Job description

I’m looking for a Cloud Security Engineer for a 12‑month contract in South Wales (onsite, inside IR35, up to £550/day).

Focus: configuring AWS/Azure native security controls, building IR/ops runbooks, and running end‑to‑end cloud risk assessments and remediation. You should be hands‑on with GuardDuty/Security Hub and Defender for Cloud/Azure Policy, and comfortable owning hardening and guardrails. Active DV required. If that’s you (or someone on your network), let’s talk.
