AWS Cloud Security Specialist - Python IaaC
AWS Cloud Security Specialist Python IaC is a good title and aligns with the JD.
A few considerations:
AWS Cloud Security Specialist captures the primary cloud/security focus
Python important development skill
IaC (Infrastructure as Code) relevant and searchable (better abbreviation is IaC not IaaC)
Recommended final title:
AWS Cloud Security Specialist Python IaC
Alternative if you want to emphasize broader cloud engineering:
AWS Cloud Engineer Security Python & Infrastructure as Code
The first title is better if security is the priority; the second is better if the role is more cloud platform/infrastructure focused.
