AWS Security Architect

Project overview

AWS Cloud Security Architect | 6-Month Contract | London/Remote

I'm currently looking for a hands-on AWS Cloud Security Architect to join a major financial services environment on an initial 6-month contract.

London - 1/2 days per week

Remote the remainder

6-month contract

This is a role for someone who can architect AND build - not simply produce diagrams or oversee implementation.

What I'm looking for: Strong AWS security architecture experience

AWS Control Tower & Landing Zones

AWS Config & CloudTrail

IAM, KMS & Secrets Manager

Threat Detection & Security Monitoring

AWS Network Security/Protection

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & hands-on implementation

Strong Financial Services/regulated industry experience

Data sovereignty, encryption at rest & in transit

AWS Well-Architected Framework

AWS Certified Security - Specialty is highly desirable and for this requirement, effectively a must-have. CISSP or other relevant security certifications would be a strong bonus.

You'll also need to be comfortable speaking directly with clients, explaining complex security decisions clearly and advising them on AWS best practice.

If you're an AWS Security Architect who enjoys getting into the technical detail and actually building secure cloud environments, this could be a very strong opportunity.

Interested?

Send me your updated CV, current/expected day rate, and earliest available start date and I'll come back to you with the full details.
