AWS Cloud Security Operations Engineer

Manchester (Hybrid, 3 Days On-Site) - £60,000 - £80,000 + Bonus, Equity, Private Medical & Pension

We're supporting a high-growth technology business that delivers mission-critical software used by law enforcement and emergency services across the UK and US.

As an AWS Cloud Security Operations Engineer, you'll become a key part of a global cybersecurity team, taking ownership of cloud security, vulnerability management, threat intelligence and incident response across a modern AWS environment. This is a genuinely hands-on security engineering position for someone who enjoys solving real security problems rather than writing reports about them.

• Driving vulnerability management across cloud infrastructure, applications and networks
• Identifying, prioritising and remediating security risks
• Researching emerging threats and translating intelligence into actionable security improvements
• Leading and coordinating incident response activities
• Managing and improving AWS security controls and cloud security posture
• Working with SIEM, EDR and monitoring platforms to enhance threat detection capabilities
• Partnering with engineering teams to embed security into cloud platforms and CI/CD pipelines
• Acting as the local security presence within the Manchester office
