Cloud Security Engineer

I'm partnered exclusively with a high-growth, product-led tech business on their search for a Cloud Security Engineer, who will be landing in a global environment backed by significant private investment, serving millions of users worldwide.

Location: London (Hybrid, 3 days per week onsite)

Salary: £120k + benefits

You'll be part of building AI-driven, privacy-first platforms that handle highly sensitive user data. This is a key hire within a central platform engineering function, focused on embedding security into the foundations of a modern cloud-native environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Embedding security-by-design across cloud infrastructure, engineering platforms, and developer tooling
• Driving security-as-code across infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and container environments
• Owning and enhancing cloud security posture across AWS (eg threat detection, vulnerability management, patching)
• Securing container ecosystems - image hardening, signing, verification, and policy enforcement
• Implementing and maintaining policy-as-code frameworks to enforce security standards at scale
• Building security observability and metrics to provide insight into risk and performance
• Supporting privacy-first architecture for large-scale, sensitive user data environments
• Collaborating cross-functionally to drive security culture, standards, and best practice

You must have:

• Proven experience in Cloud Security/Security Engineering/Infrastructure Security roles
• Strong expertise in AWS security services and cloud-native security principles
• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or similar)
• Solid knowledge of Kubernetes and container security (image hardening, runtime controls, admission policies)
• Experience implementing identity and access management (SSO, OAuth, SAML, JWT)
• Strong Scripting/automation skills (Python, Bash, etc.)
• Understanding of network security and secure architecture principles
• Experience embedding security into SDLC/DevSecOps environments

You'll be working on large-scale, high-impact platforms where security is critical, with the opportunity to shape it at a foundational level. The environment is modern and cloud-native, built around DevSecOps best practices, and backed by a strong engineering culture that values autonomy, ownership, and pace.
