DevSecOps Engineer Manchester - Hybrid, 3 days a week in the office. Commutable from Stockport, Wigan, Bolton, Rochdale, Bury, Sale, Liverpool, Warrington, and Runcorn. Up to £80,000 + benefits We're partnered exclusively with a Fintech business in Manchester who've been building their own SaaS platform for 10 years. As the business has scaled, so has the complexity of their engineering environment - and they've reached the point where security needs to be built into every stage of delivery, not bolted on at the end. They're hiring a DevSecOps Engineer to sit at that intersection between security and engineering. This isn't a pure security role, and it's not a pure DevOps role. It's for someone who's genuinely comfortable in both worlds - someone who understands pipelines, infrastructure, and tooling, and knows how to embed security into them without grinding everything to a halt. You'll be working with DevOps, Platform, and Security teams to integrate security tooling into CI/CD, automate vulnerability detection, manage cloud security controls, and help engineering teams ship quickly without cutting corners. In a regulated Fintech environment, this role carries real weight. Key skills needed: • Hands-on DevSecOps or Security Engineering experience in a cloud-native environment, • Strong CI/CD experience - GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar - and the ability to integrate security gates properly, • SAST, DAST, and SCA tooling - Snyk, Checkov, Trivy, Semgrep, or similar, • Infrastructure as Code - Terraform, CloudFormation - and identifying misconfigs before they hit production, • Container and Kubernetes security - image scanning, runtime security, network policies, • Cloud security experience - primarily GCP, with some AWS exposure also useful, • Secret management - HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or similar, • Knowledge of Fintech compliance requirements - PCI-DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, • Scripting skills - Python, Bash, or similar, • Someone who can translate between security and engineering teams, and is respected by both This is the highest-paid role in this hiring round for a reason. They want someone exceptional. If you're a DevSecOps engineer who's done with security being treated as a checkbox, and you want to work somewhere that's actually building it in from day one, this is the one to go for.
