DevSecOps Security Engineer - AWS, Cloud, Security

Cambridge / Hybrid - £80,000 - £100,000 (DOE)

About the Company

A rare opportunity to join one of Cambridge's leading AI innovators, a business shaping the future of intelligent automation and rapidly outpacing its competitors. This is a chance to be part of a high‑growth technical environment where engineering excellence and security maturity sit at the heart of the organisation's ambitions.

Role Overview

We are seeking a DevSecOps Security Engineer to help elevate security across cloud platforms, delivery tooling, and production environments. You'll play a central role in embedding modern defensive practices, advancing automation, and strengthening engineering resilience across the organisation.

This position requires being on‑site in Cambridge three days per week, so applicants should be comfortable with a regular hybrid working pattern.

Platform Security & Automation

* Introduce protective validation steps throughout software delivery workflows, covering code quality, open‑source components, and container images.

* Engineer automated mechanisms that streamline compliance reporting and reduce operational overhead.

* Enforce policy‑driven safeguards within infrastructure deployment processes.

* Improve credential management approaches and mature access governance practices.

Exposure Management & Technical Controls

* Assist in reviewing weaknesses across applications and infrastructure and support risk‑based prioritisation.

* Partner with engineering teams to resolve issues efficiently and pragmatically.

* Refine detection tooling by tuning logic and reducing unnecessary or inaccurate alerts.

Operational Readiness & Observability

* Strengthen visibility across systems through improved log pipelines, alerting pathways, and monitoring strategies.

* Contribute to updating response guidelines, runbooks, and incident‑handling materials.

* Support initiatives aimed at enhancing defensive posture and operational robustness across platforms.

Core Requirements

* Strong experience in DevSecOps, cloud security, or infrastructure security functions.

* Hands‑on knowledge of modern CI/CD pipelines and automation tooling.

* Proven background securing AWS environments (Azure or GCP is also valuable).

* Practical experience with security scanning, vulnerability tooling, and tuning to improve accuracy.

* Proficiency in automation or scripting languages such as Python or Bash.

* Experience delivering infrastructure through IaC tooling such as Terraform or CloudFormation.

Preferred Background & Additional Capabilities

* Knowledge of securing containerised environments and orchestration platforms.

* Experience working within assurance‑focused frameworks including ISO 27001, SOC 2, or NIST.

* Familiarity with automated governance and policy‑driven cloud controls.

* Exposure to investigative, detection, or security operations workflows.

Qualifications That Would Be Beneficial

* Industry security certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, or GSEC.

* Cloud‑focused qualifications like AWS Security Specialty, AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Security Engineer Associate, or Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer.

* DevOps and automation‑related certifications such as Terraform Associate, CKA/CKAD, or Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS).

* Compliance and governance accreditations including ISO 27001 Lead Implementer/Lead Auditor, CompTIA Security+, or NIST‑aligned training.

* Relevant computing or cybersecurity degree (BSc/MSc) or equivalent practical experience.

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: salaries, hiring trends and the AWS, Azure and GCP skills shaping UK cloud careers over the next three years. Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
