Senior Securuty Implementation Specialist

Position Overview

We are looking for a Senior Security Implementation Specialist to lead the delivery of security technology implementations for clients across endpoint, email and collaboration, cloud applications and workloads, cloud identity, and SIEM environments.

This is a client-facing professional services role focused on discovery, architecture, configuration, integration, validation, documentation, and operational handover. The successful candidate will bring deep expertise in Microsoft Sentinel and hands-on experience implementing security solutions across the broader Microsoft security ecosystem.

Working closely with clients, you will lead XDR engagements, integrate security telemetry from diverse environments, and deliver scalable solutions that transition smoothly into ongoing operations.

This is a build-and-handover engineering role rather than a monitoring or incident response position. You will be responsible for designing, implementing, validating, and documenting security integrations while ensuring operational readiness for long-term support teams.

Responsibilities

Lead client discovery sessions and workshops to assess security architecture, business requirements, integration dependencies, and success criteria.

Design, implement, validate, and document security solutions across endpoint, email and collaboration, cloud applications and workloads, cloud identity, XDR, and SIEM technologies.

Plan, build, test, and deploy Microsoft Sentinel integrations, data connectors, Data Collection Rules (DCRs), Azure Monitor Agent deployments, custom tables, and ingestion-time transformations.

Implement and maintain API-based integrations, automation workflows, and infrastructure-as-code deployment patterns using technologies such as PowerShell, Python, Terraform, and Bicep.

Design, configure, and validate Microsoft Entra ID security controls, including Conditional Access and Privileged Identity Management (PIM), and integrate identity telemetry into XDR and SIEM solutions.

Support implementation activities involving Microsoft Defender and related Microsoft security technologies.

Validate implemented solutions, produce operational documentation, and execute formal knowledge transfer and handover activities.

Provide guidance on log transport, networking, firewall requirements, and security architecture considerations supporting implementation activities.

Contribute to OT security initiatives and Claroty deployments where relevant experience exists.

Qualifications

5+ years of experience in security engineering, security implementation, SIEM engineering, or related cybersecurity disciplines.

Demonstrated expertise with Microsoft Sentinel including data connectors, Data Collection Rules (DCRs), Azure Monitor Agent, KQL, and ingestion-time transformations.

Experience implementing security solutions across multiple domains including endpoint security, cloud security, identity security, and SIEM platforms.

Working knowledge of Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), and identity-related security use cases.

Strong Windows and Linux systems administration knowledge.

Experience with REST API integrations, authentication workflows, scripting, automation, and infrastructure-as-code technologies.

Professional services experience leading client-facing security projects from discovery through implementation and operational transition.

Working knowledge of enterprise networking, firewall technologies, and log transport methods.

Strong documentation and knowledge transfer skills.

Experience with Microsoft Defender technologies, OT security platforms, Claroty, CrowdStrike, Cribl, or similar technologies is considered an asset.

Additional Requirements

Ability to work directly with clients in a consulting and implementation capacity.

Ability to analyze complex customer environments and recommend practical security solutions.

Ability to travel as required to support customer engagements.

Eligibility to obtain and maintain the security clearance required for the role.

Compensation

$115,000 to $140,000 + 3% STI
