Job description

Ready to lead a team while staying deeply hands‑on? This critical, autonomous role places you at the forefront of defence across our expansive multi‑cloud environment (AWS, GCP, Azure). You will design, implement, and automate security best practices, driving strategy and leveraging cutting‑edge technology to defeat sophisticated cyber threats. Your key responsibility is securing our latest AI infrastructure (Maia/Bedrock). This highly visible role also involves directly mentoring a junior but eager team, helping them build confidence and technical expertise. If you are an innovator ready to blend technical leadership with hands‑on security implementation, this is the challenge for you.

Responsibilities

• Lead the entire Infrastructure and Cloud Security domain, building defence and security best practices across our multi‑cloud environment (AWS, GCP, Azure).
• Act as a hands‑on technical leader, coaching and guiding a junior team to improve their confidence and technical progress.
• Drive key projects, including securing Matillion's AI infrastructure and the data associated with it (using technologies like Bedrock and Cloud).
• Develop and implement security automation, utilising AI and cutting‑edge technologies to enhance our cyber attack response capabilities.
• Collaborate heavily with other departments (IT, Sales, etc.) to detect malicious activities, educate on security risk, and manage the overall security posture. Very strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex security risks to both technical engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
• Fluent in AWS cloud and cloud security, with experience in GCP and Azure considered a bonus.
• Strong background in coding and automation; this role requires someone very technical who has built custom automation or workflows to solve security problems.
• Hands on cloud security and security incident response lead who has managed high profile public security incidents.
• Experience with cutting‑edge technology, AI, and developing solutions where no end‑to‑end workflow currently exists. Matillion is the intelligent data integration platform.
