🔐 Security Engineer – Cloud & Microsoft Security 📍 London | Hybrid 💰 £60,000 – £80,000 💼 Permanent I'm currently working with a well-established organisation looking to add a Security Engineer to its growing Technology function. This is a hands-on role working across a hybrid cloud and on-premises environment, with exposure across Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, identity, endpoints, infrastructure and security operations.
