- Define and own the DevOps strategy, CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure and tooling across ShipSure.
- Own cloud cost optimisation (FinOps), driving efficiency and value for money across cloud spend.
- Own the platform security posture, embedding security into the software development lifecycle (DevSecOps).
- Uphold ISO 27001 controls and the information security management system (ISMS), embedding security compliance into pipelines, cloud infrastructure and ways of working.
- Improve developer experience through paved-road tooling, self-service automation and reduced friction in the delivery pipeline.
- Coach, mentor and upskill engineers across squads in DevOps, automation and cloud-native practices.
- Operate as a hands-on player-coach — contributing directly while raising the capability of the team.
- Uphold and evolve engineering standards in partnership with the Head of Engineering.
- Operate as a member of the IT Delivery Director’s leadership team, filling a critical capability gap.

- Solid security / DevSecOps experience, embedding security into the SDLC.
- Demonstrable experience coaching and upskilling engineers.
- Able to be Glasgow-based with regular onsite presence.
