About the Role

Our firm is a large, multi-state law practice with a sophisticated technology environment and a deep responsibility to protect highly sensitive client and matter data. We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer to strengthen and mature our Microsoft-centered security program. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who thrives on threat detection, tenant hardening, identity modernization, and security automation—and who can clearly communicate risk and remediation to both technical teams and firm leadership.

Security Automation and Vulnerability Management

• Build and maintain security automation (e.g., Logic Apps, automation rules/playbooks, PowerShell, Azure Functions) to reduce manual effort and accelerate response.
• Own vulnerability assessment and remediation tracking, partnering with IT and infrastructure teams to close gaps.

Cloud, Identity, and Data Governance

• Secure and govern Azure infrastructure, applying cloud security best practices across resources and workloads.
• Configure and manage Microsoft Purview for data governance, information protection, data loss prevention, insider risk, and compliance.
• Strengthen identity and access management (IAM) practices firm-wide, including least-privilege enforcement and access reviews.

AI Security and Documentation

• Secure and govern AI and AI agents across the firm, addressing data exposure, identity and access for agents, acceptable-use controls, and the confidentiality and privilege concerns unique to a legal environment.
• Document standards, procedures, and runbooks; communicate security posture, incidents, and recommendations clearly to technical staff and firm leadership.
• Manage application security assessments and lifecycle oversight to retire applications that are inactive or pose security risks.

Qualifications

• Strong hands-on expertise across: Defender XDR enterprise defense suite and Microsoft Sentinel with proficient KQL; M365 tenant hardening (Entra ID, Exchange, Teams, SharePoint); Azure infrastructure security; security automation (SOAR); Entra ID and Conditional Access; vulnerability assessment; Defender for Endpoint, Intune, Application Control; and Microsoft Purview (DSPM, IP, DLP, IRM, DLM, AI).
• Strong technical, organizational, time-management, and communication skills.
• Participate in scheduled after-hours changes as needed.

Education and Experience

• Experience at a law firm or in a similarly regulated, confidentiality-driven environment.
• Demonstrated experience securing AWS and/or GCP environments in enterprise settings.
• Experience designing and implementing security controls for AI and agent-based workloads.
• 4–7+ years of experience as a Security Engineer at a large, multi-state organization.
