Security Automation:

  • Develop scripts and automation workflows using Azure DevOps, PowerShell, and Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates to automate security configurations, deployments, and incident response processes.

Collaboration and Documentation:

  • Collaborate with development, operations, and compliance teams to integrate security controls into the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
  • Document security designs, configurations, and procedures to facilitate knowledge sharing and ensure compliance with documentation standards.

Qualifications:

  • Certifications such as Azure Security Engineer Associate, Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), or Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) preferred.
  • Strong understanding of Azure services and architecture, including Azure Virtual Machines, Azure Active Directory, Azure Networking, and Azure Storage.
