Security Engineering Manager - Incident Response, AWS CloudOps
We are seeking a Security Engineering Manager to lead incident response and cloud security operations across a complex AWS environment. This role will manage a team of security engineers and coordinate the detection, investigation, containment, and recovery of security incidents affecting cloud infrastructure, applications, and data. You will establish effective response processes, improve operational readiness, and ensure incidents are handled quickly, consistently, and with clear communication to technical and business stakeholders.
Responsibilities include developing and maintaining incident response playbooks, leading investigations into suspected compromises, and coordinating forensic analysis, remediation, and post-incident reviews. You will partner with CloudOps, infrastructure, software engineering, risk, and compliance teams to strengthen preventive and detective controls. The role will also oversee security monitoring, alert triage, threat hunting, vulnerability remediation, and the continuous improvement of logging and telemetry across AWS services. You will define operational metrics, report on incident trends and response performance, and help shape security strategy, standards, and governance.
The successful candidate will have significant experience managing security engineering or incident response teams, together with hands-on expertise in AWS security and cloud operations. Strong knowledge of identity and access management, network security, encryption, endpoint and workload protection, SIEM platforms, infrastructure as code, and security automation is required. Experience responding to major incidents, conducting root-cause analysis, and working with frameworks such as NIST or MITRE ATT&CK is highly desirable. You should be an assured communicator and people leader who can make sound decisions under pressure, develop technical talent, and collaborate effectively across a fast-moving organisation. Relevant cloud or security certifications are advantageous.
