to embed with engineering teams and drive practical, code-first cloud security in a regulated environment. This is a delivery-focused role for someone who can assess, build, test, and automate - not just advise. AWS Cloud Security Architect Role Overview:
You will work directly with product and platform teams to analyse architectures, model attack paths, and implement security controls through code and automation. You’ll help teams meet regulatory expectations while still shipping at speed. On any given week, you may threat model a new service, assess CI/CD pipelines, build security tooling, or run hands-on cloud security testing to validate controls. What You’ll Be Doing What You’ll Be Doing
Break down AWS-backed services, map trust boundaries, build attack trees, and define security requirements early in delivery. Security Automation
Build IaC-driven controls, custom Lambda/Step Functions, CI/CD policy gates, and CSPM rules to enforce secure defaults at scale. Perform cloud-native testing (IAM privilege escalation paths, container/workload attacks, misconfiguration exploitation) and guide remediation via pull requests. DevSecOps Enablement
Pair with engineers, review Terraform/CloudFormation/Kubernetes, and promote least privilege, logging, monitoring, and runtime protection. Knowledge Sharing
