DevSecOps Advisory Consultant

Job Title: DevSecOps Subject Matter Expert (SME)
Location: London - Liverpool Street (On-site)
Contract: 6 months

We're partnering with a leading international bank in the City of London to hire a DevSecOps Subject Matter Expert (SME). This is a hands-on, advisory role where you will shape, implement, and embed secure DevOps practices across the organisation. The ideal candidate balances deep DevOps expertise with security knowledge, capable of both advising teams and leading practical delivery.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and maintain secure CI/CD pipelines across multiple teams.
• Integrate security tools and practices into DevOps workflows (SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets management).
• Collaborate with development, operations, and security teams to implement secure coding and deployment practices.
• Provide practical guidance on threat modelling, risk assessments, and vulnerability management.
• Advise on cloud security (AWS, Azure, GCP) and container security (Docker, Kubernetes) with a hands-on delivery mindset.
• Develop, implement, and enforce security policies, standards, and best practices.
• Lead incident response and root cause analysis for security-related issues.
• Mentor and train teams on DevSecOps principles, ensuring knowledge transfer and capability building.

What we're looking for:

• Proven experience as a DevOps or DevSecOps SME with hands-on implementation experience.
• Strong expertise across CI/CD pipelines, automation, and secure SDLC, not solely security focused.
• Experience integrating security into DevOps workflows while balancing delivery responsibilities.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Strong communication skills and the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.
• Proactive, collaborative, and able to deliver practical solutions while advising teams.

What's on offer:

• 6-month initial contract with competitive daily rate.
• Opportunity to influence and deliver secure DevOps practices within a global financial institution.
• On-site role in London, Liverpool Street, at the heart of the city.

If you are an experienced DevSecOps SME who can balance advisory and hands-on delivery, we'd love to hear from you.
