Cloud Security Engineer
We are seeking a Cloud Security Engineer to design, implement and maintain robust security controls across cloud-based environments. In this role, you will work closely with infrastructure, engineering, DevOps and compliance teams to protect systems, applications and data throughout their lifecycle. You will help shape secure cloud architecture, identify potential risks and ensure security is embedded into development and operational processes from the outset.
Your responsibilities will include configuring and monitoring cloud security services, managing identity and access controls, reviewing network architectures, and supporting encryption, secrets management and vulnerability management initiatives. You will develop and maintain security policies, standards and technical guidance, while helping teams adopt secure infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD practices. You will also investigate security alerts and incidents, support threat detection and response activities, and contribute to post-incident reviews and continuous improvement. Regular security assessments, audit preparation and risk reporting will form part of the role.
The successful candidate will have practical experience securing public cloud platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud, along with a strong understanding of cloud architecture, networking, operating systems and common security principles. Experience with tools for logging, monitoring, security information and event management, vulnerability scanning and automated compliance checks is highly desirable. Familiarity with Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code technologies, container security and DevSecOps practices would be an advantage. You should be comfortable scripting in a language such as Python, PowerShell or Bash and be able to communicate technical risks clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Relevant professional certifications in cloud or information security are welcomed, though demonstrable hands-on experience is equally valued.
