[Hiring] Cloud Security Engineer @incident.io

Role Description

Being a Cloud Security Engineer at incident means being the person who keeps the one thing customers rely on when their systems are on fire both up and safe, turning “is this secure?” into “yes, and here’s the proof.”

As a Cloud Security Engineer at incident, you own the security of the cloud infrastructure that runs our platform:

• How it’s built, hardened, monitored, and defended.
• Tightening IAM across our Google Cloud projects.
• Building a Terraform guardrail for engineers.
• Leading investigations into anomalies in audit logs.

You’ll own:

• Cloud posture and hardening across GCP and GKE.
• Identity and access management.
• Security as code in our Terraform and CI/CD pipelines.
• Detection and response.
• Isolation of customer data in our multi-tenant platform.
• Cloud-side controls around our AI features.

We formed our security team this year and there are three of us. We’re hiring a Cloud Security Engineer to give the team real depth in cloud, which means:

• Little process and no approval chains.
• Your fingerprints on everything.
• Authority to block a release when it matters.

We run on Google Cloud and AWS, with Kubernetes, Terraform, Go, Postgres, and TypeScript/React. We lean on Claude and other LLMs to move faster.

Qualifications

• Deep, hands-on cloud security experience, ideally on Google Cloud.
• Strong AWS or Azure depth that transfers is fine.
• Ability to design least-privilege IAM properly.
• Experience securing Kubernetes or container platforms in production.
• Proficient in writing code to fix problems, not just report them.
• Terraform is second nature.
• Experience building cloud detection or investigating cloud incidents.
• Comfortable giving hard feedback to engineers.
• High autonomy; trusted to figure out what needs doing and just do it.

Requirements

• Bonus: Go or Postgres security, policy-as-code, supply chain security, or securing AI/LLM-powered products.

Benefits

• Private medical insurance with seriously good cover.
• Competitive annual leave to ensure you can switch off.
• First Friday of every month off.
• Enhanced pension contributions.
• Meaningful equity as the company scales.
• Unlimited AI spend for everyone.
• Generous parental leave to support early days with a new baby.
• Two budgets: £1000 to invest in your setup, £500 a year to invest in yourself.
