Senior DevOps Engineer - CyberSec / Start-Up

About the Company:

Hyre AI is recruiting for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join a highly ambitious early stage cybersecurity start-up at a crucial time in their growth following a successful seed round.

Our client is on a mission to make the internet a safer place; their products aim to make sure that behind every click, login, and purchase - is a real human being.

If you're a scrappy engineer who wants a role with autonomy & impact, this role might just be for you!

What you'll be doing:

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you’ll be at the core of our client's infrastructure. They are building a lightning fast, highly maintainable microservice architecture at global scale. Their performance directly impacts clients’ application performance — uptime, latency, and resilience are part of their product’s promise.

You’ll play a key role in the development of CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes environments, enabling engineers and researchers to ship securely, recover quickly, and move with confidence. You’ll build the systems that make rapid iteration safe — from deployment workflows and rollout strategies to observability, alerting, and incident response.

You'll be actively exploring innovative approaches to automation, deployment, and environment management — things that give our client leverage, speed, and clarity without trading reliability. You’ll be encouraged to experiment, challenge convention, and bring ideas that raise the bar.

You’ll work closely with engineering, research, and product teams to translate detection breakthroughs into fast, reliable deployments — making sure innovation doesn’t just happen, but ships, scales, and holds up in the real world.

About you:

Here’s the kind of person who our client would be excited to work with:

  • You’re resourceful and fast-moving: You know how to navigate ambiguity and move projects forward without needing a playbook.

  • You think from first principles: You break problems down to fundamentals, question assumptions, and build smart, original solutions when needed.

  • You act with ownership: You take full responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks. You step into gaps, solve problems decisively, and keep standards high.

  • You bring high energy and clear thinking: You approach challenges with curiosity, positivity, and focus — and you keep momentum even when things get hard.

  • You care about the work, not the ego: You argue the case when it matters, back your thinking with evidence, and adapt quickly when new information comes in.

  • You’re multi-dimensional: You're more than just your technical skills — you're intellectually curious, open-minded, and constantly sharpening your edge.

    Your experience:

    Here's some thoughts on the experience you'll need to be successful in this role:

  • You’ve honed your skills over at least 4 years’ experience in DevOps or SRE roles; any background in InfoSec is a bonus

  • Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes

  • Demonstrable experience working with GCP or AWS

  • Proficient in CI/CD pipelines (bonus points for GitHub Workflows)

  • Familiarity with our programming languages would be a bonus (Node.js, GoLang, Python)

    What's in it for you:

  • Competitive salary (let’s talk!)

  • Stock options – share in their growth

  • Employer-matched pension plan

  • The opportunity to shape systems that stop fraud before it starts and front-row seat in redefining online trust and identity

How to Write a Cyber Security Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Cyber security is now a board-level priority for organisations across the UK. From financial services and healthcare to critical infrastructure, SaaS platforms and the public sector, demand for skilled cyber security professionals continues to grow. Yet despite this demand, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Cyber security job adverts often generate large volumes of applications, but few are a genuine match. Meanwhile, experienced security engineers, analysts and architects quietly ignore adverts that feel vague, unrealistic or disconnected from real security work. In most cases, the problem is not a lack of talent — it is the quality of the job advert. Cyber security professionals are trained to assess risk, spot weaknesses and question assumptions. A poorly written job ad signals organisational immaturity and weak security culture. A well-written one signals seriousness, competence and trust. This guide explains how to write a cyber security job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a credible security employer.

Maths for Cyber Security Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for cyber security jobs in the UK it can feel like “real security people” must be brilliant at maths. The reality is simpler: most roles do not need degree-level pure maths. What they do need is confidence with a small set of practical topics that show up repeatedly in day-to-day work across SOC, incident response, cloud security, AppSec, threat detection, IAM & security engineering. This guide strips the maths down to what actually helps you get hired. It includes a 6-week learning plan plus portfolio projects you can publish to prove the skills. You will focus on: Number systems & bitwise thinking (binary, hex, bytes, XOR) Modular arithmetic basics (enough to understand how modern crypto “works”) Probability & statistics for detection, triage & risk Discrete maths for logic, sets, graphs & complexity Security maths habits: estimation, false positive control & evidence-led reporting You will not waste time on heavy theory that rarely appears in junior or mid-level cyber security roles.

Neurodiversity in Cyber Security Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Cyber security is all about thinking like an attacker, spotting unusual patterns, protecting systems & responding calmly when everything looks like it’s on fire. It’s a discipline built on curiosity, persistence & noticing things other people miss. That’s exactly why it can be such a good fit for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a security role. In reality, the traits that can make traditional office work tough often line up beautifully with cyber security work – from hyperfocus in incident response to meticulous analysis in threat hunting. This guide is written for cyber security job seekers in the UK. We’ll look at: What neurodiversity means in a cyber context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to different security roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence during applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in cyber security – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine superpower.
