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 Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing 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.

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: salaries, hiring trends and the AWS, Azure and GCP skills shaping UK cloud careers over the next three years. Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud computing 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.
