Job Description

Posted Monday 22 December 2025 at 01:00

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.

The Opportunity

We seek a DevSecOps Engineer to report to our Chief Engineer for the implementation of advanced CI/CD infrastructure to drive best practice in end-to-end software delivery lifecycle and deployment automation across a complex estate of applications and embedded software.

This will include specialist hardware dependencies like GPUs and FPGAs. This role would especially suit someone with maker community interest who likes to apply automation to the Edge for example, creating customised home IoT applications or home servers.

Your Role

In this role you will:

• Utilise the best of DevSecOps, IaC patterns and automation tooling to drive increased rapidity in development and deployment automation for a variety of systems that include ML, micro-services, applications, firmware and embedded systems.
• Apply SRE principles to the continual operation of live systems to promote observability and increase up-time.
• Apply software hygiene automation for mirroring, vulnerability scanning and generation of SBOM

The delivery goals for the first few months will be focused on-prem and on-edge where cloud systems will be incorporated at a later stage. The development and lower deployment environments will make use of virtualisation, particularly Nutanix, as well as Kubernetes.

What you'll bring

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 and Networking

• Federation to corporate IAMs
• 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)
• Virtualisation platforms (e.g. VMware, Proxmox, Hyper-V)
• 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

• Continuous Integration and Deployment (especially using Gitlab CI/CD)
• Infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform, AWS CDK)
• Configuration management (e.g. Ansible, Puppet)
• Some experience in any programming languages that are useful in automation like Python or Rust.
• SRE analysis tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Thanos and Elastic Search for continuous monitoring and alerting.

Beyond your technical skills, you will be proactive and able to work effectively with a variety of stakeholders. You will be curious and seek out the best approach/solution/tool for the job at hand.

Roke has a hybrid working policy as does our client base. Collaborative activities are likely to take place from time to time in our Woking, Romsey and Gloucester locations as well as client sites in Andover, London, Bristol and Blandford.

• Support operational systems, troubleshoot and resolve issues.
