A couple of practical points
- This is primarily an office-based role, working closely with software, AI and infrastructure engineering teams.
- You’ll need the right to work in the UK and be eligible to obtain UK Security Check (SC) clearance.
- If you’re an experienced DevSecOps or Platform Engineer who wants more ownership than simply maintaining someone else’s setup, get in touch to find out more.
