As a DevSecOps Consultant, you will take a more technically involved role in embedding application security across the software development lifecycle (SDLC). You will work closely with engineering, platform, and security teams to design, implement, and operate software security controls, while acting as a trusted technical advisor to development teams.
What you'll do
Own the end-to-end onboarding of approved software security tooling into the SDLC, working directly with engineering teams across design, development, testing, and deployment phases.
Act as a point of contact for application security within product and platform teams, providing guidance on secure design and implementation decisions.
Deliver developer-facing workshops covering software security tooling, secure coding practices, and common vulnerability classes and mitigations.
Drive and implement security automation initiatives to improve coverage, observability, alerting, and operational efficiency within the DevSecOps function.
Develop custom automation tools to follow the “trust-but-verify” model to ensure that technical controls are adhered to across the code estate (e.g. Metric Reporting, Configuration updates, PR scanning, Naming Conventions, etc.)
Own software security activities, including code reviews, dependency risk analysis, and vulnerability triage within Sky’s technology landscape.
Lead or actively contribute to application-level security incident response, including investigation, containment, remediation guidance, and root cause analysis.
Collaborate closely with wider security functions (e.g. Security Remediation, Threat Intelligence, Threat Modelling) to ensure application risks are understood and addressed appropriately.
Support and improve the operation of software security tooling such as SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and CI/CD security controls.
Contribute to the definition, evolution, and enforcement of security standards, patterns, and guardrails for engineering teams.
Please note: this role is driven by business demand, and participation in out-of-hours support may be required.
What you'll bring
Technical Software or Security related degree (E.g. Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering etc.) with a firm baseline in technical computing concepts across software, security, cloud, and development.
Strong understanding of modern software development practices and the full software development lifecycle (SDLC), including all stages from planning to testing and integration.
Knowledge of application security principles and common vulnerability classes (e.g. OWASP Top 10), including practical mitigation strategies.
Hands-on experience with at least one programming or scripting language (e.g. Java, JavaScript, Python) in a production/enterprise environment, with the ability to review and reason about code.
Practical experience integrating, configuring or deploying application security tooling such as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA), and secrets scanning, and a firm understanding of the different scope of each scan type.
Good understanding of how modern applications are built and deployed, including Source Code Management, APIs, cloud-native architectures, and CI/CD pipelines.
Ability to communicate security concepts clearly and pragmatically to developers and engineering stakeholders.
Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate security issues independently and recommend proportionate and contextualised solutions.
Proven ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, platform, and security teams in an enterprise environment
Nice to have: Experience supporting or contributing to security incident response, vulnerability triage, or root cause analysis at the application or vulnerability level.
