Your part in our mission
As digital systems grow in complexity, so do the risks and inefficiencies surrounding them. Your purpose is to help our clients and internal teams build secure, scalable, and efficient platforms making sure you're embedding security, automation, and best practice from day one. You'll shape and optimise DevSecOps approaches across Squarcle's AI-driven products and client engagements, ensuring we don't just keep pace with innovation, but lead it.
Our structure
At Squarcle, we work in a matrix structure designed to support your growth and success. You'll have a
Performance Manager
to guide your career development, an
Engagement Manager
to support your day-to-day project work, and a
Capability Lead
to ensure best practice across tools, people, and processes. This role sits within our Digital Capability, where you'll work closely with
Kev
, our
Head of Technology Services
,
Mo
, our
Head of Software Engineering
, and
Alex
, our
Digital Transformation MD
. Your Performance Manager and project assignment will be confirmed once your first engagement is agreed.
This is what you'll be doing
You'll be joining us as we build momentum. This means there's room for people to shape how we grow, not just keep up with it. We know people are the secret to our success and so the level of this role will come down to the successful candidate. You can expect:
* Strengthen and embed DevSecOps practices across Squarcle and our client projects
* Own the technical design and implementation of secure, scalable cloud infrastructure (Azure-focused)
* Support developers by building and optimising CI/CD pipelines that streamline build, test, and deploy workflows
* Implement and advocate for best practices around secrets management, zero-trust security, and vulnerability mitigation
* Secure containerised environments (Kubernetes, Docker) and develop resilient cloud-native architectures (microservices, serverless)
* Ensure compliance with relevant security and privacy standards (e.g. ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR)
* Collaborate across Squarcle's matrix teams, taking accountability for delivery while supporting and developing less senior engineers
* Continuously improve infrastructure processes with a focus on performance, automation, and maintainability
Where you'll be stretched (and thrive)
* We're growing fast:
That means there isn't always a playbook. You'll need to be proactive, resourceful, and ready to make things happen
* We're a multifaceted team:
You'll often wear multiple hats. Sometimes you'll be doing work outside your job title – from rolling up your sleeves to supporting colleagues when priorities shift
* Consulting isn't always smooth sailing:
Client needs evolve, projects pivot, and ambiguity is part of the job. You'll need to be adaptable, calm under pressure, and comfortable navigating change
We think you'll love
* A culture that's truly people-first:
We're big believers in autonomy, trust, and bringing your whole self to work. You'll join a close-knit, collaborative team where everyone's voice matters. No egos, no bureaucracy, just brilliant people doing meaningful work together.
* Work that matters:
You'll partner with strategic clients to secure and modernise digital infrastructure that underpins vital public services.
* Learn fast, grow faster:
You won't just deliver - you'll develop. From hands-on engineering challenges and certifications to mentoring others and innovating our internal toolset, your growth is part of our strategy.
This isn't just another consulting role. It's a chance to be part of something growing, ambitious, and meaningful.
The skills you'll need to succeed in this role
* Proven experience in a consulting or client-facing role, with the ability to build trust and influence across stakeholders
* Deep expertise in Azure Cloud, including configuration, deployment, and governance
* Strong knowledge of Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and other observability tools
* Solid understanding of Azure security controls: threat protection, identity and access management (IAM), network security, and data protection
* Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform or Bicep, and experience implementing CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure deployments
* Hands-on experience with Secrets Management and Policy-as-Code approaches
* Confident working across cross-functional teams, contributing to threat modelling and incident response planning
* An advocate for secure-by-default infrastructure, with a track record of evangelising best practices across engineering teams
* Strong foundation in network security principles, including segmentation, firewalling, and intrusion detection/prevention
