Security Engineer, AWS Security
We are seeking a Security Engineer, AWS Security to strengthen cloud security capabilities across a dynamic and continually evolving environment. In this role, you will design, implement and maintain security controls for AWS services, applications and infrastructure. You will work closely with engineering, platform, architecture and risk teams to identify threats, reduce vulnerabilities and embed secure-by-design principles throughout the software development lifecycle.
Your responsibilities will include developing and improving cloud security architectures; configuring and managing AWS security services such as IAM, GuardDuty, Security Hub, CloudTrail, KMS, Config and WAF; and supporting identity, access and secrets management. You will create and maintain infrastructure-as-code security controls, contribute to vulnerability management and incident response, and investigate suspicious activity across cloud environments. You will also help define security standards, develop monitoring and alerting strategies, conduct risk assessments and support audits and compliance requirements. Clear documentation, practical security guidance and knowledge sharing will be important parts of the role.
The successful candidate will have professional experience in cloud or information security, with strong hands-on knowledge of AWS security architecture and services. You should understand networking, encryption, logging, authentication, authorisation and common cloud attack techniques, alongside experience with automation or scripting using tools such as Python, Terraform, CloudFormation or similar. Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, container security, Linux and security frameworks such as CIS, NIST or ISO 27001 would be beneficial. We are looking for someone who can communicate complex technical issues clearly, work collaboratively with varied stakeholders and take a pragmatic, risk-based approach to problem solving. Relevant AWS or security certifications are desirable but not essential.
