Senior DevSecOps Engineer

We are looking for a hands-on Senior DevSecOps Engineer to embed security into build, deployment, and runtime environments across cloud and on-prem platforms. This role focuses on automation, secure-by-design pipelines, and cloud-native security, working closely with developers, platform engineers, and security teams to enable fast, safe delivery.

This is a builder role, ideal for someone who enjoys automation, infrastructure, and security engineering, and wants to make security frictionless for engineering teams.

Responsibilities:

DevSecOps & CI/CD Security

• Design, build, and maintain secure CI/CD pipelines with embedded security controls (SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, IaC scanning).

• Integrate security checks into build and release pipelines while minimising developer friction.

• Implement secure build, test, and release gates aligned to organisational risk appetite.

Cloud & Platform Security

• Support secure deployment and operations of applications across cloud environments (AWS / Azure / GCP).

• Apply security best practices across IAM, networking, logging, monitoring, and encryption.

• Work with container platforms (Docker, Kubernetes) to enforce runtime security and configuration hardening.

Infrastructure as Code & Automation

• Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform, ARM, CloudFormation, or similar.

• Ensure IaC templates follow secure-by-default patterns and are auditable and reusable.

• Automate security configuration and compliance checks where possible.

Security Tooling & Observability

• Integrate and tune security tools (e.g. SAST, DAST, SCA, CSPM, container scanning).

• Improve visibility through logging, metrics, and monitoring for security-relevant events.

• Support incident response by providing pipeline, deployment, and runtime insights.

Collaboration & Enablement

• Partner closely with software engineers, platform teams, and security architects.

• Provide practical guidance to developers on secure coding, pipeline usage, and remediation.

• Contribute to documentation, standards, and reusable DevSecOps patterns.

Requirements:

• 3-10 years of hands-on experience in DevOps, DevSecOps, or Security Engineering roles.

• Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, etc.).

• Solid understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

• Experience with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Familiarity with security tooling such as SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, IaC scanning.

• Good working knowledge of Linux, networking basics, and application deployment.
