Cloud Data Security Engineer

Job: Cloud Data Security Engineer

Location: Dublin (2 days a week onsite min)

Type: Long term Contract (min 12 months)

Rate: 420-450 per day.

We are looking for a hands-on engineer, not an architect. Someone who builds, configures, and operates security controls day-to-day - not someone who mainly writes standards/frameworks and hands off implementation to others.

The MUST HAVES for this role are:

Hands-on production experience securing AWS, Azure, or GCP - IAM, network security, encryption, workload protection (actually configured these, not just reviewed)

Hands-on implementation of data protection controls in Microsoft Purview (or a close equivalent - e.g. Varonis, BigID)

Track record running control governance/remediation - i.e. has actually closed out non-compliance findings, not just reported them

Comfortable working directly with Data/Privacy/Legal/IT stakeholders on control implementation

Strong plus:

Data breadth beyond pure cloud security: data classification, rights management (DRM/IRM), data or AI security posture management (DSPM/AISPM). This is the gap the hiring manager is explicitly trying to fill - the previous person didn't have it.

Active interest/use of AI tools, and some grounding in AI data security (e.g. data exposure risks from AI tooling)

This role is not suited to:

Pure architects/strategists with no recent hands-on tooling work

Candidates whose "cloud security" experience is policy-writing only, with no IAM/encryption/workload config on their hands

Candidates with zero data governance exposure (classification, DLP, rights management) - this is the #1 screening filter right now

This job is a brilliant opportunity to join a world leading Aviation business and play a key role in there digital transformation. If you are interested, please send your CV ASAP for immediate consideration.
