Chatham or Wolverhampton

£80,000-£100,000 + bonus

Work on enterprise-grade cloud security projects while earning up to £100,000.

You'll get hybrid working, generous perks and a clear path to senior leadership.

With 2-3 days in the office and the rest remote, you can focus on what matters without wasting time on commutes.

You'll join a high-impact security team and work on cutting-edge Azure cloud solutions that shape the group’s secure cloud infrastructure. You’ll get the chance to develop your expertise in areas like Zero Trust, DevSecOps and automation while working with the latest cloud security tools and frameworks.

Here you’ll have a direct path to associate directorship inside 2 years, with structured support and progression.

What you’ll do

You’ll lead the design and implementation of secure cloud services, mainly focusing on Azure, within a self-service model. This means shaping the architecture and security standards from the ground up.

As the cloud security expert, you’ll embed security principles across compute, storage, networking, RBAC and containerised environments. You’ll build scalable, compliant solutions using Security-as-Code, Terraform and native cloud tooling.

Working closely with delivery teams, you’ll ensure security is integrated at every layer of the cloud ecosystem. You’ll also drive the DevSecOps mindset, integrating monitoring, alerting and incident response into group-level processes.

What you’ll need

Proven experience in cloud security engineering within an enterprise setting, preferably on Microsoft Azure.

Solid background in foundational security design – from identity and access management to secure networking, container platforms (Kubernetes / AKS) and infrastructure protection.

Hands-on knowledge of DevSecOps, IaC (Terraform), CI/CD pipelines and tools like Veracode, Trivy and Checkov.

Familiarity with standards such as CIS, NIST, GDPR, ISO and frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.

Strong programming / scripting skills (Python, Go, Groovy) with a clean, secure coding ethos.

Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate or AWS equivalent is essential, along with Cyber Essentials / NCSC certification (or similar).
