Role: Cloud Vulnerability Specialist

Location: Reading

Contract: Contract

Working Model: Hybrid (on-site presence required)

Overview

We’re looking for a Cloud Vulnerability Specialist to take ownership of vulnerability management in a large, cloud-heavy environment. This is a hands-on contract role focused on finding real risk, prioritising what actually matters, and driving remediation, not just producing scan reports that go nowhere.

You’ll be working closely with Cloud, SOC, and Engineering teams across AWS and GCP, using Rapid7 CloudSec and related tooling to reduce exposure in a measurable way.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

Running and tuning cloud vulnerability scans across AWS and GCP
Analysing findings, cutting through the noise, and prioritising based on real risk
Working directly with engineers to get vulnerabilities fixed, not ignored
Owning Rapid7 CloudSec and improving how it’s used day to day
Identifying gaps in tooling, process, and outcomes and fixing them
Automating repetitive work using Python or PowerShell where it makes sense
Tracking trends so the same issues don’t keep coming back
Producing clear, usable metrics that leadership can actually act on
Supporting security incidents by identifying vulnerability-driven root causes

What You Need to Be Good At

Solid experience in vulnerability management in cloud environments
Strong working knowledge of AWS and GCP security fundamentals
Hands-on experience with Rapid7, Nessus, Qualys, or similar tools
Risk-based prioritisation, not CVSS worship
