You will design, build, and implement security solutions in real customer environments — writing infrastructure as code, engineering detective and preventive controls, and architecting security into workloads from the ground up. You'll work at the intersection of cloud architecture and security engineering, helping customers embed security as a foundational capability rather than an afterthought. The emphasis in this role is on engineering automated, repeatable security controls that scale across complex environments. You'll partner with customers navigating complex cloud transformations — helping them build security architectures that are automated, scalable, and operationally sustainable. You will bring deep knowledge of AWS security services and a builder's mindset, working across identity, network security, data protection, detection and response, and infrastructure security — designing solutions that let customers move fast and stay secure. As a trusted technical advisor, you will guide customers through security architecture decisions, threat modelling, and the implementation of security controls across multi-account environments. You will lead by building — producing working code, reusable patterns, and reference architectures that customers and the broader community can adopt.
Key job responsibilities
- Delivering security outcomes within customer engagements — designing and implementing automated security controls, architectures, and patterns within defined project workstreams using AWS security services and infrastructure as code.
- Solving security challenges independently — working across domains such as identity and access management, network security, data protection, and detection and response to build solutions tailored to customer environments.
- Collaborating with project teams and stakeholders — partnering with fellow consultants, customer engineers, and account teams to define and implement security solutions, and identifying follow‑on opportunities where AWS can deliver additional value.
- Managing and escalating risks — proactively identifying security and delivery risks, presenting options and recommendations, and driving resolution within your workstream.
- Developing depth as a security domain expert — building recognised expertise in at least one security domain while maintaining broad working knowledge across AWS security services.
- Contributing to the broader security practice — participating in internal initiatives, contributing to reusable security content and reference architectures, and supporting knowledge sharing across the team.
Basic Qualifications
- Experience as a technical specialist in design and architecture.
- Experience architecting, securing, and operating Amazon Web Services.
- Experience with automation or scripting languages such as Python, Java, Perl, PHP, Ruby, Bash or Shell.
- Experience in one or more of the following domains: access control systems and methodology, network security, application- and system-development security, security architecture and models, cryptography, and operations security.
- Experience writing infrastructure as code using CloudFormation, CDK or Terraform.
- Ability to independently troubleshoot and resolve technical security challenges in distributed cloud environments.
- UK citizenship and eligibility to obtain and maintain UK Security Clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in IT consulting or management with IT transformation in a customer‑facing role.
- Experience implementing multi‑account security architectures using AWS Organizations, SCPs and AWS Control Tower.
- Experience building automated detection or remediation workflows such as EventBridge, Lambda or Security Hub custom actions.
- Experience securing workloads in regulated or government environments.
- Familiarity with container or serverless security (ECS, EKS, Lambda security configurations).
- AWS Security Specialty or AWS Solutions Architect Professional certification.
