About this opportunity
Modernising how data protection controls are engineered, deployed, and operated across the organisation.
This role sits within the Data Loss Management (DLM) team, but the focus is infrastructure engineering, automation, and platform enablement. You do not need to be a data loss or cyber security specialist, have prior experience with specific DLP tools, or possess deep regulatory knowledge, support is provided to help you learn the domain. Primarily, strong engineering expertise is sought.
Help transition from manual, software-based configuration to a policy-as-code, process-based model. Use modern engineering practices such as Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, version control, and automated testing.
Experienced Infrastructure, Platform, or DevOps engineers who enjoy building scalable systems and automated delivery pipelines will find this role built to suit their skills.
What you’ll be doing
Design and build automated pipelines to deploy, validate, and maintain platform configuration and policies.
Treat infrastructure and configuration as version‑controlled code, not manual changes.
Improve reliability, consistency, and speed of change through automation.
Build and evolve automated software delivery processes using various tools (i.e. Git (GitHub / Harness or equivalent pipeline tooling)
Introduce automated validation, approvals, and rollback patterns.
Reduce operational risk by embedding controls into pipelines.
Use Terraform (or equivalent) to define and handle infrastructure and platform components.
Promote reusable modules, standards, and patterns.
Support environments across on‑prem and cloud.
Develop scripts and tooling using but not limited to; scripting languages such as PowerShell, Python, Bash or their equivalents
Automate repetitive tasks and integrate platforms via APIs. Focus on engineering out toil.
Build utilities that support deployment, monitoring, and fixing issues.
Support production platforms by investigating issues, analysing logs and telemetry and improving resilience through engineering fixes rather than manual workarounds.
Act as a senior engineer, working independently with minimal direction and set technical direction within your area of responsibility whilst providing guidance and support to junior engineers where needed.
Why join us?
We’re redefining at pace. Investing billions in our people, data and tech to change the way we meet the needs of our 28 million customers. We’re growing, and we’d love you to be part of the journey.
What we’re looking for?
Someone who approaches problems as an engineer, using code and automation to replace manual configuration and design scalable, resilient solutions. Priority is given to strong engineering fundamentals rather than domain expertise.
Senior‑level experience in systems, environment, or DevOps engineering.
Strong experience with Git‑based workflows and version control.
Hands‑on experience building or owning CI/CD pipelines.
Practical use of automated infrastructure configuration through code (Terraform or similar).
Scripting experience in PowerShell, Python, command-line scripting, or comparable languages.
Understanding of modern infrastructure architectures (cloud, hybrid, on‑prem).
And any experience of these would be great
Experience working with platforms that use APIs.
Exposure to policy‑as‑code or configuration‑as‑code approaches.
Experience operating platforms in regulated or high‑risk environments.
