Senior Cloud Security Engineer

A Senior Cloud Security Engineer is required to join an industry leading organisation in the energy sector, a genuinely global business with operations spanning multiple continents, thousands of employees.

This is a permanent
, full-time role that is based in Aberdeen (hybrid but can be slightly flexible on location).

This is a great chance to join a well-established IT Security team at a point where there’s real work to be done. With a broad cloud estate spanning IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, including a significant Azure and M365 footprint, cloud security here isn’t a tick-box exercise. You’ll have genuine scope to shape the direction of travel, the support of a capable team and managed service partners, and the backing of senior leadership who take security seriously.

You’ll design and deploy cloud security solutions across the organisation’s IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS estate, while helping develop and maintain security policies and procedures.

Day to day this means conducting assessments and audits, identifying risks, maintaining security controls within Azure Active Directory and Microsoft 365, and playing an active role in incident response, including post-incident reviews and proposing engineering improvements.

You’ll also support cloud security tooling and platforms, contribute to change management forums, and help mentor colleagues across the wider IT function, all while keeping a close eye on the evolving threat landscape and bringing proactive recommendations to the team.

• Extensive experience with cloud technologies, with Microsoft Azure being the priority
• A solid background in delivering Information Security in a modern digital environment
• Experience with Microsoft 365, Azure Active Directory, and ideally Microsoft Purview
• Scripting capability in Power Shell
• Familiarity with frameworks including NIST CSF, ISO
  27001, and GDPR
• Security certifications such as CISSP or CISM (advantageous)
• Azure certifications such as AZ-500 or SC-300 (advantageous)

Don’t worry if you don’t tick every single box. If you have a strong security engineering background and genuine cloud experience, it’s definitely worth a conversation.

The company is at an interesting point in its cloud security maturity. There’s real work to be done, real problems to solve, and real scope to shape policy, tooling, and ways of working for the long term. This isn’t a role where you’ll be maintaining the status quo; you’ll be actively contributing to how cloud security evolves across a major global organisation.
