Senior DevSecOps Engineer Contract
An experienced Senior DevSecOps Engineer is required for a contract opportunity supporting the secure, reliable and efficient delivery of technology services. You will work across development, operations, infrastructure and security teams to embed security throughout the software development lifecycle and improve the automation, resilience and performance of engineering platforms.
Responsibilities will include designing, implementing and maintaining secure CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code and automated testing processes. You will develop and enforce DevSecOps practices, integrating security scanning, vulnerability management, compliance checks and quality controls into build and deployment workflows. You will also support cloud infrastructure, containerised environments and orchestration platforms, ensuring systems are scalable, observable and appropriately protected.
The role will involve identifying and resolving complex technical issues, contributing to incident response and problem management, and helping to establish effective monitoring, logging and alerting. You will provide technical guidance to colleagues, promote engineering best practice and collaborate with stakeholders to assess risks, define controls and deliver continuous improvements. Clear documentation of architectures, processes, standards and operational procedures will also be required.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a DevSecOps, platform engineering, cloud security or related role, with strong knowledge of automated delivery pipelines and modern software development practices. Hands-on experience with public cloud platforms, configuration management, infrastructure as code, containers and orchestration tools is expected. You should be confident working with scripting or programming languages such as Python, PowerShell, Bash or similar, and familiar with source control and security tooling.
A strong understanding of secure design principles, identity and access management, vulnerability assessment, networking and relevant security frameworks is essential. Experience working in Agile environments and communicating with both technical and non-technical audiences would be advantageous. This contract requires a proactive, analytical professional who can work independently, manage competing priorities and deliver practical solutions in a complex technical environment.
