    About the role

    Benefact Group are looking for a Cloud Security Operations Analyst to join our Gloucester office.

    You will play a critical role in safeguarding the organisation's digital assets by proactively managing and enhancing our Cloud security infrastructure. Operating in a DevOps, Cloud-first environment, you will be a key player, responsible for seamlessly integrating security practices into the development and operational workflows.

    This role requires a strong blend of Cloud-focused security expertise and an understanding of DevOps principles, ensuring that security is not a bottleneck but an integral part of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to embed security controls, automate security processes, and maintain a secure and compliant Cloud infrastructure.

    Key responsibilities

    DevSecOps Integration, Collaboration and Communication:

    • Collaborate with DevOps teams to embed security throughout the development pipeline, integrating security into CI/ CD processes;
    • Support implementation of security controls as code (Infrastructure as Code - IaC) to automate and enforce security policies;
    • Work closely with cross-functional teams, including IT, development and compliance to ensure security measures align with organizational goals;
    • Communicate security risks and incidents to technical and non-technical stakeholders in a clear and concise manner.

    Security Monitoring and Analysis:

    • Monitor and maintain security monitoring tools to provide real-time visibility into the security posture of infrastructure and applications;
    • Leverage tools to detect and respond to security events;
    • Conduct regular analysis of security events to identify and respond to potential threats.

    Continuous Improvement:

    • Collaborate with DevOps teams to provide security guidance and training, fostering a security-aware culture;
    • Proactively identify areas for security improvement and contribute to the development and implementation of security policies, standards, and procedures;
    • Participate in tabletop exercises and simulations to test incident response plans.

    Vulnerability Management:

    • Perform regular vulnerability assessments and collaborate with system owners to remediate identified vulnerabilities;
    • Integrate automated vulnerability scanning into the CI/ CD pipeline to identify and remediate vulnerabilities early in the development process;
    • Collaborate with development teams to ensure vulnerabilities are prioritised and remediated in a timely manner;
    • Stay informed about the latest security threats, vulnerabilities, and industry best practices.

    Security Automation:

    • Define and maintain automated security processes, reducing manual intervention and improving overall efficiency;
    • Evaluate and recommend new security technologies to enhance the overall security posture.

    Container Security:

    • Work closely with DevOps teams to secure container orchestration platforms and microservices architectures.

    Incident Response and Management:

    • Develop and test incident response plans specific to a Cloud environment, ensuring rapid and effective response to security incidents;
    • Conduct post-incident reviews and collaborate on lessons learned to improve incident response processes, contributing to Root Cause Analysis work when required.

    Knowledge, skills and experience

    • Degree-level qualification in Computer Science, Information Technology or a related field, or equivalent experience;
    • Strong understanding of cloud security concepts and technologies;
    • In-depth knowledge of container security principles and practices;
    • Excellent communication and collaboration skills;
    • Familiarity with developing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and other reporting matrices;
    • Relevant certifications such as Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate, AWS Certified Security – Specialty, Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS), or DevSecOps Engineer are highly desirable;
    • Experience with DevOps tools and practices, including CI/CD pipelines, version control systems, and infrastructure automation is desirable;
    • Audit experience (eg ISO 9001/27001) is desirable;
    • Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash) and automation tools is desirable.

    What we offer

    • A competitive salary - let's discuss it
    • Group Personal Pension - up to 12% employer contribution
    • Generous annual bonus scheme up to 24%
    • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, and a holiday buy and sell scheme
    • An array of health and wellbeing benefits, including private healthcare, income protection and life assurance
    • Up to £300 annual personal grant to a charity of your choice
    • Encouraged to take at least one volunteering day per year
    • Employee Assistance Programme
    • Full study support to gain professional qualifications
