• Embed DevSecOps practices such as code scanning, dependency checks, secret scanning, container scanning and IaC validation.
• Work with Security, Engineering and Operations teams to identify, prioritise and remediate vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
• Deploy and harden Azure infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code, secure configuration and least-privilege principles.
• Support secure Azure platform design across AKS, App Services, API Management, Azure SQL, networking, Key Vault, monitoring and logging.
• Improve security visibility through automation, dashboards, alerts and operational tooling.
• Contribute to threat modelling, security standards, policy-as-code and secure engineering guidance.
• Support DR/BCP testing to ensure services remain secure, available and recoverable.

Personal Attributes:

• Works well independently and as part of a collaborative engineering team.
• Has a strong security mindset and a practical, risk-based approach.
• Communicates clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Can prioritise work, manage competing demands and follow improvements through to completion.
• Pays attention to detail and values consistent standards and repeatable processes.
• Stays current with cloud, security and DevSecOps tools and practices.

Education & Skills Required:

• Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure, especially secure design, deployment and operation of Azure PaaS services.
• Proven DevOps experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code and automation, ideally using Terraform, Azure Verified Modules and PowerShell.
• Experience with Azure security and operations tooling such as Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Azure Monitor and Application Insights.
• Practical experience with AKS, container security, App Services, API Management, Azure SQL, Key Vault, managed identities and Azure networking.
• Knowledge of DevSecOps practices including SAST, dependency scanning, secret scanning, IaC scanning, container scanning and automated security gates.
• Experience supporting vulnerability management, including triage, prioritisation, remediation tracking and collaboration with security teams.
• Experience with Cloudflare or similar edge security, WAF, DNS and traffic protection technologies.

Advantageous:

• Healthcare, NHS, Government or other regulated industry experience.
• Experience with Jira and Confluence for workflow, documentation and audit trails.
• Knowledge of TCAF, Azure Verified Modules, landing zones or enterprise-scale Azure governance.
• Knowledge of secure development practices, threat modelling, OWASP or application security testing.
• Experience supporting ISO 27001 controls, evidence gathering or audit readiness.

Qualifications:

• Relevant Microsoft Azure certification such as AZ-400 or AZ-500, or equivalent practical experience.
• Security, cloud or DevSecOps certifications such as SC-200, CISSP, CCSP or similar would be beneficial.
