We need someone with a Microsoft tech-stack background who has experience as a Azure DevSecOps Consultant or even a good old fashioned Unix / Linux Systems Administrator. We want someone with a development / some form of coding background who has blossomed into Software Security / Cloud Security engineer. We NEED for you to have strong Azure skills, NOT AWS…although a blend would be acceptable.

Rather than someone from a bog-standard IT Operations background, we NEED you to have come from a Development background and you MUST have a good grounding within Software Development as you will mainly be working with Developers and need to be able speak their language and develop trust with them.

There will be opportunity to grow yourself and a team as the company matures. This role is a lead “hands-on” role and is perfect for someone who has come from a consultancy background with appropriate hands-on skills.

A passion for a modern security approach is paramount, where you help teams build security into their daily work life and are always looking to automate, streamline and shift left without compromise of quality and overall security.

Experience Required:

• Demonstrable experience as a Systems Administrator or Software Developer…or both!
• Expert Knowledge of Cloud Security
• Passion for DevSecOps and with knowledge of Terraform, Bicep, Sonar Cloud, Wiz, and other security products like Trivy
• Experience with cloud computing platforms such as Microsoft Azure
• A strong understanding of software development methodologies and practices

This is a great opportunity and salary is dependent upon experience.
