Principal AWS Security Engineer

We are partnering with a leading technology company, recognised as an innovator in its field, to find a Principal Cloud Security Engineer. This is a critical, senior-level role within the organisation, and the successful candidate will collaborate closely with the Director of Cyber Security and the CTO to drive the company’s cloud security strategy forward.

As a Principal Cloud Security Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and implementing robust cloud security measures across both AWS (70%) and Azure (30%) environments. It’s essential that you can demonstrate extensive, hands-on experience at a senior, principal, or lead level, having held similar positions across multiple roles.

This is not just about ticking boxes – we are looking for someone with a deep technical understanding and tenure at a senior level in cloud security engineering. You must be able to act as a true Subject Matter Expert (SME), capable of architecting, implementing, and overseeing security solutions that protect large-scale cloud infrastructures. Expertise across both AWS and Azure is critical.

The ideal candidate will hold:

• AWS Certified Security – Speciality and AWS Certified Solutions Architect certifications (strongly preferred).
• Additional certifications such as CCSP or CISSP would be highly advantageous.

This is a pure cloud security engineering position, with the focus squarely on delivering cutting-edge cloud security solutions. If you have the track record, depth of expertise, and leadership experience to take on this challenge, we want to hear from you.

The role offers a fully remote setup with a competitive base salary of £110k-£120k plus a performance-related bonus.
