Principal Software Engineer (DevSecOps)
We are seeking a Principal Software Engineer (DevSecOps) to provide technical leadership across the design, development and operation of secure, resilient software platforms. You will shape engineering standards, champion automation and embed security throughout the software development lifecycle, from initial design through to production support.
You will lead the development of modern continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines, improving the speed, quality and reliability of software releases. Working closely with software engineers, architects, security specialists and operational teams, you will define scalable engineering practices and help deliver robust cloud-based services. You will also support the adoption of infrastructure as code, automated testing, observability and reliable deployment strategies.
As a senior technical authority, you will set direction on DevSecOps architecture, tooling and ways of working. You will identify and address technical debt, operational risks and security vulnerabilities, ensuring that solutions meet appropriate governance, compliance and performance requirements. The role will involve mentoring engineers, facilitating technical discussions, reviewing designs and promoting a culture of collaboration, continuous improvement and shared ownership.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in software engineering, DevOps or DevSecOps, with a strong understanding of secure development principles and modern delivery practices. You will be confident working with cloud technologies, source control, containerisation, orchestration platforms and automated build and release tooling. Experience of infrastructure as code, scripting, monitoring, vulnerability management and security testing will also be important.
You should be able to explain complex technical subjects clearly and influence decisions at all levels. Strong problem-solving skills, sound engineering judgement and a pragmatic approach to balancing delivery with security and reliability are essential. Experience leading technical change in a complex environment, alongside a commitment to mentoring others and raising engineering standards, would be highly valued.
