Full-Time | Permanent
Hybrid Working
£35,000 - £61,000 DOE
MCS Group is delighted to be partnering with a global technology-driven organisation to recruit multiple Cloud Product Security Engineers across mid to senior levels.
This is an opportunity to join a highly engineering-focused security team building enterprise-scale cloud security capabilities directly into modern platforms, infrastructure, and developer workflows.
If you're looking for a role where you can combine software engineering, cloud engineering, and security engineering, this is one of the strongest opportunities currently available in the local market.
The Role
My client is looking for hands-on engineers who want to build and operate cloud-native security capabilities rather than work in traditional compliance or governance-heavy security environments.
You'll design, develop, and maintain security controls integrated directly into cloud platforms, CI/CD pipelines, enterprise services, and modern application environments. The team operates with a strong product engineering mindset, owning solutions end-to-end from design through deployment and operational support.
This role offers exposure to large-scale cloud environments, modern DevOps practices, and highly collaborative engineering teams.
Key Responsibilities
Cloud Security Engineering
- Design, build, and operate cloud-native security controls across AWS and/or Azure environments
- Develop preventative, detective, and responsive security capabilities for cloud-hosted workloads
- Engineer and maintain CSPM and DLP capabilities across enterprise cloud platforms
- Integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines and shared enterprise services
Detection, Automation & Response
- Build detection logic, automation, and response mechanisms to improve security operations
- Integrate cloud security tooling with SIEM and monitoring platforms
- Support incident response activities through improved detections and recovery mechanisms
- Contribute to post-incident improvements and continuous optimisation of controls
Modern Engineering Practices
- Apply Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, and automated testing practices across security solutions
- Develop scalable, reliable, production-grade software and cloud services
- Collaborate closely with platform engineers, developers, and product teams
- Support continuous improvement across cloud security engineering practices
About You
Essential
- Experience in software engineering, cloud engineering, or security engineering environments
- Strong programming skills in at least one modern language such as Python, Java, or JavaScript
- Hands-on experience with AWS and/or Azure
- Understanding of cloud-native architectures and modern engineering practices
- Experience building or supporting cloud security controls and automation
- Familiarity with CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, and cloud automation tooling
Desirable
- Experience with CSPM, DLP, SIEM, or cloud security tooling
- Exposure to detection engineering, incident response, or security automation
- Understanding of secure cloud design principles and distributed systems
- Experience with policy-as-code, drift detection, or automated remediation
- Background in large-scale enterprise or regulated environments
What's on Offer
- Salary ranging from £35,000 - £61,000 depending on experience and level
- Hybrid working with strong flexibility
- Opportunity to work on genuinely modern cloud and security engineering challenges
- Strong technical culture with an engineering-first mindset
- Exposure to enterprise-scale cloud environments and modern DevOps practices
- Clear progression opportunities into senior technical leadership or specialist engineering pathways
