Security Engineer, AWS Security
We are seeking a Security Engineer, AWS Security to help protect cloud-based systems, applications and data across a rapidly evolving technology environment. In this role, you will design, implement and maintain effective security controls within AWS, while supporting secure-by-design principles throughout the software development and operational lifecycle. You will work closely with engineering, infrastructure, governance and risk teams to identify threats, resolve vulnerabilities and strengthen overall cloud resilience.
Your responsibilities will include developing and managing AWS security services such as IAM, Security Hub, GuardDuty, CloudTrail, Config, KMS, WAF and related networking controls. You will establish and enforce least-privilege access, secure account and landing-zone configurations, encryption standards, logging and monitoring practices. You will also support vulnerability management, security assessments, incident response, threat investigation and remediation activities. The role will involve creating security automation and infrastructure-as-code controls using tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation, as well as contributing to security policies, technical standards and clear operational documentation.
Applicants should have practical experience securing AWS environments and a strong understanding of cloud security architecture, identity and access management, network segmentation, encryption, monitoring and incident response. Experience with scripting or programming, CI/CD security, containers, Linux and security automation would be highly valuable. Familiarity with recognised security frameworks and standards, such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS benchmarks, is desirable. Relevant AWS or security certifications are advantageous, but equivalent hands-on experience will be considered. You should be analytical, collaborative and confident communicating technical risks and recommendations to both technical and non-technical audiences.
