## About the Role

Solid hands-on experience securing at least one major cloud platform, with working knowledge of IAM, VPC design and encryption practices

Familiarity with security frameworks such as CIS Benchmarks, NIST or ISO 27001

Scripting ability (Python, Terraform or similar) to automate security checks rather than doing them by hand every time

A methodical approach to problem-solving. Cloud incidents rarely announce themselves clearly

Comfortable explaining technical risk to people who don't live and breathe security, without dumbing it down

Mid-level experience in a cybersecurity or cloud infrastructure role, ideally with some exposure to enterprise-scale environments

## Description

Step into this Cloud Platform Security Engineer role and build something that matters in Cybersecurity.

Cloud breaches don't make headlines because they're rare. They make headlines because so much now runs on infrastructure that was never designed with today's threat landscape in mind. This established security business, an enterprise-scale player with 250+ staff and a client list built on trust rather than trend, is hiring a Cloud Platform Security Engineer to help keep large, complex environments locked down. You'd be joining a team that treats security as a discipline, not an afterthought.

Here's what you'll be doing:

Design and implement security controls across cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or GCP), covering identity, network segmentation and data protection

Monitor cloud environments for misconfigurations, vulnerabilities and anomalous activity, then act on what you find

Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code security baselines so new deployments are secure by default

Work with engineering teams to embed security into CI/CD pipelines rather than bolting it on afterwards

Respond to security incidents involving cloud infrastructure, from triage through to root cause analysis

Produce clear documentation and reporting for audits, compliance reviews and internal stakeholders
