Cloud Security | Kubernetes | CSPM | DevSecOps
I'm working with a specialist cyber security consultancy looking for an experienced Senior Cloud Security Engineer to join its growing Professional Services team.
This is a hands-on technical consulting role focused on designing, implementing and improving security across complex enterprise cloud environments.
We're particularly interested in engineers with strong experience around Kubernetes and container security, Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), cloud security architecture and integration of security tooling into SIEM/SOAR environments.
You'll work directly with customer Cloud, DevOps, Platform and Security teams, helping them understand their current security posture and implement practical improvements across their cloud environments.
Senior Cloud Security Engineer - Responsibilities:
Design and implement security controls across AWS, Azure and/or GCP
Assess cloud environments and identify security risks, misconfigurations and areas for improvement
Secure Kubernetes clusters and containerised workloads
Implement and optimise CSPM and wider cloud security tooling
Integrate cloud security platforms with SIEM, SOAR and security operations workflows
Improve security across IAM, networking, workloads, applications and cloud platform services
Support vulnerability and exposure management across cloud environments
Embed security controls into CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code workflows
Senior Cloud Security Engineer - Requirements:
Strong hands-on experience in Cloud Security Engineering or Cloud Security Consulting
Strong knowledge of AWS, Azure and/or GCP security
Practical experience securing Kubernetes and container environments
Experience implementing CSPM/cloud security posture management
Experience integrating security tooling with SIEM/SOAR platforms
Strong understanding of IAM, cloud networking, workloads and application security
Understanding of vulnerability and exposure management within cloud environments
Experience working with Terraform, CloudFormation or other Infrastructure as Code technologies
Understanding of DevSecOps and CI/CD security
Strong customer-facing and consulting skills
Senior Cloud Security Engineer - Nice to have:
Experience delivering security projects across large enterprise or regulated environments
Multi-cloud security experience
Experience with CNAPP platforms and broader capabilities such as CSPM, CWP/CWPP and CIEM
Experience with security automation and remediation workflows
Relevant certifications such as CCSP, AWS Security Specialty, AZ-500, Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer or CKS
Experience mentoring engineers or providing technical leadership on customer engagements
The Opportunity
This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants to remain technically hands-on while taking ownership of complex customer cloud security projects.
You'll work across different technologies and enterprise environments rather than maintaining a single internal platform, with significant exposure to cloud security engineering, Kubernetes security, security tooling, automation and architecture.
As the cloud security capability continues to grow, there will also be opportunities to influence technical standards, delivery methodologies and the development of new cloud security services.
If you're a Cloud Security Engineer or Consultant who enjoys solving complex technical problems and working directly with customers, I'd be interested in speaking with you.
