Job Description
DevSecOps Engineer
Location: London (Hybrid)
Engagement Type: Day Rate Contract (Inside IR35)
The Assignment
This is a high-impact, tactical consulting role. Our client has security tooling in flight including Snyk, SonarQube, and automated pipelines but they need a consultant to make it land. Currently, they are battling tool noise, backlog fatigue, and pipeline friction that is stalling engineering velocity.
We need a security-first practitioner with strong advisory and consulting experience to land, build immediate trust, run a maturity assessment, and engineer a practical "shift-left" model that enhances developer workflows rather than blocking them.
Key Responsibilities
- Maturity Assessment and Strategy: Conduct an evidence-based audit against OWASP SAMM and NIST SSDF frameworks, translating findings into a prioritised 12-month risk-reduction roadmap.
- Pipeline Optimisation: Tuned tool signal-to-noise ratios (SAST, SCA, DAST, IaC) aggressively. Triage backlogs, suppress false positives, and refine CI/CD gates (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or GitLab) to protect engineering velocity.
- High-Touch Consulting and Coaching: Embed directly with engineering squads as a trusted advisory partner. Attend stand-ups, run secure-coding clinics, and cultivate a "security as an enabler" culture.
- Secure Design: Facilitate collaborative threat-modelling sessions during active design phases using STRIDE and MITRE ATT&CK.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We're Looking For
- Consulting and Advisory Edge: Proven experience navigating complex client environments, managing stakeholders up to C-level, and translating highly technical risks into actionable business guidance.
- Security-First DNA: A career natively forged in cyber/application security, not a developer who casually pivoted into security.
- Fluent in Code and Pipelines: Technical fluency in code, Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Ansible), and YAML pipelines to maintain immediate credibility with senior software engineers.
- Framework Mastery: Practical application of OWASP SAMM, NIST SSDF, STRIDE, and MITRE ATT&CK.
- Cloud and Containers: Strong grounding in securing cloud workloads (AWS or Azure) and environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
