The Microsoft Incident Response team are seeking a skilled and experienced infrastructure specialist to join us. This role presents an opportunity to be the tip of the spear during incident response engagements, driving the data collection, response, containment, and recovery workstreams and presenting findings to stakeholders from every part of the business. Strong knowledge of Microsoft security solutions and identity systems is key, ideally with experience in containment and recovery of both on premises and cloud environments. The ability to communicate technical content with clarity and context, and good knowledge of nation state and cybercrime attack techniques is important. A desire to fail fast and learn quickly is critical, along with strong analytical and critical thinking skills. 

Along with working reactive incident response cases for some of the most esteemed businesses in the world, infrastructure team members should be able to conduct research into new attack and recovery techniques, have excellent documentation skills, and be confident in disseminating knowledge both across the team and across partner teams within Microsoft. Thought leadership is a key priority, in the form of written and spoken content delivered both internally and externally. Any successful candidate should also embody Microsoft’s culture and values.
