Lead DevSecOps Engineer
We are seeking an experienced Lead DevSecOps Engineer to shape and deliver secure, scalable and reliable software delivery practices across a complex technology environment. This is a hands-on technical leadership role, responsible for embedding security throughout the development lifecycle while enabling engineering teams to deliver high-quality products efficiently.
You will lead the design, implementation and continuous improvement of cloud infrastructure, deployment pipelines and platform capabilities. Working closely with software engineers, architects, security specialists and operational teams, you will establish effective DevSecOps practices, promote automation and support a culture of shared ownership. You will also provide technical guidance, mentor colleagues and help define engineering standards, patterns and best practice.
Key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines; automating infrastructure provisioning and configuration; integrating security, compliance and quality controls into delivery workflows; and improving monitoring, logging, resilience and incident response. You will assess technical risks, support vulnerability management, contribute to architectural decisions and ensure that platforms are robust, observable and capable of operating at scale.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in DevOps, DevSecOps, platform engineering or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of secure software development and cloud technologies. You should be confident working with infrastructure as code, containerisation, orchestration platforms, source control and automated testing. Experience with public cloud services, pipeline tooling, security scanning solutions and scripting or programming languages such as Python, PowerShell or Bash is expected.
You will be an effective communicator who can influence technical decisions, explain complex concepts clearly and collaborate with stakeholders at all levels. A proactive approach to problem-solving, a commitment to continuous improvement and the ability to balance delivery priorities with security and operational considerations are essential. Relevant professional certifications in cloud, security or DevOps would be advantageous, alongside experience working in regulated or highly controlled environments.
