We're rethinking security beyond traditional military domains, addressing asymmetric threats that impact our technological advantage, economic strength, and democratic institutions.\nWe build Acra - the platform foundation for everything we do as a dual-use technology company. The platform’s name, rooted in the Greek word for citadel (or, fortress), reflects the design and purpose of our infrastructure-agnostic secure enclaves: protecting critical data. Some of the government and commercial workflows include: increased operational resiliency for mission-critical systems and functions; enabling organizations to more quickly and widely adopt emerging technologies while ensuring the integrity of their intellectual property; information flow during disaster response scenarios, and zero-trust / least-privilege environments for M&A, attorney-client privileged communications, etc. And we’ve only scratched the surface.\nAt our core, we're driven by a shared mission and a belief in making a tangible impact on our world. Whether you join our London HQ or the wider global organisation, you’ll be a part of collaborative, high-performing teams, creating cutting-edge software, platforms, and infrastructure.\nThe Role\nJoin us as a DevSecOps and help us build the future of data sovereignty! We're seeking an DevSecOps passionate about creating high-performance, secure, scalable, and reliable services for our production infrastructure and security. You'll have a direct impact, improving existing systems and developing innovative solutions to complex challenges.\nOur small, collaborative engineering teams own the full lifecycle of their services, from development to production operations. We champion automation and empower you to choose the best tools for the job. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment where you can make a real difference, we want to hear from you!\nWhat You’ll Do:\nDevelop and implement a comprehensive observability strategy for self-hosted deployments, including infrastructure and tooling for monitoring, alerting, and troubleshooting. This will involve designing and implementing robust metrics and logging systems.\nEngineer the Acraplatform for high availability and fault tolerance. This includes ensuring resilience against Cloud Availability Zone outages and the ability to gracefully handle node failures.\nGuarantee 99.9% uptime for the platform's control plane and deployment management. Design and implement a disaster recovery plan with active/passive deployments and seamless failover capabilities.\nArchitect and implement a highly available deployment setup for applications within the Acra platform. This will involve designing and building the infrastructure and processes necessary for continuous operation.\nCreate and maintain robust backup and recovery strategies for all Valarian products, ensuring data integrity and minimal downtime in the event of a failure.\nIntegrate and manage an incident detection and paging solution to ensure rapid response to critical issues and minimize service disruptions.\nScale the Acra platform and applications to support large concurrent user bases (25+ users) and sustained daily usage. This will involve performance tuning, capacity planning, and optimization of resource utilization.\nCollaborate closely with the product engineering team to influence the design and implementation of new products and features, ensuring they meet our reliability and scalability standards from the outset.\nPreferred Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree (or foreign equivalent) in Computer Science or a related fieldis desired; relevant practical experience will also be considered.\nProficiency with programming languages like Go, Bash, Python.\nDeep experience with Kubernetes security: RBAC, PodSecurityPolicies (or their replacements), Admission Controllers and Kubernetes network policies.\nProficiency in secure networking practices, including TLS, mutual TLS (mTLS), ingress/egress controls and VPN tunneling configurations.\nProven experience operating and securing service mesh technologies (e.g. Istio, Linkerd, or Consul Connect).\nHands on experience with HashiCorp Vault in production, including dynamic secrets engines, auth backends and policy design.\nPractical knowledge of HAProxy or equivalent reverse proxies/load balancers, with experience configuring L4/L7 security protections.\nFamiliarity with CVE triage workflows and integrating vulnerability scanners into CI/CD and registry workflows.\nExposure to runtime security tooling (e.g. Falco, eBPF-based monitoring) and familiarity with basic incident response workflows.\nComfort representing engineering in external calls with auditors, pentesters and security vendors; able to explain infrastructure decisions in security terms.\nFamiliarity with compliance standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc) and cloud security postures in AWS, Azure or GCP would be preferable but not essential.\nSalary & Benefits\nCompetitive salary and equity grants\nEmployer pension contributions;\noUK roles include enhanced employer pension contributions\noUS roles include 401(k) retirement savings plan - traditional and Roth\nPlatinum healthcare benefit;\noFor US roles, we offer comprehensive medical, dental and vision plans at little to no cost to you\noFor UK roles, Valarian will cover the full cost of the Private Medical Insurance (PMI) premium for an employee and dependents\nBasic Life / AD&D and long-term disability insurance 100% covered by Valarian\nHybrid work arrangements are managed at team level\nGenerous holiday calendar and PTO\nRelocation assistance (depending on role eligibility)","description_format":"text","description_chars":5750,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Health insurance","Hybrid work","Relocation assistance","Retirement plans"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["DevSecOps","AI Governance & Compliance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-13T19:35:28Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":6,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.2,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":272,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T00:52:35Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/valarian-devsecops-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/valarian-devsecops-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T00:52:35Z","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":1272,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"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":690001},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=690001"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fvalarian-devsecops-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%2Fvalarian-devsecops-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%2Fvalarian-devsecops-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/valarian-devsecops-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fvalarian-devsecops-engineer"}]}
