Cyber Security Analyst, AWS Security
We are seeking a Cyber Security Analyst specialising in AWS Security to help protect cloud-based platforms, applications, and data against evolving cyber threats. In this role, you will monitor security events, investigate alerts, assess vulnerabilities, and support the implementation of effective controls across AWS environments. You will work closely with cloud engineers, developers, infrastructure teams, and risk stakeholders to promote secure-by-design solutions and maintain a strong security posture.
Your responsibilities will include analysing logs and alerts from cloud security and monitoring tools, responding to incidents, supporting forensic investigations, and documenting findings and remediation actions. You will help manage and improve AWS security services such as CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Security Hub, IAM, Config, KMS, VPC security controls, and related monitoring capabilities. You will also contribute to vulnerability management, threat modelling, access reviews, security assessments, policy development, audit preparation, and the continuous improvement of security operations and response procedures.
The successful candidate will have practical experience in cyber security operations, cloud security, or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of AWS architecture and security principles. Experience with identity and access management, network security, encryption, logging, incident response, vulnerability assessment, and security frameworks is essential. Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code, scripting or automation using tools such as Python, Bash, or Terraform, and security information and event management platforms would be advantageous. Relevant AWS or security certifications are desirable, but demonstrable hands-on capability is equally valued. You should be analytical, curious, and comfortable explaining technical risks to both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong communication, problem-solving, prioritisation, and documentation skills are required, together with a proactive approach to identifying and reducing security risks.
