Senior Software Engineer
AI summary of the role
Senior Security Engineer in Microsoft Security (MSEC) building security-first systems for safe, scalable AI adoption.
What you’ll do
- Design and build detection pipelines across identity, endpoint, data, and application signals to uncover threats and misconfigurations.
- Architect scalable security platforms and data pipelines for high-volume enterprise telemetry ingestion and real-time analysis.
- Develop prioritization models and end-to-end remediation workflows for vulnerabilities across cloud and application environments.
- Define and implement controls for AI-specific threats: prompt injection, data leakage, model abuse, and adversarial inputs.
What you’ll bring
- Bachelor's Degree AND 6+ years of experience in security engineering, software engineering, or distributed systems.
- Strong experience building production-grade security systems (detections, pipelines, or platforms).
- Deep understanding of security domains such as identity, cloud security, endpoint security, or data protection.
- Strong programming skills (e.g., Python, C#, or Java) for system design, automation, and pipeline development.
