Azure Penetration Test Engineer

The Azure Penetration Test Engineer is responsible for conducting authorized security testing against Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 environments to identify, exploit, and document security weaknesses. This role focuses on cloud-native attack paths, identity compromise, misconfigurations, and exposure risks specific to Azure infrastructure-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service, and SaaS workloads.

The engineer operates as a trusted advisor to security, engineering, and leadership teams by producing actionable findings, validating remediation effectiveness, and aligning testing activities with industry frameworks such as NIST, MITRE ATT&CK, and Microsoft cloud security best practices. This role requires strong hands‑on technical depth, professional reporting skills, and the ability to work independently within defined rules of engagement.
