The Role

What if your deep expertise in cloud security could directly protect the architectures that power modern enterprises? We're looking for a Principal Cloud Security Architect to assess large-scale cloud environments, uncover architectural risks, and deliver the kind of structured, actionable guidance that actually moves the needle on security posture.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. If you have serious cloud security chops and a sharp eye for what can go wrong — this is the work you've been waiting for.
What You'll Do
Evaluate cloud architectures across AWS, Azure, and GCP for security gaps and structural weaknesses
Review IAM configurations, permission models, network segmentation, and resource policies in depth
Identify misconfigurations, privilege escalation risks, and insecure architectural patterns
Produce clear, structured reports documenting architectural flaws and prioritised mitigation guidance
Validate cloud environments against recognised security frameworks and industry best practices
Support recurring assessments across evolving cloud environments and deployment patterns
Who You Are
Deep, hands-on experience in cloud security architecture — you've seen what breaks and you know why
Strong command of IAM design, network architecture, and cloud service models across major providers
Ability to translate complex security findings into clear, structured documentation for technical and non-technical audiences
Methodical and thorough — you don't miss things, and you explain what you find with precision
Nice To Have
Experience with multi-cloud environments, zero-trust architecture, or high-compliance regulated industries
Familiarity with frameworks such as CIS Benchmarks, NIST CSF, SOC 2, or cloud-native security tools
Background in security consulting, red team assessments, or enterprise architecture reviews
Why Join Us
Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule from anywhere
Freelance autonomy with meaningful, high-impact technical engagements
Work on complex, real-world cloud environments that actually challenge your skills
Contribute findings that drive lasting security improvements at scale
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new assessments are scoped
