The expected salary range for this role reflects internal benchmarking and external market insights.\nWe're happy to discuss flexible working. If you'd like to, please indicate your preference in the application - though there's no obligation to do so now. Flexible working will be part of the discussion at offer stage.\nPURPOSE OF THE ROLE\nJoin BBC MediaTech DevOps team as a DevSecOps Engineer. You'll help build, operate and improve the software, platforms and automation that support secure software delivery across Media Technology. The role spans software engineering, cloud infrastructure, security tooling, CI/CD, vulnerability management and engineering automation. You'll work on practical engineering problems alongside experienced engineers and engineering teams. The role is intended to give you exposure to different parts of DevSecOps and security engineering rather than specialising in a single platform or security discipline.\nWHY JOIN THE TEAM\nYou'll work on practical engineering problems alongside experienced engineers and engineering teams. You'll be expected to independently deliver well-scoped pieces of work, while working with senior engineers on larger or more complex technical changes. The role is intended to give you exposure to different parts of DevSecOps and security engineering rather than specialising in a single platform or security discipline.\nYOUR KEY RESPONSIBILITIES AND IMPACT\nBuild integrations that connect security, engineering and organisational data to make findings easier for teams to understand and act on. Build, maintain and improve backend services, integrations, automation and internal engineering tools.\nWork with AWS infrastructure and Infrastructure as Code to deliver and operate secure cloud-based services. Help integrate security checks and controls into CI/CD workflows, including dependency scanning, code scanning, secrets detection and container or infrastructure security tooling.\nApply secure engineering practices around identity and access management, secrets, logging, monitoring, data handling and least-privilege access. Help operate and improve security and vulnerability-management platforms used by engineering teams.\nInvestigate technical issues across services, integrations, cloud infrastructure and security platforms, and implement appropriate fixes. Write automated tests, documentation and operational tooling to support reliable production services.\nDeliver well-defined engineering changes independently, from implementation through testing and deployment. Work with senior engineers on larger pieces of work, contributing to technical design, estimation and implementation.\nWork with engineering teams to understand security or operational problems and help implement practical solutions. Contribute reusable code, patterns, documentation and automation where these can help other teams.\nUse AI-assisted engineering tools where they provide useful support for coding, testing, investigation, automation or security analysis.\nYOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE\nESSENTIAL\nSoftware Engineering & Delivery - Experience building, maintaining and operating software services, integrations, automation, or engineering tooling, using at least one modern programming language.\nCloud & Platform Engineering - Experience working with cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS), including Infrastructure as Code, automated software delivery, and CI/CD practices.\nSecurity & Operational Awareness - Understanding of secure engineering principles, including APIs, authentication, access control, secrets management, monitoring, and software security best practices.\nProblem Solving & Technical Ownership - Ability to investigate technical issues, understand unfamiliar systems, and deliver practical engineering solutions with minimal day-to-day supervision.\nEngineering Collaboration - Experience using source control and automated testing, with the ability to clearly communicate technical challenges, solutions, and implementation decisions within an engineering team, alongside a strong interest in DevSecOps and security engineering.\nDESIRABLE\nApplication & Cloud Security Tooling - Experience with vulnerability management, application security, cloud security, and related security tooling such as dependency scanning, static analysis, secrets detection, or container scanning.\nModern Cloud Architectures - Experience working with serverless, container-based, event-driven, or microservice architectures.\nIntegration Development - Experience building integrations using APIs, webhooks, and event-driven technologies.\nOperational Excellence - Experience with logging, monitoring, alerting, incident investigation, and other operational support practices.\nPlatform & Engineering Enablement - Experience contributing to shared engineering platforms or tooling, including the use of AI-assisted development tools to improve engineering productivity.\nIf you can bring some of these skills and experience, along with transferable strengths, we’d love to hear from you and encourage you to apply.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5290,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Professional Services","Broadcasting","Digital Media","Nonprofits & Foundations"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-16T13:59:35Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":4,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T00:13:09Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":76225,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bbc-uk-security-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bbc-uk-security-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T00:13:09Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":270,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":11332},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=11332"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbbc-uk-security-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbbc-uk-security-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbbc-uk-security-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/bbc-uk-security-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbbc-uk-security-software-engineer"}]}
