We are seeking a DevSecOps Engineer to join our Defence Information Advantage team, helping to drive best practice across secure software delivery, deployment automation, and live system operations.

Working in the defence domain presents unique challenges across DevSecOps, MLOps and secure cloud adoption. You will use modern cloud and automation technologies to accelerate deployments while applying SRE principles to improve system resilience and uptime.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation

  • Support and operate live systems, resolving incidents and issues

  • Coach teams in DevSecOps best practice

  • Work closely with developers, product owners, security architects and QA

  • Contribute to agile ceremonies (Scrum, Kanban or SAFe)

  • Participate in code reviews and secure-by-design delivery

Skills & Experience

  • Degree in a STEM subject or equivalent practical experience

  • Cloud experience (AWS essential; Azure/GCP desirable)

  • Strong DevSecOps tooling knowledge (Git, GitLab CI/CD, Terraform, Ansible)

  • Containerisation and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes; GPU containers desirable)

  • Cyber security practices (vulnerability management, IAM, secure networking)

  • Experience with microservices, APIs, streaming platforms (Kafka/MQTT)

  • Scripting or automation using Python, Rust or similar

  • Observability/SRE tools such as Prometheus, Grafana or Elastic

You'll be proactive, curious, and an effective communicator with a strong commitment to continuous improvement. Previous defence-sector DevSecOps experience is a bonus.

If you'd like to discuss the DevSecOps Engineer role in more detail, please send your updated CV to chloe.manerowski@cbsbutler.com and I will get in touch.
