M365 Senior Engineer

M365 Senior Engineer (Microsoft 365, Intune, Entra ID, Defender) - great mix of projects and BAU work!

An M365 Senior Engineer is required by a modern, cloud-first Professional Services firm operating entirely in a Microsoft 365 E5 environment. This is a hands-on role where you'll take ownership of the M365 platform, driving improvements across identity, endpoint management, and security.

You'll be joining a small, high-performing team where your input genuinely shapes decisions. It's an ideal move for someone currently in an MSP who wants to step into an internal role with more ownership and long-term progression.

What you'll need:

• Strong Microsoft 365 experience within a cloud-only (E5) environment
• Hands-on expertise with Entra ID, Intune (Autopilot, MDM/MAM), and Microsoft Defender
• Experience with Conditional Access, Security Groups, and SSO integrations
• Scripting/automation using PowerShell and/or Graph API
• Endpoint management across Windows 11 (MacOS/Jamf beneficial) and experience supporting junior team members
• You'll be fully supported with training and certifications, while gaining direct exposure to Microsoft Defender and working closely with Cyber Engineers. This is a clear route into a more security-focused role.
  

Day to day, you'll:

• Lead deployment, optimisation, and support of Microsoft cloud services including Entra ID, Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, and Intune
• Design and maintain backup and recovery strategies for workplace services and endpoints
• Design, implement, and maintain identity management integrations, including Single Sign-On (SSO) and System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM).
• Design and maintain system-to-system integrations using standard protocols (OAuth, OIDC), and support custom SaaS API integrations where required.

What's on offer:

• £45,000 - £55,000 + 10% bonus
• Hybrid working (2-3 days Manchester)
• Cloud-only Microsoft environment - no Legacy tech
• Hands-on Microsoft Defender experience
• Strong training and certification support
• Clear progression into security or senior roles
• High-impact role in a small team
