Senior DevSecOps Engineer Contract
We are seeking a Senior DevSecOps Engineer for a contract engagement, supporting the design, delivery and continuous improvement of secure, reliable and scalable software platforms. You will work closely with development, operations, architecture and security teams to embed security throughout the software development lifecycle and improve the speed and quality of delivery.
The role will involve designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, automating infrastructure and deployment processes, and enabling consistent delivery across cloud and hybrid environments. You will help establish robust infrastructure-as-code practices, improve system observability, and promote resilient approaches to availability, performance, backup and disaster recovery.
You will be responsible for integrating security controls into build and release processes, including vulnerability scanning, secrets management, code analysis, container security and compliance checks. You will investigate and resolve complex technical issues, support incident response activities, and identify opportunities to reduce operational risk through automation and standardisation.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in a senior DevSecOps, cloud engineering or platform engineering role, with a strong understanding of modern software delivery practices. You should be confident working with public cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS or Google Cloud, alongside technologies including Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform and configuration management tools. Experience with scripting or programming languages such as Python, PowerShell or Bash is also required.
You will bring practical knowledge of Linux and Windows environments, networking, identity and access management, monitoring and logging platforms, and secure development principles. Familiarity with recognised security frameworks, threat modelling, regulatory requirements and DevSecOps tooling will be highly beneficial.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills are essential, as you will work with stakeholders at varying levels of technical understanding. This contract would suit an engineer who can operate independently, provide technical leadership, challenge existing practices constructively and deliver measurable improvements within a fast-moving environment.
