Sr. Sec & Compliance Engineer, AWS Security Assurance Services, LLC
We are seeking a Senior Security & Compliance Engineer to support the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of security assurance programs across complex cloud and technology environments. This role will work closely with engineering, operations, risk, privacy, legal, and internal audit teams to ensure that systems and services meet applicable security, regulatory, and contractual requirements. The successful candidate will be comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple priorities, and translating technical risks into clear business-focused recommendations.
Key responsibilities include developing and maintaining security control frameworks, policies, standards, procedures, and evidence repositories; coordinating internal and external audits and assessments; and evaluating control effectiveness through testing, interviews, documentation reviews, and technical validation. You will identify control gaps, assess associated risks, recommend remediation plans, and track corrective actions through completion. The role will also involve supporting compliance with recognised industry standards and regulations, contributing to customer and third-party assurance activities, reviewing system architecture and operational processes, and preparing concise reports and presentations for technical and senior stakeholders. You may also help automate compliance monitoring, evidence collection, and reporting to improve efficiency and consistency.
Applicants should have substantial experience in security engineering, governance, risk and compliance, audit, or a related discipline, together with a strong understanding of cloud security principles and enterprise technology environments. Experience with security frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC, NIST, PCI DSS, or similar standards is highly desirable. Familiarity with identity and access management, vulnerability management, logging and monitoring, incident response, encryption, network security, and secure software development practices is expected. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, CISA, CRISC, or equivalent, are advantageous. Strong analytical, written, verbal, and stakeholder-management skills are essential, along with the ability to work independently, influence without direct authority, and provide practical, risk-based solutions.
