Cloud Security Engineer

This is a pivotal, hands-on technical role where you will be instrumental in building and securing our entire cloud infrastructure. You'll be working on modern, high-impact projects, including securing our emerging AI workloads and deploying foundational infrastructure for the next phase of our growth. If you are a builder who loves getting into the weeds of technical challenges and wants to make a tangible security impact, this is the role for you. We are looking for a proactive, highly technical individual who thrives on identifying and closing security gaps through automation and tooling. Based in our Manchester office on a hybrid basis, you will be part of an energetic and supportive Information Security team. Come help us maintain and continuously improve our security posture, ensuring we can detect, contain, and recover from security events as quickly and efficiently as possible.

What you will be doing

• Secure all cloud infrastructure from both a deployment and detection standpoint.
• Drive security enhancements and implement new controls across broad-scale cloud and SaaS infrastructure, focusing on areas like encryption, secret management, and network isolation.
• Contribute to continuously raising the security bar for our emerging AI workloads, including the Maia security project.
• Implement new detections for emerging threats by analyzing threat intelligence, building tools, and developing robust automation for manual response processes.
• Serve as a first responder to security incidents, triaging and validating events, and working out the technical implications for the team.

• Strong hands-on experience with cloud platforms, particularly AWS.
• Proficiency in scripting languages like Python and Bash for building automation and tooling.
• Experience in building Infrastructure as Code, such as Terraform or Cloud Formation Template.
• Proven ability to manage, optimize, and use core security tools (e.g., CNAPP, CSPM, EDR, SOAR, SIEM).
• Prior experience in responding to security alerts, detections, and incidents within a fast-paced environment.
