We're partnering with a leading international bank in the City of London to hire a DevSecOps Subject Matter Expert (SME).

• Develop, implement, and enforce security policies, standards, and best practices.
• Lead incident response and root cause analysis for security-related issues.
• Mentor and train teams on DevSecOps principles, ensuring knowledge transfer and capability building.

What we're looking for:

• Proven experience as a DevOps or DevSecOps SME with hands-on implementation experience.
• Strong expertise across CI/CD pipelines, automation, and secure SDLC , not solely security focused.
• Experience integrating security into DevOps workflows while balancing delivery responsibilities.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Strong communication skills and the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.
• Proactive, collaborative, and able to deliver practical solutions while advising teams.
