• Administer and improve Microsoft Intune for endpoint configuration, compliance, and mobile device management.
• Tune and maintain Microsoft Defender (Endpoint, Cloud, and related products) for threat detection, response, and reporting.

• Draft, update, and maintain corporate information security policies, standards, and procedures aligned to recognized frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF).
• Lead the response to customer and prospect security questionnaires, RFPs, and due-diligence requests, and maintain a reusable response library.
• Support vendor risk assessments and third-party security reviews.
• Assist with internal and external audits, evidence collection, and remediation of findings.

• Partner with Engineering on secure SDLC practices, threat modeling, and code review guidance.
• Contribute to security awareness training, phishing simulations, and a strong security culture across the company.
• Help mature incident response playbooks and participate in tabletop exercises and on-call rotations as needed.

• 4-6 years of professional experience in information security, application security, cloud security, or a closely related role.
• Experience in preparing for SOC 2 Type 2 attestations for SaaS products.
• Hands-on experience securing SaaS applications and workloads running in Microsoft Azure.
• Demonstrated experience with vulnerability management tooling and process including triage, prioritization (e.g., CVSS, EPSS, exploitability context), and driving remediation through engineering teams.
• Working proficiency with several of the following: Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Defender (Endpoint/Cloud), Microsoft Purview, Datadog, GitHub (Advanced Security, Dependabot, code scanning), and Snyk.
• Solid understanding of identity and access management concepts, particularly Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), conditional access, and least-privilege design.
• Experience writing or substantially contributing to security policies, standards, or procedures.
