About the Company
167 Solutions is partnering with an innovative technology organisation that is scaling its cloud engineering and platform capabilities. We are seeking a hands-on DevSecOps Engineer who can embed security directly into the software development lifecycle while remaining actively involved in engineering, automation, cloud infrastructure, and platform delivery. This is not a traditional security administration or governance role. We are looking for an engineer who writes code, builds automation, develops cloud-native solutions, and integrates security into modern software delivery practices.
The Opportunity
As a DevSecOps Engineer, you will work closely with Software Engineers, Platform Engineers, Cloud Architects, and Security teams to build secure-by-design solutions across AWS environments. You will be responsible for automating security controls, improving cloud security posture, developing CI/CD pipelines, and implementing security tooling within a fast-paced engineering environment. The successful candidate will have strong software engineering capabilities alongside cloud and security expertise.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build and maintain secure AWS cloud infrastructure.
- Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and AWS-native tooling.
- Build security controls directly into CI/CD pipelines.
- Develop automation scripts and tooling using Python, Go, TypeScript, or similar languages.
- Implement container security across Kubernetes and Docker environments.
- Integrate security scanning, vulnerability management, and compliance controls into engineering workflows.
- Collaborate with software development teams to improve secure coding practices.
- Develop and maintain monitoring, logging, and incident response automation.
- Support threat modelling and secure architecture reviews.
- Drive DevSecOps best practices across engineering teams.
- Contribute to platform engineering and cloud-native application delivery.
Required Experience
- Proven experience in a DevSecOps, Platform Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, or Software Engineering role.
- Strong AWS experience including services such as: IAM, ECS/EKS, Lambda, CloudWatch, VPC, Secrets Manager, Security Hub, GuardDuty.
- Hands-on software development experience using: Python, Go, TypeScript, Java (desirable).
- Strong Terraform and Infrastructure as Code experience.
- Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
- Experience with Docker and Kubernetes.
- Strong understanding of secure software development practices.
- Experience integrating security tooling into development workflows.
- Familiarity with modern observability and monitoring platforms.
Desirable Experience
- AWS Security Specialty certification.
- Experience with Open Policy Agent (OPA).
- Experience with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Jenkins.
- Knowledge of container runtime security.
- Experience within highly regulated or enterprise-scale environments.
- Exposure to cloud-native security platforms and zero-trust architectures.
- Understanding of SOC2, ISO27001, NIST or Cyber Essentials frameworks.
What Success Looks Like
- Security becomes embedded within the engineering lifecycle rather than acting as a gatekeeper.
- Automated controls reduce risk without slowing delivery.
- Development teams can deploy securely and confidently.
- Cloud environments remain scalable, resilient, and secure by design.
- Engineering and security teams operate as a single delivery function.
Why Apply?
- Work on modern AWS cloud platforms.
- Engineering-first culture.
- Opportunity to shape DevSecOps practices across the organisation.
- Significant investment in cloud, platform, and security capabilities.
- Exposure to cutting-edge automation and cloud-native technologies.
- Genuine influence on technical direction and security strategy.
