This is an opportunity to join a highly engineering-focused security team building enterprise-scale cloud security capabilities directly into modern platforms, infrastructure, and developer workflows. If you're looking for a role where you can combine software engineering, cloud engineering, and security engineering, this is one of the strongest opportunities currently available in the local market. The Role My client is looking for hands-on engineers who want to build and operate cloud-native security capabilities rather than work in traditional compliance or governance-heavy security environments. You'll design, develop, and maintain security controls integrated directly into cloud platforms, CI/CD pipelines, enterprise services, and modern application environments. The team operates with a strong product engineering mindset, owning solutions end-to-end from design through deployment and operational support. This role offers exposure to large-scale cloud environments, modern DevOps practices, and highly collaborative engineering teams., Cloud Security Engineering * Design, build, and operate cloud-native security controls across AWS and/or Azure environments * Develop preventative, detective, and responsive security capabilities for cloud-hosted workloads * Engineer and maintain CSPM and DLP capabilities across enterprise cloud platforms * Integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines and shared enterprise services Detection, Automation & Response * Build detection logic, automation, and response mechanisms to improve security operations * Integrate cloud security tooling with SIEM and monitoring platforms * Support incident response activities through improved detections and recovery mechanisms * Contribute to post-incident improvements and continuous optimisation of controls Modern Engineering Practices * Apply Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, and automated testing practices across security solutions * Develop scalable, reliable, production-grade software and cloud services * Collaborate closely with platform engineers, developers, and product teams * Support continuous improvement across cloud security engineering practices ## Related Videos - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Policy as [versioned] code - you're doing it wrong](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/532-policy-as-versioned-code-you-re-doing-it-wrong) - [Tomorrow's cloud data platforms - fully managed database-as-a-service (DBaaS)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/254-tomorrow-s-cloud-data-platforms-fully-managed-database-as-a-service-dbaas) - [You can’t hack what you can’t see](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/41-you-can-t-hack-what-you-can-t-see) - [30 powerful AWS hacks in just 30 minutes: Boost your developer productivity](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1624-30-powerful-aws-hacks-in-just-30-minutes-boost-your-developer-productivity) ## Related Articles - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
