AWS Cloud Security Specialist – Python, IaC is a good title and aligns with the JD.

A few considerations:

AWS Cloud Security Specialist → captures the primary cloud/security focus Python → important development skill IaC (Infrastructure as Code) → relevant and searchable (better abbreviation is IaC, not IaaC)

Recommended final title:

AWS Cloud Security Specialist – Python, IaC

Alternative if you want to emphasize broader cloud engineering:

AWS Cloud Engineer – Security, Python & Infrastructure as Code

The first title is better if security is the priority; the second is better if the role is more cloud platform/infrastructure focused.
