Microsoft Azure operates one of the largest Internet Protocol (IP) networks in the world, connecting millions of servers across hundreds of data centers to customers globally. This infrastructure supports a wide range of services and requires robust security measures to ensure reliability and trust.

The Azure Networking Security team plays a critical role in safeguarding the routers and switches that form the backbone of this network. The team includes professionals from various disciplines—software engineering, network engineering, data science, and security—who work together to analyze billions of daily network events. Their goal is to detect potential threats and ensure compliance with established security standards.

As a Principal Network Security Engineer and technical leader, you will help drive efforts to identify and respond to non-compliant events, including those that may indicate malicious activity. This role offers the opportunity to apply and expand your expertise in network security while developing scalable detection systems suited for a large-scale cloud environment.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organisation on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realise our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
