We're looking for a Senior DevSecOps Engineer to join our small, high-impact team as the second-in-command (2IC) to the DevSecOps Lead. This isn't a role where you blend into the background — on a small team, everything you do is amplified.
We're trusted by banks and other security-conscious organisations to handle sensitive data. The security, stability, and reliability of our operations is paramount.
You're comfortable driving large initiatives to completion, navigating ambiguity, and making sound decisions without waiting for permission. You're a leader by default — whether or not it's in your title.
You're also not afraid to get your hands dirty: wrangling Lambda functions, building Terraform configurations, and helping design and implement infrastructure for major new service capabilities.
We are an AI-first organisation. Our engineering teams use Claude Code, and we're heavily invested in empowering both engineering and the wider business with AI tooling. You should be enthusiastic about leveraging AI to move faster and do more with less.
