AWS-focused security engineer responsible for remediating vulnerabilities in cloud applications. Collaborating with developers and data engineers to implement secure fixes.
Responsibilities
Own end-to-end remediation of AWS and workload vulnerabilities: confirm findings, assess impact, prioritise actions, and track through to closure.
Partner with Developers and Data Engineers to implement secure fixes in code, infrastructure, and delivery pipelines (IaC, containers, serverless, OS/packages).
Work with the AWS Security Lead to ensure remediation aligns with AWS security controls, internal risk policies, and compliance requirements.
Encryption in transit and at rest using KMS, TLS, and secrets management
Logging and monitoring: CloudTrail, CloudWatch, Config, centralised SIEM patterns
Threat detection and posture management using AWS native services
Strong understanding of modern SDLC, CI/CD, and DevSecOps approaches.
Proven experience managing the full vulnerability lifecycle: triage, prioritisation (CVSS/EPSS/KEV), remediation, verification, and reporting.
Comfortable remediating a wide range of findings: OS/package CVEs, container images, third-party libraries, serverless runtimes, and cloud misconfigurations.
Able to translate security findings into clear, practical tasks for engineering teams and coach on secure implementation.
Infrastructure as Code: Terraform and/or CloudFormation; able to review and fix security weaknesses in IaC.
Scripting/automation skills in Python, Bash, or similar to streamline remediation and control validation.
Familiarity with container and serverless security (ECR, ECS/EKS, Lambda, image scanning, runtime hardening).
Experience with common vulnerability and scanning tools (e.g., AWS Inspector/Security Hub, Snyk, Trivy, Dependabot, Prisma/Qualys/Tenable, etc.).
Security certifications such as AWS Security Specialty, AWS Solutions Architect, or equivalent.
Experience supporting data platforms on AWS (Glue, EMR, Redshift, Athena, RDS, OpenSearch, Kafka/MSK).
Knowledge of secure coding practices in Python/Node/Java or your core development stack.
Highly collaborative and pragmatic; you enjoy working directly with engineers to ship secure fixes quickly.
Strong risk judgement and the ability to balance urgency with operational impact.
Clear communicator who can write concise remediation guidance and present progress to stakeholders.
Ownership mindset: you drive remediation through to completion, not just identification.
