Lead DevSecOps Engineer
We are seeking an experienced Lead DevSecOps Engineer to drive the integration of security, development and operations across a complex technology environment. You will provide technical leadership, establish secure engineering practices and help teams deliver reliable, scalable and compliant services at pace.
You will design and improve cloud infrastructure, deployment pipelines and operational processes, embedding security throughout the software development lifecycle. Responsibilities will include leading infrastructure-as-code initiatives, strengthening continuous integration and continuous delivery, automating testing and compliance checks, and developing robust monitoring, logging and incident response capabilities. You will also assess architectural risks, support vulnerability management and ensure that security controls are practical, proportionate and consistently applied.
As a technical lead, you will mentor engineers, promote DevSecOps principles and work collaboratively with development, architecture, security and service teams. You will champion automation, standardisation and continuous improvement, while helping to define engineering standards, operational procedures and governance frameworks. The role will involve contributing to technical strategy, supporting major change programmes and providing expert guidance during complex incidents or service improvements.
You will bring substantial experience in DevOps, platform engineering, cloud security or a related discipline, together with a strong understanding of modern software delivery practices. Experience with public cloud platforms, containers, Kubernetes, Linux, Git-based workflows and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform is expected. You should be confident working with CI/CD technologies, scripting languages and security tooling, including vulnerability scanning, secrets management and identity and access controls.
Excellent communication and leadership skills are essential, as is the ability to explain technical risks and solutions to both technical and non-technical audiences. Relevant industry certifications in cloud, security or DevOps would be advantageous. You will be proactive, pragmatic and comfortable balancing delivery priorities with the need to maintain secure, resilient and well-governed services.
