The Role:

We are looking for an Infrastructure & Security Operations Engineer on behalf of our client to strengthen cyber defense, reduce organizational risk, and drive core security improvements across cloud, identity, endpoint, and server environments.

In this role, you will play a central part in vulnerability remediation, incident response, security monitoring, and infrastructure hardening. You will collaborate closely with infrastructure, cloud, service delivery, and third-party vendors to turn security priorities and audit findings into verified, production-ready fixes.

What we’re looking for:

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in Security Operations (SecOps), Infrastructure Security, or Systems Administration.

• Strong working knowledge of hybrid enterprise environments (Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, M365, Azure, or AWS).

• Demonstrated experience with vulnerability scanning/management tools and patch coordination across multiple platforms.

• Practical experience working with SIEM, EDR/XDR, or managed SOC/MDR escalation workflows.

• Proven ability to coordinate technical remediation across internal teams and third-party managed service providers.

• Strong analytical troubleshooting skills with a structured approach to documentation and tracking.

• Located in CET timezone (+/- 3 hours), we are unable to consider applications from candidates in other time zones.

Nice-to-Have Skills:

• Hands-on experience with tools like Microsoft Defender XDR, Sentinel, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Qualys, Tenable, or Rapid7.

• Experience with scripting and automation (PowerShell, KQL, Bash, or Python).

• Familiarity with frameworks such as ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, CIS Benchmarks, or PCI DSS.

• Relevant industry certifications (e.g., CompTIA Security+, CySA+, SC-200, AZ-500, or equivalent).

Responsibilities:

• Monitor, triage, and respond to security alerts from SIEM, EDR/XDR, and MDR/MSSP partners; support containment, recovery, root-cause analysis, and post-incident reviews.

• Identify, prioritize, and drive remediation of vulnerabilities across infrastructure, cloud, and endpoint estates in coordination with system owners and external vendors.

• Implement baseline configurations and hardening standards across hybrid environments (Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Azure/AWS, Active Directory, networks, and remote access).

• Assist with privileged access management (PAM), MFA enforcement, Conditional Access, and periodic access reviews.

• Refine detection coverage, operational playbooks, and security procedures; maintain remediation records and assist with compliance audit evidence collection.

• Deliver concise status updates on vulnerability posture, open risks, SLAs, and technical blockers to key stakeholders.
