Lynx are working with a leading consultancy who partner with fast-moving engineering teams who build and run their businesses in the cloud. They need pragmatic, code-literate security specialists. The Role They're looking for a hands-on AWS Security Architect who lives and breathes AWS. You'll dissect designs, model attack paths, and show engineering teams what good really looks like. Depending on the engagement, you might run a threat model, assess CI/CD pipelines, learn a vendor DSL for a PoC, or build internal tooling. They don't expect you to know everything - just to be curious, practical, and willing to dive in. What You'll Do Threat Modelling & Architecture Reviews: Break down AWS services, map trust boundaries, build attack trees, and define security requirements before code ships. Security Automation: Build IaC-driven checks, Lambda/Step Function tooling, CI/CD gates, and CSPM rules to enforce secure defaults at scale. Hands-On Testing & Hardening: Perform cloud-native testing (IAM escalation, container escape attempts, infra abuse) and guide fixes directly via PRs. DevSecOps Enablement: Pair with platform teams, review Terraform/CloudFormation/Kubernetes, and promote least privilege, logging, and runtime controls. Knowledge Sharing: Contribute to documentation, demos, and continuous learning within the team. What You Bring Must-Haves Deep AWS internals knowledge Technical/IT degree (2:1 or above) Proven threat-modelling experience (STRIDE, attack trees, etc.) Strong coding skills (Python, Go, Rust, etc.) IaC expertise - Terraform, CrossPlane, Pulumi, CloudFormation, AWS CDK CI/CD security automation experience (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.) Nice-to-Haves AWS Security Specialty, SANS, OSCP (skills over certificates, though!) Multi-cloud or hybrid security experience Container security & supply-chain/SBOM tooling Applied cryptography fundamentals (KMS, envelope encryption, etc.) Incident response or red/blue/purple team exposure OSS security contributions or AWS community involvement
