- Strengthen identity and access management (IAM) practices firm-wide, including least-privilege enforcement and access reviews.
AI Security and Documentation
- Secure and govern AI and AI agents across the firm, addressing data exposure, identity and access for agents, acceptable-use controls, and the confidentiality and privilege concerns unique to a legal environment.
- Document standards, procedures, and runbooks; communicate security posture, incidents, and recommendations clearly to technical staff and firm leadership.
- Manage application security assessments and lifecycle oversight to retire applications that are inactive or pose security risks.

About this role
Morgan & Morgan's Cloud Security Engineer role is a hands-on position within a large, multi-state law firm that manages highly sensitive client data across a sophisticated Microsoft-centered environment. You'd own detection and response operations using Defender XDR and Sentinel, lead M365 tenant and endpoint hardening initiatives, build security automation to reduce manual work, and manage vulnerability assessment and remediation. The role also encompasses Azure infrastructure security, identity and access governance through Entra ID, data protection via Microsoft Purview, and a growing focus on securing AI and agent-based workloads—an increasingly important concern in legal settings where confidentiality and privilege are paramount.
This is a strong fit if you have 4–7+ years as a Security Engineer in a large organization and deep hands-on expertise across the Microsoft security stack: Defender XDR, Sentinel with KQL proficiency, M365 hardening, Azure, SOAR automation, Entra ID, Conditional Access, Defender for Endpoint, Intune, and Purview. Experience in a law firm or similarly regulated, confidentiality-driven environment is preferred, as is demonstrated work securing AWS or GCP and designing controls for AI workloads. You'll need strong technical and communication skills to translate security posture and risk to both technical teams and firm leadership, and you should be comfortable with scheduled after-hours changes.
The position is based in Orlando, Florida (or Tampa), in-office only, and requires local candidates. Full-time employees receive medical and dental insurance, a 401(k) plan, paid time off, and paid holidays.
