Senior Cloud Security Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Cloud Security Engineer to strengthen the security, resilience and governance of cloud-based platforms. This is an opportunity to take a leading role in designing secure cloud environments, improving engineering standards and supporting the delivery of technology services that are robust, scalable and compliant.
You will define and implement cloud security controls across infrastructure, applications and data, with a focus on identity and access management, network security, encryption, vulnerability management, logging and monitoring. Working closely with infrastructure, software engineering, DevOps and risk teams, you will embed security throughout the development lifecycle and help ensure that cloud services are secure by design.
Your responsibilities will include developing security architectures and technical standards; reviewing designs and infrastructure-as-code; identifying and managing security risks; and supporting threat modelling, incident response and remediation activities. You will also contribute to cloud security monitoring, improve detection and response capabilities, and help maintain alignment with relevant legislation, industry frameworks and internal policies. The role will involve providing technical guidance, mentoring colleagues and promoting practical, proportionate security practices across the wider technology function.
Applicants should have significant experience in cloud security engineering, preferably across one or more major cloud platforms, together with strong knowledge of cloud-native security services and modern DevSecOps practices. You will be confident working with infrastructure-as-code, automation, CI/CD pipelines, scripting and security tooling. Experience of identity and privileged access management, container security, security information and event management, and vulnerability assessment would be highly advantageous.
Professional qualifications in cloud, cybersecurity or information security are desirable, alongside familiarity with recognised frameworks such as NIST, CIS or ISO 27001. You should be an analytical and collaborative problem-solver who can explain complex technical issues clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. A proactive approach, sound judgement and the ability to influence stakeholders will be essential.
