Security Engineer III - Java / AWS
We are seeking a Security Engineer III with strong Java and AWS experience to help design, build, and maintain secure, resilient services across a complex cloud environment. In this role, you will work closely with software engineering, platform, infrastructure, and risk teams to embed security throughout the development lifecycle. You will contribute to security architecture, threat modelling, secure coding standards, vulnerability remediation, and the continuous improvement of cloud security controls.
Key responsibilities include reviewing Java-based applications and APIs for security weaknesses, developing secure automation and tooling, and supporting identity and access management, encryption, secrets management, network security, and monitoring within AWS. You will investigate security findings, assess emerging threats, and help define practical remediation plans. The role will also involve participating in incident response, conducting technical security assessments, improving detection and prevention capabilities, and documenting standards, processes, and architectural decisions. You will be expected to champion secure engineering practices and provide constructive guidance through design reviews and code reviews.
Applicants should have substantial experience in application or cloud security, with hands-on expertise developing or reviewing Java applications and services. Strong knowledge of AWS security services and core technologies such as IAM, VPC, CloudTrail, KMS, S3, Lambda, and container platforms is required. Experience with CI/CD security, infrastructure as code, vulnerability management, threat modelling, and security testing tools is highly valued. You should be comfortable working with modern development practices, automation, RESTful APIs, databases, and Linux environments. Excellent communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to influence technical decisions and work effectively with both engineering and non-technical stakeholders. Relevant security or cloud certifications are advantageous, but demonstrated practical experience is equally important.
