AWS Security Architect

Lynx are working with a leading consultancy who partner with fast-moving engineering teams who build and run their businesses in the cloud. They need pragmatic, code-literate security specialists.

The Role They're looking for a hands-on AWS Security Architect who lives and breathes AWS. You'll dissect designs, model attack paths, and show engineering teams what good really looks like. Depending on the engagement, you might run a threat model, assess CI/CD pipelines, learn a vendor DSL for a PoC, or build internal tooling. They don't expect you to know everything - just to be curious, practical, and willing to dive in.

What You'll Do Threat Modelling & Architecture Reviews:
Break down AWS services, map trust boundaries, build attack trees, and define security requirements before code ships. Security Automation:
Build IaC-driven checks, Lambda/Step Function tooling, CI/CD gates, and CSPM rules to enforce secure defaults ds-On Testing & Hardening:
Perform cloud-native testing (IAM escalation, container escape attempts, infra abuse) and guide fixes directly via PRs. Dev Sec Ops  Enablement:
Pair with platform teams, review Terraform/Cloud Formation/Kubernetes, and promote least privilege, logging, and runtime controls.
