Role

Are you a Dev Ops or Cloud Engineer who enjoys the security side of what you do and wants to make it a bigger part of your career?

This is an opportunity to join a technology business at an important point in its cloud and security journey.

Over the last two years, the business has been focused on moving its hosting into the cloud, predominantly across AWS, while continuing to grow its Azure footprint. There are still client environments being migrated, alongside a wider focus on improving security, reducing technical debt and strengthening the overall cloud platform.

Security currently sits within the Dev Ops/Platform function, and with the business working towards SOC 2 compliance by Q1 2027, they’re looking for someone who can bring together strong Dev Ops fundamentals with a security-first mindset.

Responsibilities

You'll work across Dev Ops, Cloud and Security, helping to build more secure, observable and resilient cloud environments.

Day to day, this could include:

Improving security across AWS and Azure cloud environments
Working with AWS security services including Guard Duty, Cloud Trail, IAM and Security Hub
Working across Azure security services such as Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Entra , Key Vault and Azure Policy
Strengthening identity and access management, including RBAC, least-privilege access and authentication controls
Building security controls and best practices into CI/CD pipelines
Supporting Infrastructure as Code and embedding security into cloud deployments
Improving cloud monitoring, logging, alerting and observability
Identifying vulnerabilities, cloud misconfigurations and potential security risks
Helping embed a Zero Trust approach across infrastructure and cloud services
Automating repetitive security and infrastructure processes
Supporting ongoing client migrations into AWS and Azure
Working alongside the wider Platform/Dev Ops and Compliance functions as the business progresses towards SOC 2 compliance
Helping shift security further left within the engineering lifecycle

Required Skills

You don't need to be a career Security Engineer.

We're looking for someone with a strong Dev Ops, Platform or Cloud Engineering background who has naturally gravitated towards security and wants that to become a bigger part of their role.

Experience across some of the following would be valuable:

AWS experience, ideally with exposure to IAM, Guard Duty, Cloud Trail and/or Security Hub
Azure experience, particularly around Defender for Cloud, Entra /IAM, Key Vault, Azure Policy and cloud security best practices
Infrastructure as Code such as Terraform or Cloud Formation
CI/CD tooling such as Git Hub Actions, Git Lab CI, Azure Dev Ops or Jenkins
Linux environments
Scripting and automation using Python, Bash or Power Shell
Monitoring, logging and observability tooling
Vulnerability management and cloud security scanning
Secrets and key management
IAM, RBAC and least-privilege access

Most importantly, you'll have a security-first mindset. You might currently be the Dev Ops Engineer who is always thinking about IAM policies, vulnerabilities, cloud configuration, access controls and how infrastructure could be made more secure.

If that's the direction you want your career to go, this role gives you the opportunity to make that transition.

Why should I apply?

This isn't a role where you'll simply inherit a finished platform and keep the lights on.

The business is still evolving its cloud environment, migrating clients, growing its Azure footprint and tackling technical debt, meaning there is plenty to get involved with and improve.
