What Does a DevSecOps Engineer Do?
DevSecOps Engineers help organisations integrate security into the processes and platforms used to build, deploy and operate software.
The role combines DevOps, cloud infrastructure and security engineering, using automation to introduce security controls throughout CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure provisioning and application delivery.
DevSecOps Engineers often work alongside DevOps Engineers, Platform Engineers, Software Engineers and Cyber Security teams to identify risks earlier, automate security checks and build secure engineering practices into everyday technology delivery.
DevSecOps Engineer Skills & Experience
The exact technical requirements vary between organisations, but DevSecOps Engineer roles commonly involve experience across areas such as:
- DevSecOps
- CI/CD
- Infrastructure as Code
- Terraform
- Kubernetes
- Docker
- Ansible
- Jenkins
- GitHub Actions
- GitLab CI/CD
- Azure DevOps
- Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- Microsoft Azure
- Google Cloud Platform
- Helm
- Argo CD
- Cloud Security
- Security Automation
- Monitoring and Observability
- Secure Software Delivery
DevSecOps Engineers may specialise in cloud security, pipeline security, platform engineering or infrastructure automation, while others work across the wider software delivery lifecycle.
Strong automation, cloud and security knowledge is particularly important when introducing effective controls without unnecessarily slowing engineering teams or software delivery.
Typical DevSecOps Engineer Responsibilities
- Embedding security controls into CI/CD pipelines
- Automating security checks throughout software delivery
- Building and maintaining secure infrastructure using Terraform and infrastructure as code
- Supporting secure Kubernetes and container environments
- Implementing security controls across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud platforms

- Supporting vulnerability identification and remediation
- Automating security and compliance processes
- Monitoring cloud and platform environments for security issues
- Supporting secure application deployment and release processes
- Working with DevOps, platform, software engineering and cyber security teams
- Helping engineering teams adopt secure development and operational practices
Responsibilities vary depending on the organisation, cloud environment and whether the role is focused on CI/CD security, cloud infrastructure, platform engineering or wider DevSecOps transformation.
DevSecOps Engineer Salary Expectations
DevSecOps Engineer salaries vary according to experience, location, cloud platform, security expertise, sector and the complexity of the technology environment.
Permanent DevSecOps Engineer
Around £60,500 per year
