Staff Cloud Security Engineer
We are seeking a Staff Cloud Security Engineer to define and advance security practices across large-scale cloud environments. In this senior technical role, you will develop secure-by-design architectures, establish cloud security standards, and guide engineering teams in building resilient, compliant services. You will work across infrastructure, application, identity, and data security to reduce risk while enabling rapid and reliable delivery.
Your responsibilities will include designing and reviewing security controls for cloud platforms, containerised workloads, serverless applications, networks, and distributed systems. You will lead threat modelling, architecture reviews, and security assessments; improve identity and access management; and strengthen encryption, secrets management, vulnerability management, logging, monitoring, and incident response capabilities. You will help define security patterns and reusable tooling, automate preventative and detective controls, and contribute to policy, governance, and compliance initiatives. As a technical leader, you will mentor engineers, influence senior stakeholders, and communicate complex security risks and recommendations clearly.
The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in cloud security engineering, platform security, or a closely related discipline, together with strong knowledge of major cloud services and modern infrastructure technologies. Experience with infrastructure as code, Kubernetes or other container platforms, CI/CD pipelines, scripting, and security automation is expected. You should understand common cloud attack techniques, secure identity design, network segmentation, cryptography, application security, and industry security frameworks. The role requires excellent problem-solving and collaboration skills, sound technical judgement, and the ability to balance security, usability, scalability, and delivery objectives. Relevant professional certifications are advantageous, as is experience operating in regulated or high-availability environments.
