We’ll talk a bit more about us further down the page, but for now – let’s talk about the role and who we’re looking for…

As Allwyn transitions most of its technology services from on premise into a multi-cloud environment, Cloud Security becomes critically important to ensure our core services and gaming platforms are safe.

The Dev Ops engineer is the dedicated Dev Ops specialist focused on prioritising and resolving security defects and vulnerabilities across cloud platforms and application pipelines.

The role acts as the technical bridge between Cloud Engineering and the Security Operation Centre (SOC), Enterprise Security and Cyber Defence teams. The Dev Ops Engineer ensures that cloud infrastructure and delivery pipelines in AWS and Azure are Secure by Design, automating remediation where possible and embedding security controls into infrastructure as code (IaC) and CI/CD pipelines. You will champion secure engineering practices ensuring both speed of delivery and robust security posture across all environments.

• Monitor, triage and remediate vulnerabilities across applications, cloud workloads, containers, CI/CD pipelines and IaC repositories.
• Work closely with SOC, Enterprise Security and Cyber Defence teams to respond to active and emerging threats ensuring rapid technical remediation.
• Integrate security tooling into CI/CD pipelines including container scanning and secret scanning.
• Maintain and improve IaC security posture using Terraform and ensure compliance with security baselines and guardrails.
• Automate security checks and enforcement using policy as code, security scanners and cloud native services.
• Support threat modelling and secure solution design with engineering teams.
• Own vulnerability management workflows and ensure timely remediation in line with risk and audit expectations.
• Implement and maintain cloud security configurations (IAM, key management, WAF, security groups, logging and monitoring).
• Produce technical documentation, runbooks and remediation guidance for engineering teams.
• Work with product and engineering teams to embed security into development standards.
• Create and enforce governance policies.

• 3-5+ years hands‑on experience in Dev Ops, platform engineering or Dev Sec Ops  role.
• Strong development background with the ability to build automation and tooling for security remediation.

• Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines including Git Hub Actions.
• Practical experience with vulnerability management, threat remediation and working with the Security Operating Centre and Cyber teams.
• Strong understanding of modern application architectures.
• Demonstrated ability to keep up with rapidly evolving cloud technologies.

• Reduction in critical and high-risk vulnerabilities within agreed SLAs, cloud and application environments.
• Improved security posture as measured by cloud security benchmarks, IaC scanning results and automated policy compliance.
• Effective collaboration and faster incident response with SOC, Enterprise Security and Cyber Defence teams.
• Automation coverage increased, reducing manual remediation effort and improving…
