Step into a role where your impact goes beyond pipelines and platforms

As a Platform Engineer (internally titled DevSecOps Engineer), you'll help shape how security is embedded in the culture and practices of modern software development. This is more than just a technical position—you'll play a strategic role in driving secure innovation at scale, influencing architecture decisions, and championing a security-first mindset across teams. You'll have the opportunity to contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, evaluate emerging technologies, and help evolve our DevSecOps maturity. If you're passionate about bridging the gap between agility and assurance and want to work where security is built in—not bolted on—this is your chance.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain CI pipelines, security controls, monitoring solutions and supporting software deployments.
• Ensure all software products are secure, reliable, and compliant with client requirements.
• Leverage experience in virtual environments, containerisation, Infrastructure as Code, and security automation.
• Mentor teams of engineers, ensuring the adoption of DevSecOps best practices and principles.
• Collaborate with software engineers, security specialists, and operational teams to embed security best practices.
  
  

Knowledge and Skills

• Proficiency in building and managing CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins and GitLab CI.
• Experience with container technologies (e.g., Docker and Kubernetes), artifact repositories (e.g., JFrog Artifactory), and container security best practices.
• Competent scripting skills (e.g., Python, Bash) for automation and Infrastructure as Code.
• Exposure to other Infrastructure as Code tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible).
• Proficiency in Linux/Unix systems, networking concepts, and security principles.
• Familiarity with software development security tooling (e.g., SonarQube, Grype, JFrog Xray).
• Knowledge of monitoring and observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Elastic tack.
• Knowledge of the ASD Essential 8 and ISM and how to apply the relevant controls.
• Experience with database administration (e.g., PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB).
• A strategic mindset for identifying and managing security risks across the SDLC, with an ability to develop risk mitigation strategies that align with enterprise objectives.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues.
• Commitment to ongoing professional development and staying current with emerging security threats, technologies, and industry best practices.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  
  

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
