Some of the key responsibilities of our Senior Microsoft Platform & Security Engineer will be: 

• Design, implement and continuously improve Microsoft cloud platform services across Play’n GO, with a primary focus on Entra ID, Intune, Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Defender.

• Own and develop the technical roadmap for Microsoft identity, endpoint, collaboration and security capabilities in alignment with IT and security strategy.

• Evaluate Microsoft roadmap updates, security recommendations, product changes and new capabilities, recommending and implementing improvements where they add security, business or operational value.

• Drive automation and standardisation across Microsoft platform operations, including provisioning, configuration, reporting, alerting and lifecycle management.

• Collaborate with IT Operations, Security, Service Delivery and business stakeholders to design solutions that are secure, maintainable and user-friendly.

• Provide expert guidance on Microsoft platform architecture, configuration, security, troubleshooting and best practices.

• Support security assessments, audits, investigations and remediation activities related to Microsoft cloud services, endpoint management and Microsoft security technologies.

• Work with Microsoft and external partners where needed to resolve complex platform issues or deliver improvements.

• Document platform architecture, configurations, standards, decisions, security controls and operational processes.

• Contribute to reducing complexity, improving reliability and increasing the value Play’n GO gets from its Microsoft investment.
