Role: Lead DevSecOps Engineer

Location: Nottingham

Working Arrangement: Hybrid working policy of twice per week in the office

Salary: Up to £70k plus benefits

You’re a Senior DevOps/DevSecOps Engineer who loves to build impeccable software and infrastructure, and making sure whatever you’re working on is secure, through things like vulnerability scanning, threat analysis, and patching, is high on your priority list.

Whilst you love new shiny tech and always make a point of having a play around with the latest and greatest, you are a pragmatic person who knows that the best tool for the job might not be the latest buzzword.

Tech-wise, you have a deep love of Python. You are a big Linux fan, have a soft spot for Bash, and have been using Cloud and DevOps tools like AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, Helm, Docker, etc, and, more recently, GitOps and Argo CD, and you have a great time playing around and seeing what you can do with them.

You’ve got some good experience under your belt now, but don’t feel you are being fully utilising your skills where you are, so finding a company where you can put these skills into practice and make some cool tech is at the top of your to-do list.

If this describes you, read on; this is your next role!

In this role, you’ll be a technical leader of a platform team, made up of many junior software engineers and a couple of seniors for you to mentor, and you’ll be the sole DevOps person in the company. You’ll be driving the company’s DevOps tech strategy and direction, but please note that there is no management as part of this role.

Being fully hands-on keyboard, you will be making key improvements to the security and efficiency of a pre-release product and, further down the line, will be getting involved in R&D and Proof of Concept (POC) projects.

You’ll be using the tech mentioned above- AWS, Python, Bash, Linux, Ansible, Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes, GitOps and ArgoCD.

Whilst you’ll use AWS for some parts of your role, you’ll also be working with private cloud and on-prem models, too, due to the nature of the sensitive work they do and the customers they serve.

Working in a cyber security company will see you working on some very cool products that help the defence, government, and other critical infrastructure sectors to do their important work without interference from bad actors. Due to the nature of what you’ll be making, being eligible and willing to obtain SC clearance is very beneficial for the role.
