Senior Cloud Security Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Cloud Security Engineer to design, implement and continuously improve security controls across cloud environments. You will work closely with infrastructure, platform engineering, software development and compliance teams to protect critical services, applications and data. The role requires strong technical expertise, sound judgement and the ability to translate security requirements into practical, scalable solutions.
Your responsibilities will include developing cloud security architectures and reference patterns; implementing identity and access management, network security, encryption, secrets management and workload protection; and establishing secure configuration baselines across cloud platforms. You will assess risks, review infrastructure and application designs, support threat modelling, and lead remediation of vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. You will also contribute to security monitoring, incident response, logging and detection engineering, helping to investigate events and strengthen preventative and detective controls. Experience with infrastructure as code and automated security testing will be important for embedding security throughout the development lifecycle.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in cloud security engineering, preferably across one or more major public cloud platforms, together with a strong understanding of cloud-native technologies such as containers, Kubernetes, serverless services and CI/CD pipelines. You should be comfortable scripting or programming in a language such as Python, PowerShell or Bash, and familiar with common security frameworks, risk management practices and regulatory requirements. Relevant professional certifications are advantageous. Excellent communication skills are essential, as you will explain complex security issues clearly, influence technical decisions and mentor colleagues. A proactive, collaborative approach and a commitment to continuous improvement will enable you to succeed in this role.
