About The Role
What if your deep expertise in cloud security could directly protect the architectures that power modern enterprises? We're looking for a Principal Cloud Security Architect to assess large-scale cloud environments, uncover architectural risks, and deliver the kind of structured, actionable guidance that actually moves the needle on security posture. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. If you have serious cloud security chops and a sharp eye for what can go wrong — this is the work you've been waiting for.
What You'll Do
• Evaluate cloud architectures across AWS, Azure, and GCP for security gaps and structural weaknesses
• Review IAM configurations, permission models, network segmentation, and resource policies in depth
• Identify misconfigurations, privilege escalation risks, and insecure architectural patterns
• Produce clear, structured reports documenting architectural flaws and prioritised mitigation guidance
• Validate cloud environments against recognised security frameworks and industry best practices
• Support recurring assessments across evolving cloud environments and deployment patterns Must-Have Who You Are
• Deep, hands-on experience in cloud security architecture — you've seen what breaks and you know why
• Strong command of IAM design, network architecture, and cloud service models across major providers
• Ability to translate complex security findings into clear, structured documentation for technical and non-technical audiences
• Methodical and thorough — you don't miss things, and you explain what you find with precision Nice To Have
• Experience with multi-cloud environments, zero-trust architecture, or high-compliance regulated industries
• Familiarity with frameworks such as CIS Benchmarks, NIST CSF, SOC 2, or cloud-native security tools
• Background in security consulting, red team assessments, or enterprise architecture reviews Why Join Us
• Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule from anywhere
• Freelance autonomy with meaningful, high-impact technical engagements
• Work on complex, real-world cloud environments that actually challenge your skills
• Contribute findings that drive lasting security improvements at scale
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new assessments are scoped
