Software engineering & delivery

Design, build, test, and maintain backend services, APIs, and automation used by cyber

engineering and data teams.

Apply good engineering practices: design patterns, SOLID principles, pragmatic architecture,

and strong code quality.

Contribute to development, we have a lot of Go and Python (previous experience helpful but not

required; willingness to learn is essential).

Write clear technical documentation and support knowledge sharing across the team.

Platform, cloud & infrastructure as code

Build and operate cloud-based solutions on AWS or Azure, understanding core services and

how to use them securely and efficiently.

Use Terraform to provision and maintain infrastructure, including networking components and

access controls.

Work with cloud networking concepts (e.g., VPC/VNet, subnets, routing, security groups/NSGs,

private connectivity, DNS).

DevOps & operational excellence

Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using “pipeline as code” approaches, improving reliability,

repeatability, and auditability.

Configure and operate build/deployment agents/runners and associated tooling.

Implement secure secrets handling in pipelines (e.g., vault/managed secrets, rotation concepts,

avoiding secret leakage).

Support production operations where needed: monitoring, alerting, troubleshooting, and

continuous improvement.

Initial focus / day-to-day (first phase)

Manage and optimise API demand and onboarding for the cyber data lake through Kong (API

gateway), including access patterns, standards, and operational support.

Automate workflows across DevOps tooling and change/request processes, reducing manual

effort and improving control and traceability.

Required skills and experience

Strong programming experience in at least one major language (e.g., Java,



C#/.NET, Python),

with the ability to pick up new languages quickly.

Hands-on experience applying common engineering best practices (design patterns, SOLID,

refactoring, code reviews).

Working knowledge of modern testing approaches such as TDD/BDD, and building testable

services.

Cloud experience in AWS or Azure, with a practical understanding of core offerings and how to

use them in production.

Infrastructure as Code experience with Terraform (modules, state, plan/apply workflow,

environment separation).

Strong DevOps experience: CI/CD, pipeline-as-code, agents/runners, artefact management,

and operational hygiene.

Understanding of secrets management concepts in pipelines and deployments.

Comfortable working in a security-focused environment with a strong appreciation for control,

auditability, and risk management.

Desirable (nice to have)

Experience with API gateways (especially Kong), API lifecycle management, and API security

patterns (authN/authZ, rate limiting, mTLS, OAuth2/JWT concepts).

Experience building platforms/services that support data engineering teams (e.g., ingestion

services, metadata, access patterns, developer enablement).

Familiarity with big data ecosystems – particularly data bricks/spark (e.g., data lakes, distributed

compute, streaming) and observability practices.

Prior exposure to cyber/security engineering domains (useful, not required).

Lots of cloud engineering experience

Serious ownership of Devops Pipelines

Ways of working / behaviours

Has a point of view on “positive engineering” and can explain trade-offs clearly and respectfully.

Collaborates well across cyber, data engineering, and platform teams to get outcomes

delivered.

Takes responsibility for quality, security, and operability—build it, run it, improve it.
