DevSecOps Engineer | London | £85k | Hybrid

DevSecOps Engineer
Permanent | UK (Hybrid - a few times per month) | Up to £84k

We're partnering with a respected, forward-thinking professional services firm that's serious about embedding security into every corner of its digital transformation journey. This is a pivotal hire within their growing tech function - they're after a DevSecOps Engineer (or Lead Software Security Engineer) who can champion secure-by-design principles and help shape the future of their digital products.

You'll be joining a business that genuinely backs its people. They've built a collaborative, agile culture where innovation is encouraged and development is a priority. If you're someone who thrives on moving security left, guiding engineering teams with clarity, and making a real impact - this is your kind of role.

What you'll be doing:

You'll lead the charge in shifting the culture towards DevSecOps across multiple product teams, embedding security from the ground up. That means defining and rolling out a product security strategy that aligns with business goals, working closely with developers to automate and streamline security testing, and supporting pen test activity with smart, secure remediation. You'll be the go-to expert on application and cloud security, keeping documentation, training, and processes sharp and relevant. You'll also be reporting on compliance and presenting updates to senior leadership - making sure security stays front and centre.

What they're looking for:

• A solid background in both software development and security - you're comfortable with code and risk in equal measure
• Proven experience integrating security into agile environments
• Strong working knowledge of Azure PaaS and Azure DevOps (CI/CD)
• Familiarity with Scripting languages like PowerShell, YAML, JSON
• Hands-on with application security tools and DevSecOps processes
• Understanding of frameworks and standards like OWASP, NIST SSDF, ISO27001, NCSC
• Experience with threat modelling, risk assessments, and secure design reviews
• Confident owning security strategy and tooling across complex product landscapes
• A strong communicator - able to engage with engineers and execs alike

This is a visible, high-impact role at a business that sees IT as central to its future. There's room to grow, space to innovate, and genuine support from leadership. Whether it's training, mentoring, or flexible hybrid working, they'll give you the tools and trust to bring your best self.

The role pays up to £84k and requires occasional travel to their London office (a few times per month). They're keen to move quickly - if this sounds like your next move, send your CV in for immediate consideration.
