Security Lead (Azure)

Combine security with hands-on Azure engineering

At Schuberg Philis, we build and operate mission-critical IT environments for organisations that depend on their technology 24/7. Security isn't something we add once the project is finished. It's a core component built into our services from the start.

As a Security Lead with deep Azure expertise, you combine a deep understanding of the cyber-security domain with hands-on Azure engineering and leadership. You work as part of a dedicated, cross-functional customer team that owns the complex customer environment. In that engagement, you won't be standing on the sidelines telling engineers what to do - you will work alongside them to design, build, and improve the customer environment.

What will you do?

You will lead on security within a customer environment on a hybrid cloud setup, including Microsoft Azure and our private cloud solution. That means identifying risks, translating security requirements into technical solutions and helping the team continuously improve its security posture while delivering a challenging migration project. You also think about the future state, identifying threats and risks and their impact on the architecture and implementation phase.

To make it more concrete: we provide the cloud platforms and manage applications running on top of these. We operate within a highly regulated environment, where we are end-to-end responsible for application uptime, security, compliance, and recoverability.

• Driving security improvements across cloud platforms and workloads.
• Working hands-on with engineers to design and maintain secure cloud environments.
• Translating security requirements and risks raised by the customers and the Schuberg Philis central security team into practical engineering solutions.
• Helping establish and maintain security and compliance guardrails using cloud-native capabilities such as Azure Policy and third-party tooling such as ESET and Sonar.
• Taking an active role in vulnerability management and ensuring vulnerabilities within the environment are reviewed and addressed.
• Contributing to identity and access management, including role-based access and access controls.
• Challenging architectural and engineering decisions when security can be improved.
• Building security awareness within the team and helping other engineers make sound security decisions.
• Working with engineers and other stakeholders to move security improvements from idea to implementation.

What we are looking for

We are looking for someone who is first and foremost an engineer. You understand security deeply, but you're equally comfortable discussing architecture, automation and cloud infrastructure with other engineers.

• Microsoft Azure
• Cloud security architecture
• Identity and access management
• Azure Policy and cloud guardrails
• Vulnerability management and secure software supply chains
• Infrastructure as Code and automation (Terraform, Ansible, etc.)
• Container and Kubernetes security
• Security monitoring and threat detection
• Secure platform engineering

More important than ticking every box is your ability to understand a complex hybrid-cloud environment, identify where the real risks are, and work with others to engineer pragmatic solutions.

We expect you to challenge decisions when needed, explain security risks clearly and help the team make the right technical decisions. This role is for someone with deep security expertise and a broader understanding of cloud platforms, infrastructure, automation, and operations, as well as strong technical expertise in Azure.

If you are a senior Azure engineer with a strong security background, or a hands-on cloud security engineer who wants to take more technical ownership, we would like to meet you.

Everyone we work with and consider working with has a right to equal treatment. The hiring and appraisal process at Schuberg Philis is designed to be thorough and equitable, implementing fair payment, benefits, and opportunities across all demographics.

It is our desire to be a company that brings together multiple nationalities, cultures, religions, genders, abilities, and talents within and across our teams. We welcome colleagues from diverse backgrounds to join Schuberg Philis and actively support diversity and inclusion in the tech industry.
