We're sourcing a Cloud Security Engineer (Azure / Terraform) for a 6-month UK-based contract (fully remote). This role is ideal for a hands-on Azure / Terraform contractor who can quickly take ownership and deliver secure, production-grade infrastructure through code.You'll be embedded in a modern Azure environment, leading security engineering initiatives with a strong focus on Terraform-first delivery. Expect to spend the majority of your time writing clean, reusable modules, embedding security controls, and pushing everything through CI/CD.Key deliverables:
Build and enforce secure Azure infrastructure using Terraform (modular, scalable, production-ready)
Implement perimeter security with Azure Front Door + WAF (OWASP, bot protection, rule tuning)
Define governance using Azure Policy as code (networking, firewall, compliance controls)
Secure AKS workloads with container scanning and runtime protections
Design and roll out Conditional Access and identity protections in Microsoft Entra ID (P2)
Harden Azure DevOps pipelines using managed identities and least-privilege principles
Drive risk visibility and remediation via Microsoft Defender for Cloud
You'll suit this contract if you're a strong coder with Terraform, security-focused by default, and comfortable delivering autonomously without hand-holding.
