AWS Security Engineer
We are seeking an experienced AWS Security Engineer to help design, implement and maintain secure, resilient cloud environments. In this role, you will work closely with infrastructure, development, operations and compliance teams to embed security throughout the cloud lifecycle. You will contribute to cloud security strategy, improve risk management practices and support the delivery of reliable services across AWS environments.
Your responsibilities will include designing and reviewing secure AWS architectures; implementing identity and access management controls using services such as IAM, IAM Identity Center and AWS Organizations; and configuring security monitoring, logging and threat detection through tools including CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Security Hub and Amazon Inspector. You will develop and maintain infrastructure security controls using infrastructure-as-code, support vulnerability management and incident response, and investigate security events when required. You will also help establish secure network designs involving VPCs, security groups, network firewalls, private connectivity and encryption. The role will involve creating security standards, policies and technical documentation, as well as advising engineering teams on secure development and deployment practices.
The successful candidate will have hands-on experience securing AWS environments and a strong understanding of cloud security principles, identity and access management, networking, encryption, logging and regulatory controls. Experience with Terraform, CloudFormation or similar infrastructure-as-code tools, alongside scripting in Python, Bash or another relevant language, is highly desirable. Familiarity with CI/CD security, container and serverless workloads, vulnerability scanning and security information and event management platforms would be advantageous. You should be analytical, collaborative and able to communicate complex technical risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Relevant AWS or security certifications, such as AWS Certified Security – Specialty, CISSP or equivalent experience, are welcomed.
