Cloud & Data Security Engineer

About us:

Amach is an industry-leading technology driven company with headquarters located in Dublin and remote teams in UK and Europe.

Our blended teams of local and nearshore talent are optimised to deliver high quality and collaborative solutions.

Founded in 2013, Amach was created to solve a specific problem in aviation: too much complexity, too little usable intelligence. We help airlines modernise their operating model using cloud, data and Al-delivered by teams with deep aviation domain expertise.

Our goal is to maximize airlines' operational efficiency by optimizing resource use, reduce costs and increase customer experience and satisfaction.

As a Cloud & Data Security Engineer within the Cyber Engineering & Architecture function, you will own the definition, governance and continuous improvement of our customer's cloud and data security posture. This is a hands-on role, responsible for security standards, architectures and control governance across cloud platforms and data environments, reducing exposure risk and ensuring secure-by-design foundations as the organisation scales its cloud footprint. You will own cyber controls implementation and management using cloud-native and data security tooling. In addition to deep expertise in cloud and data security, this role requires collaboration with the wider Cyber Engineering & Defence teams, contributing to cross-domain security architecture reviews, supporting incident remediation and root-cause improvements when needed. A genuine interest in how AI adoption intersects with security is a strong plus, as the function's remit continues to grow into this space.

This is a hybrid role, so the successful candidate will be expected to attend the office in Dublin at least once a week.

Required Experience:

Experience in cloud security, security engineering, or infrastructure security roles

Hands-on experience securing cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP) - IAM, network security, encryption, workload protection

Hands-on experience implementing data protection controls in Microsoft Purview or equivalent platforms

Experience delivering control governance, remediation workflows and evidence-based reporting for cloud and data security non-compliances

Experience collaborating with governance stakeholders (Data, Privacy, Legal, IT) on policy and control implementation

Strong understanding of data protection concepts (classification, least privilege, encryption, DLP, secure sharing) and how they apply in modern cloud and collaboration environments

Ability to translate risk into practical standards and secure-by-design blueprints for cloud and data use cases

Strong analytical skills to interpret signals and drive risk-based remediation priorities

Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, including the ability to explain control requirements to technical and non-technical audiences

An interest in AI security considerations (e.g., data exposure risks in AI tooling, secure adoption patterns) - training and support will be provided to build this out further

Key responsibilities & duties include:

Own cloud and data security policies, standards and secure-by-design patterns for infrastructure, information protection and safe AI adoption

Engineer, manage and govern cloud security and data protection controls (currently using Microsoft Purview)

Operate and improve Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) practices, using insights to prioritise remediation

Define governance processes for cloud and data security non-compliances, exceptions and control gaps, coordinating remediation with technology and data owners

Partner with Data, Privacy, Legal and IT stakeholders to ensure controls and processes meet regulatory and internal requirements

Support incident response by providing SME input for cloud misconfigurations, data leakage events, or insider risk, and driving control improvements

Provide security architecture reviews and guidance for cloud, data platform and analytics initiatives to ensure secure data flows and protection by design

Contribute to security awareness and enablement for employees on safe handling of sensitive data and cloud resources

Work with Cyber Defence to ensure relevant cloud and data protection events and telemetry are available for monitoring and response

Support development of metrics and reporting on cloud and data security posture to track trends in maturity and controls effectiveness
