Location: Remotely from Poland

Rate:  7000 - 8500 Eur net per month

Cooperation model: B2B

Start date: ASAP

Recruitment process:  3 steps (pre - screening, technical interview, technical task)

Technology stack: Cloud (AWS/Azure), Kubernetes (EKS, AKS), Terraform, Helm, CloudFormation, ARM, Python, Bash, CISSP, CISM, ISO 27001 and/or SOC 2

We are looking for a Senior Cloud Security Operations Engineer who will ensure that cloud environments (AWS and/or Azure) are secure, resilient, and auditable by default.

This role sits at the intersection of Cloud Engineering, SRE, and Security Operations (SecOps). You will play a central role in operating secure production systems under real-world conditions — including threat detection, incident response, system hardening, and continuous security improvement.

You will collaborate closely with Platform Engineering, Production leadership, Data Governance & Compliance teams, and software engineers to ensure infrastructure and security standards scale alongside the business.

This role goes beyond preventative security design — it requires hands-on operational ownership of secure systems in production environments.

Your role:

-> Design, build, and operate AWS and/or Azure infrastructure (VPCs, networking, load balancers, firewalls)

-> Deploy and operate Kubernetes clusters (EKS / AKS) with secure-by-default configurations

-> Build and maintain monitoring, alerting, and observability systems (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, CloudWatch)

-> Act as a key responder during production incidents, including security-related events

-> Lead root-cause analysis (RCA) and drive corrective and preventative improvements

-> Automate infrastructure provisioning and changes using Terraform, Helm, and GitOps practices

-> Operate and secure PostgreSQL databases (backups, replication, access controls, failover strategies)

-> Own and operate security controls across cloud, Kubernetes, networking, and data layers

-> Design and maintain identity and access management (IAM) models, including least-privilege and zero-trust principles

-> Secure Kubernetes environments via RBAC, network policies, secrets management, and cluster hardening

-> Operate SIEM, logging pipelines, threat detection systems, and security analytics workflows

-> Support full lifecycle of security incident response: triage, investigation, containment, and post-incident reviews

Your skills and experiences:

-> 6–8+ years of experience in Cloud Engineering, SRE, DevOps, or Security Operations

-> Strong hands-on experience with AWS and/or Azure in regulated or security-sensitive environments

-> Deep operational experience with Kubernetes (EKS / AKS) and container security

-> Strong Infrastructure-as-Code skills (Terraform, Helm, CloudFormation, ARM)

-> Experience with monitoring, logging, incident response, and on-call environments

-> Practical understanding of cloud security and Kubernetes security patterns

-> Experience with SIEM, IDS/IPS, vulnerability scanning, and alerting tools

-> Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, Bash, or Go)

-> Strong spoken and written English (min C1)
