Senior Security Engineer

About the role:

As Senior Security Engineer you will own security across our cloud environments primarily AWS. Security has been a shared responsibility across the DevOps team and this role formalises that into a dedicated function within DevOps team taking ownership of cloud posture detection identity and shaping the foundations for how it scales.

Youll be working across a diverse and complex environment processing millions of images a day for some of the worlds largest insurers governments and construction firms shaped by real cloud threats like credential abuse privilege escalation and anomalous API usage. The roadmaps signed off so youll spend your time building rather than pitching for budget with real room to grow the function as it scales.

What youll be doing;

• Cloud security posture across our AWS environment including detection pipelines built around real threats like credential abuse privilege escalation and anomalous API usage 
• IAM at scale from workload identity to least-privilege enforcement and policy
• Infrastructure as a code containerised workloads and CI/CD pipelines embedding security into how we ship rather than bolting it on after
• Security education across engineering helping teams make good calls themselves rather than routing everything through one person

Qualifications :

What were looking for;

• 7 years in security engineering cloud security or a platform/DevOps role with a strong security focus
• 5 years of deep hands-on AWS experience across GuardDuty Security Hub Config CloudTrail KMS and IAM
• Solid infrastructure as code experience and comfort scripting in Python Go or Bash  Kubernetes exposure is a genuine plus
• Confidence communicating security risk clearly to both engineers and executives
• A pragmatic streak. You know the difference between what needs to be right today and what can wait and you build security as something that enables engineering not something that blocks it
