DevSecOps Engineer Development Background London £86k

DevSecOps Engineer - £86k - London (Twice Monthly)

Fancy being the go-to person for all things DevSecOps? We're on the hunt for a Lead DevSecOps Engineer to join a growing team, embedding security into the development process from day one. If you've got a strong development background and have evolved into security, this could be the perfect fit.

• Championing a DevSecOps-first approach, ensuring security is baked into development from the start.
• Working closely with product and development teams to integrate security seamlessly into the CI/CD pipeline.
• Automating security checks to make security an enabler, not a blocker.
• Handling risk assessments, secure coding practices, and security tooling implementation.
• Supporting AI-driven and customer-facing products, including property management systems, tax tools, and regulated audit solutions.
• Embedding security controls in CI/CD workflows to ensure scalable, automated security testing.
• Managing security controls, best practices, and compliance reporting to senior stakeholders.
• Providing expertise in vulnerability management, risk assessments, and penetration testing.
• Working alongside an enterprise security architect to align with overall security strategy.

• A strong development background, having transitioned into security.
• Deep knowledge of the OWASP Top 10, risk assessments, and secure development lifecycle.
• Hands-on experience with Azure (PaaS, DevOps, CI/CD capabilities).
• Familiarity with security tools like Wiz and Trivy (highly desirable).
• Excellent communication skills, able to engage with teams and present security concepts confidently.
• Leadership potential - while there are no direct reports now, the role is expected to grow into a management position.
• Consulting experience or working across multiple products would be a bonus.
• Azure security certifications are nice to have but not essential.

• £86k salary with flexibility in hybrid working.
• London-based role, but only one or two days in the office per month.
• Two-stage interview process, with more office time expected in the first six weeks for onboarding.
• A chance to shape the DevSecOps strategy for a growing team with exciting, AI-driven products.
