About the role

IT Security Engineer to own and strengthen security of the corporate technology environment, with hands-on scope across identity and access management, endpoint security, SaaS security, Zero Trust, security automation, and incident response in a fast-moving startup.

Responsibilities

  • Identity & Access Management: Own and strengthen identity and access controls across our corporate environment, with a focus on Microsoft Entra ID.
  • Implement and maintain SSO/SAML, SCIM provisioning, MFA, Conditional Access, and RBAC.
  • Build and improve automated joiner, mover, and leaver (JML) workflows.
  • Regularly review permissions, privileged access, and authentication policies to reduce unnecessary access and security risk.
  • Help establish identity as the foundation of our Zero Trust security model.
  • Endpoint Security: Manage and improve endpoint security through Microsoft Intune/MDM, device compliance policies, and endpoint protection tooling.
  • Deploy and maintain EDR capabilities across the corporate fleet.
  • Establish and enforce security baselines for employee devices.
  • Investigate endpoint security events and remediate compromised or non-compliant devices.
  • SaaS & Corporate Application Security: Assess and improve the security posture of corporate SaaS applications.
  • Partner with application owners to implement appropriate authentication, authorization, provisioning, and data-access controls.
  • Identify shadow IT, excessive permissions, insecure configurations, and other SaaS-related risks.
  • Help establish scalable security standards for onboarding and managing new corporate applications.
  • Zero Trust & Corporate Access: Design and implement Zero Trust principles across identity, endpoints, applications, and corporate access.
  • Strengthen controls around privileged access, remote access, and access to sensitive systems.
  • Apply practical security controls that balance strong protection with employee productivity.
  • Security Automation: Automate repetitive security and IT workflows using scripts, APIs, and integrations.
  • Build tooling to automate access reviews, provisioning, compliance checks, alert enrichment, remediation, and other security processes.
  • Use scripting languages such as Python or JavaScript to improve security operations and reduce manual work.
  • Look for opportunities to turn manual security processes into scalable, reliable systems.
  • Detection & Incident Response: Monitor and investigate security alerts across identity, endpoint, and corporate systems.
  • Perform initial investigation and triage of suspicious activity and potential security incidents.
  • Support incident containment, remediation, and post-incident improvements.
  • Build lightweight detections and alerts for meaningful risks within the corporate environment.

Qualifications

  • Strong hands-on experience with identity and access management, ideally within Microsoft Entra ID.
  • Experience implementing or managing SSO/SAML, SCIM, MFA, Conditional Access, RBAC, and JML workflows.
  • Experience with MDM and endpoint security, ideally Microsoft Intune and modern EDR tooling.
  • Understanding of SaaS and corporate application security.
  • Experience implementing or operating within a Zero Trust security model.
  • Ability to automate workflows using scripts and APIs, with experience in a language such as Python or JavaScript.
  • Working knowledge of security detection, investigation, and incident response.
  • Strong security judgment — you can distinguish theoretical risk from meaningful business risk and prioritize accordingly.
