Senior Cloud Security Engineer (SecOps)
We are seeking a Senior Cloud Security Engineer (SecOps) to help protect cloud platforms, applications, data, and infrastructure across a dynamic technology environment. In this role, you will design, implement, and continuously improve security controls across public cloud services, with a strong focus on detection, response, automation, and operational resilience. You will work closely with engineering, infrastructure, development, and risk teams to embed security throughout the software and service lifecycle.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring and investigating security events, leading incident response activities, conducting threat hunting, and improving detection and alerting capabilities. You will develop and maintain security automation, playbooks, and response procedures, while supporting vulnerability management, identity and access controls, network security, logging, and configuration governance. You will also assess cloud architectures and workloads against security best practices, contribute to secure-by-design reviews, and help ensure compliance with relevant policies, standards, and regulatory requirements. The role will involve identifying emerging threats, communicating risk to technical and non-technical stakeholders, and mentoring less experienced security professionals.
We are looking for significant experience in cloud security engineering, security operations, or a closely related discipline, with hands-on expertise in platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. You should be comfortable with cloud-native security services, SIEM and SOAR technologies, endpoint and network monitoring, vulnerability scanning, and infrastructure-as-code tools. Strong knowledge of identity and access management, encryption, secure networking, container security, and incident management is essential. Experience with scripting or programming, particularly Python, PowerShell, or similar languages, will be valuable. Industry certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, GIAC, or cloud security certifications are desirable. You will bring strong analytical and communication skills, sound judgement, and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced environment while managing competing priorities.
