Retail Insight takes data and turns it into action.

At Retail Insight (RI), we’re proud to work with some of the world’s largest grocery retailers and consumer goods brands. As we continue to scale and innovate, security is at the heart of everything we do. Our cloud‑first approach—with Microsoft Azure as our primary platform—allows us to move fast while staying secure, compliant, and resilient.

The Opportunity

We’re on a mission to strengthen our security posture as we work towards SOC 2 assurance, and we’re looking for a SecOps Platform Engineer to play a critical role in this journey. As our SecOps Platform Engineer, you’ll help build and evolve the foundational security capabilities that keep our infrastructure, endpoints, and data safe. You’ll be instrumental in shaping our security operations, delivering scalable solutions, and working across teams to embed secure practices into everything we do.

Responsibilities

• Improve security across Windows and macOS devices using Microsoft Intune, Defender for Endpoint, Jamf Pro, and Jamf Protect.
• Contribute to a strategic initiative to move toward work‑only computing, including lockdown policies, EPM, software whitelisting, and alerting.
• Continuously assess vulnerabilities using tools like Azure Advisor, Defender for Cloud, and Defender XDR.
• Work closely with Systems Engineering and Development teams to prioritize and remediate critical risks.
• Design, implement, and manage security tools across cloud and endpoint environments.
• Monitor, detect, and respond to security threats, incidents, and suspicious behaviour.
• Review and enhance network security, including firewall rules, NSGs, WAFs, and network design.
• Ensure secure cloud configurations and enforce best practices using Azure‑native controls and policies.
• Lead implementation and validation of security controls aligned with SOC 2 and ISO standards.
• Document processes and participate in internal audits and evidence gathering.
• Partner with cross‑functional teams to embed security into development, infrastructure, and IT practices.
• Engage with Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) to drive continuous improvement.

Ideal Candidate

• Proven experience in Security Operations, DevSecOps, or similar roles in Azure environments.
• Demonstrable experience with Azure security services such as Entra ID, Sentinel, Defender suite, Azure Policy, Firewall, and Log Analytics.
• Good understanding of security operations including threat detection, response, monitoring, and incident handling.
• Experience with identity & Access Management (IAM), endpoint security, and cloud‑native controls.
• Experience with Microsoft Intune, Jamf Suite, Conditional Access, DLP, MFA, and compliance policies, including SOC 2 and ISO27001.
• Previously used scripting tools such as PowerShell, Python, Bash, KQL, or SQL.

Stand Out

• Certifications such as AZ‑500, SC‑200, CISSP, CISM, SSCP, or CCSP.
• Familiarity with Microsoft 365 forensics and incident response.
• Used other tools such as Jira, Confluence, ClickUp.
