Protect identities at global scale. We’re hiring a hands‑on Senior Identity Protection Engineer/Specialist to lead detection, investigation, and response for identity-based threats across Microsoft Entra /Azure AD, on‑prem Active Directory, and connected SaaS/IaaS. You’ll serve as the enterprise SME/administrator for Crowd Strike Identity Protection, tune high‑fidelity detections, integrate dark web intelligence, and orchestrate automation that measurably reduces MTTD/MTTR and risk.

• Lead identity threat monitoring and triage

• Validate true/false positives, prioritize by business impact, and elevate per playbooks/SLAs
• Drive rapid containment and remediation
• Execute containment actions (disable accounts, revoke sessions/tokens, isolate hosts)
• Coordinate remediation with IAM/Endpoint/Infrastructure; verify risk reduction to closure
• Own identity-focused incident response
• Lead IR for credential compromise, privilege escalation, directory persistence, and lateral movement
• Ensure evidence handling, root cause analysis, post‑incident reviews, and lessons learned
• Engineer detections and hunt for threats
• Build and refine detections and hunts across SIEM/EDR/identity platforms using KQL/SQL/regex/Sigma aligned to MITRE ATT&CK
• Close visibility gaps, reduce false positives, and expand privileged activity monitoring
• Strengthen privileged access controls
• Detect anomalous privileged behavior via SIEM/UEBA and Netskope telemetry
• Recommend/enforce JIT, break‑glass patterns, and mover/leaver privilege hygiene with IAM
• Respond to dark web/credential exposure
• Integrate sources like Cyber Int; assess exposure and targeted campaigns
• Orchestrate takedowns, forced resets, token revocation, and Conditional Access updates
• Administer platforms and sustain hygiene
• Maintain coverage/health for identity monitoring; manage upgrades and changes via CAB
• Keep operational runbooks, SOPs, and playbooks current
• Automate and orchestrate at scale
• Use Power Shell/Python and REST/Graph/Crowd Strike APIs (and SOAR where applicable) to automate enrichment and response, standardize workflows, and improve signal fidelity
• Shape identity policy and controls
• Advise on Conditional Access, MFA exceptions, SSO/SCIM patterns, and session controls under the shared‑responsibility model with IAM
• Report outcomes and support audits
• Produce executive‑ready dashboards and KPIs (identity incident volume, MTTD/MTTR, CA/MFA efficacy, exposure/takedown cycle time)
• Maintain audit-ready evidence and support internal/external audits

• Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, IT, or related field; or equivalent practical experience
• 8+ years in IT/cybersecurity, including 3+ years focused on identity security/operations (Entra /Azure AD, on‑prem AD, MFA, Conditional Access, SSO/SCIM)
• Hands‑on enterprise experience administering/operating Crowd Strike Identity Protection
• Proficiency with SIEM/UEBA (Splunk preferred) and cloud security platforms (e.g., Netskope) for identity telemetry, detection, and investigations
• Demonstrated experience in identity‑centric IR, threat hunting, and detection engineering (KQL/SQL/regex/Sigma)
• Scripting/automation with Power Shell and Python; experience with REST/Graph/Crowd Strike APIs and SOAR
• Clear communication and documentation skills; comfortable producing executive‑ready reports and audit evidence
• Operates effectively within change control/CAB and under pressure during high‑severity incidents

• Certifications:
  
  Microsoft SC‑200/SC‑300;
  Okta Certified Administrator/Professional; CISSP, SSCP, Security+; GIAC (GMON, GCIH, GCDA) or equivalent
• Deep knowledge of identity attack paths and protocols (Kerberos/NTLM), token/session abuse, and persistence techniques (e.g., Golden/Silver Ticket, DCShadow)
• Experience with JIT/JEA, PAM concepts, and global on‑call rotations

• Opportunities in the United States, United Kingdom, and Denmark
• Onsite or hybrid depending on location and business needs
• Occasional on‑call coverage may be required

• Own a mission‑critical identity defense stack and make measurable impact on MTTD/MTTR and privilege hygiene
• Solve complex problems from dark web exposure to directory persistence and lateral movement
• Collaborate with experienced global teams and leading vendors to continuously raise the bar
• Grow your career in a modern, data‑driven security operations environment
