Job Description

We are a rapidly growing UK-based DevSecOps consultancy, delivering expert services to clients worldwide. As we continue to expand, we're looking for talented Python Django developers with a security-first mindset who are looking to move into a DevSecOps role.

Due to project requirements, this role is only open to UK Citizens who have resided in the UK for at least the past 5 years.

About the Role

This position is ideal for a talented developer with skills in Python Django who wants to transition into a more security-focused role. You'll work on a variety of tools-both open and closed source-collaborating with a team of experienced engineers to develop, maintain, and enhance our tooling.

You'll be hands-on with cutting-edge DevSecOps technologies, working alongside senior engineers on diverse projects that span development, operations, and security. This role offers a unique opportunity to build a highly sought-after, niche skill set at the intersection of these disciplines.

Potential progression within this role includes the opportunity for upskilling into WebApp penetration testing, with training and qualifications available to support this progression.

This is a remote position, with the very occasional requirement to travel to our North Yorkshire offices, industry events, and potentially client sites.

Key Responsibilities
  1. Develop, maintain, and enhance security-focused applications and tooling.
  2. Collaborate with engineers to troubleshoot, debug, and write clean, scalable code.

  4. Awareness of Cloud (essential).

  6. Terraform experience.

Personal (essential):
  1. A clear passion for development and security - if you have any personal projects or activities you've done outside of work/studies, it would be great to hear about them! (e.g., Hack the box, development projects etc).
  2. An eagerness to expand your security knowledge.
  3. Problem-solving skills and the ability to work under deadline.
  4. Adaptability, a willingness to learn, and a strong customer-focused mindset.
  5. Communication and customer service skills.
  6. The ability to manage your own workflow and time.
  7. A strong team-player.
Why Join Us?
  1. Work in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with a talented and supportive team.
  2. Gain hands-on experience with the latest DevSecOps tools and practices.
  3. Build a rare and highly valuable skill set across development, security, and operations.
  4. Engage in challenging, cutting-edge projects.
  5. Development opportunities including certifications and qualifications.
  6. Private medical cover (includes cover for spouse and dependents under 18).
  7. 25 days holiday per annum (in addition to all UK bank holidays).
  8. Remote role - with minimal requirement to attend site throughout the year.
  9. Opportunities to attend cyber events (Some examples being BlackHat, BSides, DTX).
