Senior Cloud Security Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Cloud Security Engineer to help design, implement and continuously improve secure cloud environments across a complex and evolving technology landscape. This is an opportunity to provide technical leadership, strengthen security capabilities and work closely with engineering, infrastructure, development and risk teams.
You will be responsible for developing and maintaining cloud security architecture, controls and standards across platforms such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud Platform. Your duties will include identifying security risks, reviewing cloud designs, implementing preventative and detective controls, and supporting secure adoption of new services and technologies.
The role will involve building security into infrastructure and application delivery through automation, infrastructure as code and DevSecOps practices. You will contribute to identity and access management, network security, encryption, vulnerability management, logging, monitoring and incident response. You will also investigate security events, support remediation activity and ensure that cloud environments remain aligned with relevant policies, regulatory expectations and industry best practice.
You will act as a trusted adviser to technical teams, explaining complex security considerations clearly and helping colleagues make informed, risk-based decisions. The role may also involve mentoring less experienced engineers, contributing to security reviews, developing technical documentation and participating in continuous improvement initiatives.
Applicants should have substantial experience in cloud security engineering, cloud architecture or a closely related discipline, with strong practical knowledge of at least one major cloud platform. Experience with security tooling, SIEM solutions, container security, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes, scripting and infrastructure-as-code technologies such as Terraform is highly desirable. Professional certifications in cloud security, information security or architecture would be advantageous.
You will be a proactive problem-solver with excellent communication skills and the confidence to influence stakeholders at different levels. A methodical approach, sound understanding of cyber security principles and the ability to balance security, usability and delivery priorities are essential. This role offers the chance to make a significant contribution to the resilience and security of modern cloud services.
