Senior Cloud Security Engineer (SecOps)
We are seeking a Senior Cloud Security Engineer (SecOps) to strengthen cloud security operations, protect critical systems, and help mature security capabilities across a complex, multi-cloud environment. This role will combine hands-on engineering with security operations, incident response, automation, and continuous improvement. You will work closely with infrastructure, platform, development, and risk teams to identify threats, reduce vulnerabilities, and embed secure practices throughout the technology lifecycle.
Key responsibilities include designing, implementing, and maintaining security controls across cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud; monitoring security events and investigating potential incidents; leading containment, eradication, and recovery activities; and developing playbooks, procedures, and detection strategies. You will configure and optimise security tooling, including SIEM, SOAR, CSPM, EDR, identity and access management, vulnerability management, and cloud-native security services. The role will also involve threat modelling, security assessments, control validation, log and alert optimisation, and automation using scripting or infrastructure-as-code technologies. You will contribute to security architecture reviews, compliance activities, and the ongoing improvement of operational resilience.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in cloud security engineering, SecOps, or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of cloud infrastructure, networking, identity, encryption, and secure configuration. Experience responding to complex security incidents and working with tools such as Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, QRadar, Defender, CrowdStrike, or comparable platforms is highly desirable. Proficiency in Python, PowerShell, Bash, Terraform, or similar technologies would be advantageous. Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, GIAC, AWS Security Specialty, or Azure Security Engineer are welcome. You will bring strong analytical and communication skills, sound judgement, and the ability to explain technical risks clearly while working effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
