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. Click "APPLY" now to be considered for this role. DevSecOps Engineer - Manchester - Hybrid - Up to £80,000 + benefits
