About the role

We’re delighted to be partnering with a major UK retail business to recruit a DevSecOps Engineer. This is a key role in making sure the business’s technology is secure, reliable and easy for its engineering teams to work with.

• Securing and governing multi-cloud environments across AWS and GCP
• Developing cloud security baselines, guardrails and best practices

• Supporting threat modelling and security architecture reviews for cloud-native solutions
• Assisting with security investigations and incident response
• Supporting detection engineering initiatives

• Experience in DevOps, cloud security, platform engineering or DevSecOps roles (ideally 1–6 years, but all levels considered)
• Cloud platform experience, particularly AWS
• Experience applying security principles within modern software development and cloud environments
• Infrastructure as Code and automation experience with tools such as Terraform, CDK or CloudFormation
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
• Experience identifying, investigating and remediating security risks and vulnerabilities
• Experience working closely with engineering teams to embed security into the development lifecycle
• Python coding experience
• A collaborative approach and the ability to build positive relationships with technical and non-technical colleagues
• Natural curiosity and enjoyment of learning new technologies, tools and ways of working
• Ownership of problems, seeing them through to a successful outcome
• The ability to balance security, risk and business needs to make pragmatic decisions
• A passion for sharing knowledge and helping others grow

What would make you stand out

• Google Cloud Platform (GCP) experience
• Cloud security experience in a large-scale environment
• Experience with security testing, threat modelling or application security
• Experience building developer-focused tooling, guardrails or self-service platform capabilities
• Relevant cloud or security certifications

What’s on offer

• £30,000–£60,000 per year, depending on experience
• Discretionary bonus of up to 15%
• Share save scheme
• Pension
• Annual leave
• Hybrid working, with a minimum of one day a week in the office
