I'm looking for a hands-on Cloud Security Engineering expert to come and join one of the most advanced financial technology firms in the Netherlands.

You’ll join the Security Engineering function, helping secure one of the market’s most advanced platforms. This is a highly hands-on engineering role focused on securing multi-cloud environments across Azure, AWS and GCP, protecting Kubernetes platforms and containerised workloads, and embedding security throughout CI/CD pipelines, IaC, and distributed microservices architectures.

Key Responsibilties:

• Designing and implementing security controls across multi-cloud environments
• Securing Kubernetes clusters and containerised workloads at scale
• Build and maintain security within CI/CD pipelines (GitOps, IaC, automated controls)
• Implement runtime security, network policies, and workload isolation
• Partner with engineering teams to embed security into the SDLC
• Conduct threat modelling, risk assessments, and incident response planning
• Drive DevSecOps best practices across platform and product teams
• Secure high-throughput, real-time payment systems with strict compliance requirements

Key Requirements:

• Minimum 5 years of experience in Cloud Security Engineering - non negotiable
• You have worked in a high-ticket environment, preferably within the Financial Services space
• Deep understanding of container environments and Linux systems
• A deep engineering proficiency in Golang/Kubernetes operation development
• Application-level security considerations, holding a true "full-stack" security perspective across different archtiecture environments
• Deep knowledge of the wider CI/CD ecosystem (GitHub hardening, organisational controls, defence-in-depth approaches)
