Join the Identity Security (IDSEC) Breach Prevention team as a Senior Security Engineer to tackle large-scale security challenges by designing and deploying platform-level countermeasures that prevent authentication and authorization vulnerabilities across Microsoft’s Identity and Network Access services. You will translate breach insights into robust engineering controls, develop reusable prevention frameworks, and integrate these measures into production environments while ensuring service reliability. Key responsibilities include automating security enforcement, contributing to scalable automation and analysis from threat intelligence signals, and deploying rapid countermeasures against emerging threats. Ideal candidates have a strong background in software development, large-scale computing, and identity technologies such as OAuth, OIDC, SAML, tokens, certificates/PKI, and MFA, along with relevant certifications like CISSP or OSCP.
