Hire cloud security engineers in the UK

What cloud security engineers are paid, what to name in the advert, and who you are up against — from the adverts on Cyber Security Jobs, not a survey. Looking for the roles themselves? See Cloud Security Engineer jobs.

What you will pay

£54k to £90k, most around £72k

The range employers advertised for cloud security engineers on Cyber Security Jobs over the last 12 months, base salary only, across 18 priced adverts. Adverts that state a salary get more applications than those that hide it, and a figure at or above the midpoint is the single cheapest thing you can do for the response.

  • Remote or anchored

    A fully remote role draws the whole country and can pay a little under the London figure; an anchored one competes locally and cannot.

  • Greenfield or inherited

    Building from nothing is worth more to the right person than running what exists, and they will ask which it is.

  • Someone senior to learn from

    A strong lead in the team is worth thousands on the offer; without one, expect to pay for that experience directly.
