Senior DevSecOps Engineer
Shield AI, London
The role
This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, platform engineering, cyber security, and defence systems engineering. The DevSecOps Engineer works alongside autonomy, software, systems, integration, and test engineers to create secure and reliable development environments and delivery pipelines that enable teams to rapidly develop, integrate, test, and deploy mission critical software.
The ideal candidate has a strong software and platform engineering background combined with significant experience operating within UK defence environments. They have a strong understanding of the UK Ministry of Defence/NATO approach to DevSecOps, Secure by Design, cyber risk management, security assurance, and the delivery of software into classified and operational environments.
What you will do
- Design, build, and operate secure development and deployment infrastructure for Shield AI autonomy and defence programmes.
- Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines that enable rapid, repeatable, and secure delivery of autonomy and mission software.
- Embed security throughout the software development lifecycle, ensuring security controls, testing, evidence, and assurance are integrated into engineering workflows rather than treated as separate activities.
