- Define and publish reusable security patterns across Microsoft ecosystems (Azure, Power Platform, Copilot Studio).
- Partner with platform and engineering teams to ensure secure adoption of AI, low-code, and data governance capabilities.
- Mentor engineering teams on security architecture, secure coding, and cloud-native control implementations.
- Drive consistency through governed, scalable security patterns that reduce the need for per-integration reviews.
**NOTE: The Primary Responsibilities of this role are not limited to the details above. **Qualifications:- 5+ years of cybersecurity work experience
