Security Engineering Manager - Incident Response, AWS CloudOps
We are seeking a Security Engineering Manager to lead incident response and cloud operations security across a complex, highly available environment. This role will manage a team of security engineers and coordinate the organisation’s response to cyber incidents, from initial detection and triage through containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident improvement. You will establish clear operational processes, strengthen monitoring and detection capabilities, and ensure that security events are handled consistently, rapidly, and with appropriate business communication.
You will oversee the development and maintenance of incident response plans, playbooks, escalation procedures, and crisis exercises. Working closely with infrastructure, platform engineering, application development, risk, and compliance teams, you will investigate threats, lead technical response activities, and provide concise updates to senior stakeholders. The role will also include improving cloud security controls, identity and access management, logging, vulnerability management, configuration standards, and automation. You will champion lessons-learned reviews, track remediation actions, and use metrics to demonstrate operational resilience and continuous improvement.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience leading security engineering or incident response teams, with strong knowledge of cloud infrastructure, networking, operating systems, and modern detection and response practices. Experience designing secure cloud architectures, using security monitoring and SIEM platforms, and automating investigations or remediation with scripting or infrastructure-as-code tools is highly desirable. You should be comfortable making decisions during high-pressure incidents, communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences, and developing engineers through coaching and feedback. Relevant professional certifications in cloud security, incident handling, or information security are advantageous. A collaborative, accountable approach and a strong understanding of risk, governance, and regulatory expectations are essential.
