Senior Cloud Security Engineer

Role: Staff Security Engineer

Location: Remote First

Salary: £90,000 - £110,000

Tech: AWS | GCP | Terraform | Python | Wiz | Cloudflare

What if security wasn't there to slow engineering down... but to make it better?

Our client is building one of the UK's most modern cloud security engineering functions, and we're looking for two Staff Security Engineers to help lead that journey.

This isn't a role where you'll spend your days reviewing tickets or writing documentation.

You'll own major security initiatives from concept through to production, building automation, Infrastructure as Code and security controls that directly improve the security posture of a platform serving over four million homes across the UK.

Why join?

✅ Real autonomy - if you have an idea, you'll get the backing to build it.

✅ Huge impact - every security control you deliver has a measurable impact across a large-scale cloud platform.

✅ Security built by engineers - not governance. You'll write Terraform, build Python automation and integrate security into the developer experience.

✅ Modern technology - AWS, GCP, Terraform, Python, Cloudflare, Wiz, CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code.

✅ Work with one of the UK's strongest security engineering leaders - someone who came from software engineering and still enjoys being hands-on.

You'll be responsible for

• Leading security engineering initiatives end-to-end
• Building Terraform modules for cloud security tooling
• Developing Python automation
• Improving Cloudflare and WAF capabilities
• Embedding security into engineering workflows
• Threat modelling across AWS and GCP
• Working directly with engineering teams to make security an enabler, not a blocker

We're looking for

✔ Strong Terraform

✔ Production Python

✔ AWS & GCP Security

✔ CSPM / Wiz

✔ WAF / Cloudflare

✔ Shift Left Engineering

✔ Someone who can independently own complex technical initiatives

If you're looking for a role where you'll genuinely shape the future of cloud security rather than maintain somebody else's platform, I'd love to speak with you.
