DevSecOps Consultant

* Sheffield (3 days per week onsite)

* Inside IR35

We're partnering with a leading financial services client to appoint a DevSecOps Consultant to drive secure engineering practices across large-scale, cloud-based platforms.

This role is ideal for someone who has come from a hands-on DevSecOps Engineering background and has since transitioned into architecture/design and advisory, while still retaining strong technical depth.

Key Responsibilities:

* Define and implement secure architecture patterns across engineering platforms (CI/CD, build systems, runtime environments)

* Conduct security assessments, threat modelling, and gap analysis across platforms and pipelines

* Develop and embed DevSecOps best practices, including secure pipeline design and automated controls

* Establish and enforce security baselines using policy-as-code

* Build and deliver security roadmaps, prioritising risk and regulatory requirements

* Partner with engineering and platform teams to remediate vulnerabilities and improve security posture

* Act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, translating technical risks into business impact

Key Requirements:

* Proven background in hands-on DevSecOps Engineering, now operating in a design/architecture-focused role

* Strong experience across both AWS and GCP (essential)

* Deep understanding of CI/CD pipelines, build tools, artifact repositories, and developer platforms

* Expertise in secure software delivery, vulnerability management, and platform security

* Experience with threat modelling, security frameworks, and maturity assessments

* Strong knowledge of application security, network security, and cloud security principles

* Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills

Desirable:

* Experience in financial services or regulated environments

* Knowledge of Kubernetes and container security

* Familiarity with supply chain security, SBOM, and secure development practices

* Relevant certifications (eg CISSP, CISM, CCSP)

This is a key role focused on shaping and embedding secure-by-design engineering practices across a complex, enterprise environment, with strong influence across both technology and security functions.

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising cyber security jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
