Senior Cloud Security Engineer (SecOps)
We are seeking a Senior Cloud Security Engineer (SecOps) to strengthen the security, resilience, and operational effectiveness of cloud environments. In this role, you will design, implement, and continuously improve security controls across cloud infrastructure, platforms, applications, and supporting services. You will work closely with engineering, infrastructure, architecture, and compliance teams to embed security throughout the development and operational lifecycle while helping protect critical systems and data.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring and investigating security events, leading incident response activities, and developing effective detection, alerting, and response capabilities. You will assess cloud configurations, identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, recommend remediation, and support threat modelling, risk assessments, and security architecture reviews. You will also contribute to identity and access management, network security, endpoint protection, logging, encryption, secrets management, and security automation. A key part of the role will be developing and maintaining security-as-code, infrastructure-as-code guardrails, operational runbooks, and processes that improve consistency and reduce manual effort. You may also participate in security testing, audit preparation, policy development, and the evaluation of emerging technologies and threats.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in cloud security engineering, SecOps, or a similar technical security role, with strong knowledge of at least one major cloud platform and core security principles. You should be comfortable with scripting or programming, automation, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, SIEM and security monitoring tools, and incident management processes. Experience with container security, Kubernetes, vulnerability management, and common cloud-native security services is highly desirable. Relevant professional certifications are advantageous. You will be a clear communicator and collaborative problem-solver who can explain complex risks to both technical and non-technical audiences, work effectively under pressure, and promote practical, risk-based security improvements across the organisation.
