Job Specifications

Senior Cloud & Information Security Engineer | FinTech | London (Hybrid)

Outside IR35 Contract

The Opportunity We are recruiting on behalf of a leading FinTech firm that is currently scaling its digital infrastructure to meet the demands of the global financial markets. We are seeking a Senior Cloud & Information Security Engineer to take full technical ownership of our client’s security posture and cloud environment.

This is a critical "builder" role for a security specialist who thrives at the intersection of Infrastructure Engineering and Cyber Defense. You will not just be setting policies; you will be designing, implementing, and operating the secure systems that protect critical financial data.

The Role & Impact

As the technical authority for cloud infrastructure and information security, you will ensure that "security-by-design" is baked into every deployment:

Security Ownership: Lead the implementation of day-to-day safeguards, including vulnerability management, hardening, and identity/access controls (MFA, Least Privilege).
Cloud Infrastructure: Design and maintain resilient cloud environments (Azure/AWS), leveraging Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and automation to ensure high availability and encryption.
DevSecOps: Embed security into the heart of the CI/CD pipeline, supporting secure change management and technical auditability.
Technical Assurance: Lead the technical side of penetration testing and vulnerability scans, translating findings into robust, concrete technical fixes.
Incident Response: Act as the Technical Lead during security incidents, driving forensic investigations, containment, and recovery.

Who You Are

The Technical Hybrid: You have 5-8 years of hands-on experience across both Cloud Engineering and Information Security within the Finance or FinTech sector.
Infrastructure Expert: You have a deep understanding of cloud networking, configuration management (Terraform/Ansible), and automation tooling.
Security Minded: You have practical experience applying security frameworks (such as ISO 27001 or NIST) within a high-stakes, regulated environment.
Regulatory Savvy: You are comfortable providing technical evidence for audits and regulatory reviews (e.g., FCA).
Qualified: You hold a degree in Computer Science or Data Engineering, ideally supported by certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, or specific Cloud Security credentials.

Package & Culture

Location: Central London (Hybrid working model).
Compensation: Outside IR35, £500-£600 per day
Environment: A collaborative, engineering-first culture where you are given the autonomy to own the technical security roadmap.
