Great ideas come from different minds. That's why we bring together engineers, scientists, analysts, and creatives from every background - and give them the trust, tools, and freedom to make a difference. What connects us is the mission: solving meaningful problems and building capability that protects what matters most. And as the challenges evolve, so do we - working on the technologies that will shape tomorrow, not just today.

We seek a passionate DevSecOps Engineer to join our Defence Information Advantage team to drive best practice in end-to end SDLC and deployment automation. The Defence domain represents many unique and cutting edge challenges in DevSecOps, MLOps and utilisation of cloud for example updating deployed equipment in a safe and secure manner. We therefore seek an innovative thought leader who can set technical direction and coach others to push the envelope on the art of the possible.

In this role you will exploit the best of cloud and DevSecOps technologies to drive increased rapidity in deployment automation whilst applying SRE principles to the continual operation of live systems to increase up time.

You will oversee code releases, deployments, and support operational systems. The role calls for both technical skills and soft skills to communicate effectively with colleagues at different levels in the organization in a collaborative and holistic environment.

As a DevSecOps Engineer, you will have a degree level qualification in a STEM subject, or an equivalent level of practical experience.

Depending on your level of ability/experience, you will have familiarity, competence or expertise in a subset of these areas:

Cloud technologies:

• Azure and GCP beneficial

Cyber security

• Vulnerability management (e.g. tenable)
• Vulnerability scanning, static and dynamic analysis (e.g. SonarQube)
• Network security including the secure provision of certificates and tokens

Virtualisation and Containerisation

• Containerisation (e.g. Docker, Podman)
• Experience in GPU containerisation (e.g. NVIDIA Container Toolkit, Run:AI)
• Microservices
• Edge compute
• APIs (both RESTful and Protobuf GRPC)
• Stream based pub/sub systems (including Kafka and MQTT)

DevSecOps tooling

• Version control (e.g. Git)
• Continuous Integration/Deployment (e.g. Gitlab CI/CD)
• Infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform, Puppet, Ansible)
• Experience in any programming languages useful in automation like Python or Rust.
• SRE analysis tools like Prometheus, Grafana and Elastic Search.

Beyond your technical skills, you will be proactive and able to communicate effectively with a variety of stakeholders. You will work well alone or as part of a team and grasp opportunities. You will be curious and seek out the best approach/solution/tool for the job at hand.

You'll need to be able to draw on previous experiences of DevSecOps roles and be able to demonstrate a clear commitment to Continuous Improvement and Learning from Experience. Experience of successful DevSecOps implementation within the defence industry is a bonus!
