ACT NOW: Join a rapidly expanding & customer centric company that is investing heavily in Technology Transformation & Migration Programs. This sought-after Construction & Engineering Org is booming. They offer a fun, innovative & empowering company culture. Hybrid Flexibility, 4 days onsite.

We have a (6-Month Contract - Extend) Senior DevSecOps Engineer / Application & AI Security Specialist role.

You will drive the adoption and maturity of DevSecOps across a large enterprise technology environment.

You will work across software engineering, cyber security and platform teams to embed security into the software development lifecycle, implement application security tooling and establish secure development architecture patterns.

A key focus will be implementing and integrating Snyk across development environments, repositories and CI/CD pipelines, alongside designing secure developer sandboxes that enable teams to experiment with AI, LLMs and AI agents within appropriate security guardrails.

This is not a software development role. However, you must have a strong software engineering background and understand application code, development practices and architectures to influence how applications are developed and secured.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive DevSecOps adoption and maturity across software engineering teams.
• Lead the implementation and integration of Snyk (Code, Open Source, Container and IaC).
• Integrate security tools into GitHub, Azure DevOps and CI/CD pipelines.
