leader in government and cloud security (FedRAMP 3PAO, CMMC C3PAO, Microsoft Government Cloud Partner).
    • Get hands-on with real impact: influence architecture, run demos, lead client solutions, and shape cloud security strategy.
    • Work with forward-thinking professionals in a culture that values learning, agility, and purpose.

What You’ll Do

    • Own the technical relationship with clients, from pre-sales to solution implementation.
    • Design, deploy, and support Microsoft security solutions across M365 and Azure, including: Entra ID, Teams, Defender, Intune, Purview, SharePoint, Exchange, Azure Defender for Cloud, Sentinel (KQL, Graph, PowerShell)
    • Develop security strategies aligned with frameworks like CMMC, NIST 800-171, and NIST 800-53.
    • Lead workshops, architecture sessions, and technical demos.
    • Support zero trust, extended detection & response (XDR), and threat modeling initiatives.
    • Help clients achieve and maintain regulatory compliance while improving operational security.

What You Bring

    • Bachelors degree or equivalent experience.
    • Passion for problem-solving and learning new technologies.
    • Experience supporting or managing cloud security environments.
    • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
    • Hands-on experience with Microsoft security tools, including: Entra ID/Conditional Access/Privilege Identity Management (PIM)/Just in Time Access (JIT), Microsoft Purview/Data loss Prevention (DLP)/Sensitivity Labels/Data Security Posture management (DSPM), Defender XDR suite of services (Endpoint, Identity, Cloud, Azure services and Threat hunting), Azure Defender for Cloud, Azure Sentinel including KQL queries, Azure Resource Graph, Microsoft Graph, and PowerShell
    • Understanding of core cybersecurity principles: zero trust, privileged access, APT threats, credential theft, and just-in-time administration.
