An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Cloud Security Engineer to join a dynamic team based in London, contributing to vital projects within the national security sector. In this role, you will design, implement, and manage security solutions across various cloud platforms, ensuring robust protection of sensitive data and compliance with established security standards. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to assess risks, identify vulnerabilities, and develop mitigation strategies, while also supporting the delivery of secure, scalable, and resilient cloud services.

Key responsibilities include conducting cloud security assessments, advising on architecture best practices, and implementing controls to prevent unauthorized access or data loss. You will be expected to monitor cloud environments for security threats, respond to incidents, and perform regular audits to ensure compliance with regulatory and internal requirements.
