Lead DevSecOps Engineer
Own the security and platform strategy behind next-generation autonomous systems.
If you're looking for a leadership role where you're still writing code, building infrastructure and solving difficult technical problems—not sitting in meetings all day—this could be the one.
We're working with a heavily funded defence technology startup that's building a software platform capable of connecting robots, sensors and autonomous systems through advanced data fusion technology. Their platform enables complex autonomous environments to share and act on information in real time, and they're now scaling both the product and engineering function.
This is an opportunity to join early enough to shape how the company builds and secures its platform, while having the backing and investment to deliver on ambitious plans.
What's in it for you?
- Take ownership of the DevSecOps function and influence engineering strategy from day one.
- Stay genuinely hands-on while stepping into a leadership role.
- Build greenfield infrastructure, automation and security practices rather than inheriting legacy systems.
- Lead and grow a small, high-calibre team, initially managing one engineer with scope to expand as the business scales.
- Work on technology solving real-world problems in defence and autonomous systems.
- Join a company with significant funding, strong technical leadership and a clear growth trajectory.
- Have the freedom to introduce new tools, technologies and ways of working.
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.
The Role
You'll be responsible for designing and evolving the company's cloud infrastructure, security architecture and deployment pipelines, ensuring security is embedded throughout the software development lifecycle.
You'll work closely with software, platform and product teams, acting as the technical lead for DevSecOps while remaining heavily involved in implementation and delivery.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll bring experience with:
- AWS (or Azure/GCP)
- Kubernetes and Docker
- Terraform and Infrastructure as Code
- CI/CD tooling such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Jenkins
- Linux environments
- Python, Go or Bash scripting
- Cloud security, IAM and secrets management
- Monitoring and observability
- DevSecOps and secure software delivery best practices
Previous line management isn't essential—we're equally interested in senior engineers who are ready to lead while remaining close to the technology.
Working Pattern
This is a hybrid role with a minimum of three days per week in the office, working alongside a highly collaborative engineering team.
If you're excited by the idea of building secure cloud infrastructure for one of the UK's most exciting defence technology startups—and want the ownership to make a lasting impact—we'd love to hear from you.
