Cloud Security Engineer
La Fosse · London, England ·
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.
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 (e.g. 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
- 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)
- 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.
