We are seeking a Cloud Security Engineer to support the design, implementation and assurance of secure cloud services within a national security environment in Gloucester. You will work closely with cloud architects, infrastructure engineers, software teams and security specialists to ensure that cloud platforms and applications are resilient, compliant and protected against evolving threats. The role will involve contributing to secure-by-design principles across the full service lifecycle, from initial architecture and development through to deployment, operation and continuous improvement.
Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining cloud security architectures, applying security controls across platforms such as Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services, and supporting identity and access management, network security, encryption, logging, monitoring and vulnerability management. You will assess risks, review technical designs, support threat modelling and security testing, and provide practical guidance on remediation.

The role may include engaging with stakeholders, suppliers and delivery teams to explain security requirements and ensure they are met.

Strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills are required, along with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative, highly regulated environment. Due to the nature of the work, applicants must be eligible to undergo and maintain appropriate UK national security vetting.
