Are you ready to shape the future of cloud security for a major organisation?

As part of this evolution, they’ve launched a brand-new Cloud Centre of Excellence and we’re on the hunt for a Cloud Security Engineer to be at the heart of this strategic initiative.

This is a pivotal role where you’ll blend hands-on technical expertise with forward-looking strategy to design and implement enterprise-grade cloud security solutions on a self-service cloud platform. You’ll be part of a high-impact team working cross-functionally to enable secure innovation across the Group.

You’ll be:

Leading the design and implementation of secure cloud services (primarily Azure) within a self-service model.

Acting as the cloud security SME, embedding security principles across compute, storage, networking, RBAC, and containerised environments.

Building scalable, compliant solutions using Security-as-Code, Terraform, and native cloud tooling.

Collaborating closely with delivery teams and representing Group Information Security (GIS) to ensure security is woven into every layer of the cloud ecosystem.

Driving the DevSecOps mindset and ensuring integration with Group-level security processes such as monitoring, alerting, and incident response.

Proven experience in cloud security engineering within an enterprise setting, preferably on Microsoft Azure.

Solid background in foundational security design – from identity and access management to secure networking, container platforms (Kubernetes / AKS), and infrastructure protection.

Hands-on knowledge of DevSecOps, IaC (Terraform), CI/CD pipelines, and tools like Veracode, Trivy, and Checkov.

Familiarity with standards such as CIS, NIST, GDPR, ISO and frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.

Strong programming / scripting skills (Python, Go, Groovy) with a clean, secure coding ethos.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

Expert in Azure cloud security services (Defender for Cloud, Azure Sentinel, Key Vault, APIM)

Strong advocate of Zero Trust models and secure development practices

Experienced in SIEM & SOAR, ideally with tools like Rapid7

Excellent communicator with the ability to influence at all levels

Passionate about cloud innovation and continuous security improvement

Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate or AWS equivalent

Cyber Essentials / NCSC certification (or similar)

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising cyber security jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.

Penetration Tester Jobs in the UK: What Employers Actually Want in 2026

The demand for skilled professionals in cyber security has never been higher, and penetration testers sit at the very heart of this rapidly evolving industry.

If you are considering a career in this field—or looking to advance within it—it is essential to understand what employers are really looking for in 2026. This guide breaks down the current expectations, required skills, certifications, and practical experience that can help you stand out in a competitive job market.
