Senior Cloud Security Architect - AWS & GCP
We are seeking a Senior Cloud Security Architect to lead the design, implementation and continuous improvement of secure cloud environments across Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This is a strategic role for an experienced security professional who can translate business and technical requirements into resilient, scalable and compliant cloud architectures. You will work closely with engineering, infrastructure, application development, risk and compliance teams to embed security throughout the cloud lifecycle.
Your responsibilities will include defining cloud security architecture principles, reference models and standards; designing identity and access management, network security, encryption, key management, logging, monitoring and incident response capabilities; and assessing the security of new and existing cloud services. You will provide technical leadership on cloud migrations, platform engineering and containerised workloads, while helping teams adopt secure-by-design and infrastructure-as-code practices. You will also conduct threat modelling, architectural reviews and risk assessments, support vulnerability remediation, and contribute to security policies, control frameworks and audit activities.
The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in cloud security architecture, with strong hands-on knowledge of both AWS and GCP security services and operating models. Expertise in areas such as IAM, zero-trust principles, Kubernetes, network segmentation, DevSecOps, security automation and cloud-native monitoring is essential. You should be comfortable working with frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS, and able to explain complex security concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Relevant certifications, such as AWS Certified Security, Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer, CISSP or equivalent, are desirable. Strong communication, influencing and problem-solving skills are required, together with the ability to balance robust security controls with practical delivery needs.
