We are seeking an experienced Lead DevSecOps Engineer to drive the design, implementation and continuous improvement of secure, scalable software delivery platforms. You will lead the integration of development, security and operations practices, helping engineering teams deliver reliable services quickly while maintaining robust security and compliance standards.
You will define and promote DevSecOps strategy, standards and tooling across the organisation, embedding security throughout the software development lifecycle. Responsibilities will include designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, improving infrastructure automation, managing cloud and on-premises environments, and establishing effective monitoring, logging and alerting. You will also guide the adoption of infrastructure as code, containerisation and orchestration technologies.
As a technical leader, you will work closely with software engineers, architects, security specialists and operational teams to identify risks, remove delivery barriers and improve platform resilience. You will champion secure coding and deployment practices, support vulnerability management, contribute to incident response and disaster recovery planning, and ensure that solutions meet relevant regulatory and internal control requirements.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in DevOps, platform engineering or site reliability engineering, with a strong understanding of information security principles. You should be confident working with cloud platforms, Linux, scripting and automation, as well as tools such as Git, Docker, Kubernetes and commonly used CI/CD platforms. Experience implementing security scanning, secrets management, identity and access controls, and policy-as-code will be highly valued.
Strong communication and leadership skills are essential. You will be comfortable influencing technical decisions, mentoring colleagues and explaining complex subjects to varied audiences. A pragmatic, collaborative approach, excellent problem-solving ability and a commitment to continuous improvement are required. Relevant professional certifications or demonstrable experience in secure cloud and DevOps practices would be advantageous.
