Mission:
We are looking for a DevSecOps Engineer to design and implement secure development and build pipelines across our engineering environments.
This role focuses on embedding security into CI/CD processes, with a particular emphasis on AI-assisted development. You will ensure that code generation, integration, and deployment processes are secure, auditable, and resilient to emerging risks.
You will work across engineering teams to establish secure, scalable, and automated pipelines, with a strong awareness of cloud environments, software supply chain risks, and the security challenges introduced by AI-driven development workflows.
Role and Responsibilities:
Design, build, and maintain secure CI/CD pipelines for application and product development
Embed and enforce security controls within build and deployment processes (e.g. SAST, dependency scanning, secrets management)
Secure AI-assisted development workflows, including validation of generated code and control of inputs/outputs
Define and implement guardrails for the use of AI-assisted development within build and delivery workflows
Identify and mitigate risks associated with AI-generated code, including insecure patterns, data leakage, and misuse
Ensure secure handling of credentials, secrets, and artefacts throughout the build and deployment lifecycle
Implement and manage security tooling within pipelines to enable early detection of vulnerabilities
Support secure configuration and operation of cloud-based development and build environments
Monitor and improve the security of the software supply chain, including dependencies and build artefacts
Work with engineering teams to ensure secure build, test, and deployment practices are consistently applied and adhered to
Define and enforce minimum security standards for build pipelines and development workflows
Continuously improve pipeline security, automation, and reliability
Skills & Experience
Experience working in a DevSecOps or security-focused engineering role, with hands-on responsibility for designing and securing CI/CD pipelines (typically 2–5 years or equivalent practical experience)
Experience with CI/CD platforms (e.g. Bitbucket Pipelines, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps)
Strong understanding of DevSecOps principles and secure software delivery practices
Practical understanding of security risks in AI-assisted development (e.g. prompt injection, insecure code generation, data leakage)
Experience or familiarity with AI/ML tooling used in development workflows
Knowledge of cloud platforms (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP) and associated security considerations
Experience integrating security tooling into pipelines (e.g. SAST, SCA, secrets scanning)
Strong scripting or programming ability (e.g. Python, Bash, or similar)
Understanding of software supply chain risks and dependency management
Familiarity with containers and orchestration (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes) is advantageous
Strong problem-solving ability and attention to detail
Additional Context
This role is responsible for securing the development and build lifecycle, ensuring that modern practices—including AI-assisted development—are implemented securely and with appropriate controls. It complements the wider security function by addressing risks in how software is built and delivered.
