About the role
Security Engineer (DevSecOps) - Contract - Mostly remote - Inside IR35 - 6 months rolling
My client within the financial services space are looking for a Security Engineer to join their team and help embed security throughout the software development lifecycle.
This is a hands-on DevSecOps-focused role, working closely with engineering and development teams to improve the security of our cloud infrastructure, developer tooling and CI/CD pipelines.
You’ll help build security into the way software is developed and deployed, while identifying and managing vulnerabilities across our technology stack.
What you’ll be doing
- Integrating security controls and tooling into CI/CD pipelines, helping engineering teams identify and address security issues early in the development lifecycle.
- Securing and improving developer tooling and workflows, ensuring security is built into the development experience.
- Managing and improving dependency vulnerability management, including identifying, prioritising and remediating vulnerabilities in third-party libraries and packages.
- Supporting container security and vulnerability management, from image scanning through to remediation and secure deployment.
- Working with engineering teams to establish practical, scalable security controls across the software development lifecycle.
- Helping secure and monitor our AWS cloud environment.
- Applying security best practices to infrastructure managed through Terraform.
- Working with GitHub and associated development workflows to improve code and repository security.
- Supporting vulnerability identification, risk assessment and remediation across our development and cloud environments.
- Continuously evaluating security tooling and processes, looking for ways to automate security and reduce friction for development teams.
You will be someone with a strong understanding of application, cloud and infrastructure security, combined with practical DevSecOps experience.
You’ll ideally have experience with:
- AWS security and cloud environments.
- GitHub and modern software development workflows.
- Terraform and Infrastructure as Code security.
- Integrating security tools into CI/CD pipelines.
- Dependency and open-source vulnerability management.
- Container security and vulnerability scanning.
- Working with developers and engineering teams to implement security controls.
- Security automation and embedding security into the software development lifecycle.
You don’t need to have experience with every technology or tool we use. What matters most is a strong security engineering mindset, good technical fundamentals and the ability to work collaboratively with developers to solve security problems in a practical way.
