Rubicon Consulting is currently recruiting for 4 Software Engineer (DV Cleared) on a 6 Month Contract, based in London.
In order to make an application, simply read through the following job description and make sure to attach relevant documents.
Role Summary
We're recruiting for a specialist security team working on critical national infrastructure projects — high-impact, high-visibility work protecting UK organisations from cyber threats at scale.
This role requires DV (Developed Vetting) clearance — either currently held, or you meet the eligibility criteria (typically British citizen, 10 years continuous UK residency). Please only apply if this applies to you.
The Role
You'll join a software-defined, automation-first engineering environment building and running CI/CD platforms with security embedded from day one — not bolted on afterwards. Think fast iteration, Infrastructure-as-Code as the default, and end-to-end ownership from build through to production.
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 You'll Be Doing
- Owning and delivering platform capabilities across a highly-automated, CI/CD-driven environment
- Designing and evolving CI/CD pipelines for reliable, repeatable delivery across multiple teams
- Embedding Infrastructure-as-Code, eliminating manual provisioning and config drift
- Integrating security controls into engineering workflows — secure by design, not by afterthought
- Supporting engineering teams with tooling, guidance and best practice
- Driving adoption of modern engineering practices — CI, CD, automated testing, observability
- Contributing to technical standards and governance across teams
- Supporting incident response and continuous improvement through retrospectives
