Role Purpose / Summary
We are seeking an experienced, client-facing Lead DevSecOps Engineer to drive and coordinate DevSecOps practices across multiple digital products delivered as part of a wider CLIENT business and digital transformation programme, where Capgemini is the client's prime Digital Delivery Partner. Products will be deployed across the CLIENT digital estate (CLIENTCloud), including CLIENT's instances of Microsoft Azure (CLIENTCloud ACE / i-ACE), AWS (CLIENTCloud ICE) and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI / CLIENTCloud OCE).

This role requires deep expertise in CI/CD pipelines, delivery workflows and security tooling across these cloud environments, alongside strong collaboration with developers, DevSecOps engineers, infrastructure engineers and test teams.
