DevSecOps Engineer

DevSecOps Engineer | AWS | £90,000-100,000 basic

• Salary: £90,000–£100,000+, depending on experience.
• Location: Watford, with 3 days onsite per week.
• Focus: Hands-on DevSecOps, AWS security and cloud platform engineering.

I’m working on an opportunity for a hands-on DevSecOps Engineer to join a cloud platform team supporting a large-scale, consumer-facing digital technology environment.

Operating across web, mobile and retail platforms, this role will help strengthen security across a predominantly AWS environment, working at the intersection of Cloud Platform Engineering and Information Security.

What you’ll be doing:

• Implementing security controls and tooling across AWS cloud infrastructure.
• Embedding security into CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
• Working with AWS security services, including GuardDuty, to strengthen cloud security.
• Translating InfoSec requirements into technical solutions and platform improvements.
• Taking ownership of security initiatives from initial requirements through to implementation.
• Working closely with platform engineers and security stakeholders to improve security without compromising delivery.

What I’m looking for:

• Strong hands-on AWS and cloud/platform engineering experience.
• Practical experience implementing cloud security controls and tooling.
• Experience securing CI/CD pipelines and integrating security into engineering workflows.
• An understanding of cloud security best practices, governance and controls.
• The ability to explain security initiatives you’ve personally delivered, the technical implementation and the outcomes.

Azure experience would be beneficial, but AWS is the priority.
