We’re looking for a Security Dev Ops Engineer to join us in Manchester to help integrate security practices into the software development process; making sure our applications are secure and reliable. In this role you’ll work in a hybrid way – splitting your time between home and the office.

• Implement and maintain security tools for continuous monitoring and testing
• Support colleagues with responding to and solving security-related issues
• Deliver appropriate training and workshops to colleagues; helping to promote a security-conscious culture across Co-op

This role would suit people who have

• Experience in a software development, systems administration or security role
• A strong understanding of secure coding practices and common software vulnerabilities (e.g. OWASP Top 10)
• Good communication skills, with the ability to translate often complex language to a non-technical audience
• Familiarity with modern software development methodologies (e.g. Agile and DevOps)
• Familiarity with cloud security concepts and practices (e.g. AWS and Azure)

Why Co-op?

• Private healthcare
• An annual bonus (based on personal and business performance)
• 28 days holiday (rising to 32 with service) plus bank holidays
• A pension with up to 10% employer contributions
• Access to a subsidised onsite gym (at our Manchester HQ)
