We're recruiting for a Senior DevSecOps Engineer to join a large-scale technology and data environment delivering secure platforms for complex public-sector programmes.
This is a hands-on engineering role with a strong focus on DevSecOps, Kubernetes, CI/CD, automation and secure platform delivery. You'll be working on technically interesting environments where reliability, security and repeatable deployment really matter.
The role sits close to data and AI teams, so there is also exposure to MLOps, machine-learning workloads and modern data platforms, but the core requirement is strong DevSecOps / platform engineering capability.
What you'll be doing
Designing and delivering secure CI/CD pipelines across complex environments
Building and supporting Kubernetes/container platforms
Embedding security controls into engineering workflows
Automating infrastructure and deployment processes using Python, Bash, YAML and IaC tooling
Supporting secure deployment into restricted or highly controlled environments
Working closely with engineering, data and AI teams to improve platform reliability and deployment standards
Contributing to MLOps and ML deployment patterns where required
Providing technical direction across DevSecOps, automation and platform architecture
What we're looking for
Strong background in DevSecOps, DevOps or Platform Engineering
Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and Docker
Strong CI/CD experience, ideally GitLab
Good scripting capability in Python and/or Bash
Strong Linux knowledge
Experience with cloud and infrastructure automation
Exposure to secure, regulated, government, defence or public-sector environments would be highly beneficial
Experience with MLOps, ML infrastructure or supporting data science teams would also be useful
The hiring team has been clear that they are not expecting somebody to tick every box. The priority is finding someone with genuine depth in DevSecOps and Kubernetes, rather than a CV containing a long list of technologies with limited hands-on experience.
Security clearance
Candidates must be eligible to obtain SC clearance, including the required UK residency criteria. xgikmsk
