Associate DevSecOps Consultant

We believe in better. And we make it happen.

Better content. Better products. And better careers.

Working in Tech, Product or Data at Sky is about building the next and the new. From broadband to broadcast, streaming to mobile, SkyQ to Sky Glass, we never stand still. We optimise and innovate.

We turn big ideas into the products, content and services millions of people love.

And we do it all right here at Sky.

As an Associate DevSecOps Consultant, you will support the embedding of software security practices into the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Working closely with developers, engineering, and platform teams, you will help ensure that approved security tooling is adopted effectively and that teams follow Sky’s secure-by-design (“secure path”) approach to building and running software that is resilient to modern threats.

What you'll do

• Support the integration of approved software security tooling into the SDLC by working with engineering teams across design, development, and deployment phases.

• Participate in developer and engineering workshops to raise awareness of available security tooling, processes, and capabilities.

• Contribute to workshops focused on common application security vulnerabilities and recommended mitigations.

• Assist in driving automation within the DevSecOps team to improve security observability, monitoring, and operational efficiency.

• Collaborate with wider security functions (e.g. Security Remediation, Threat Intelligence, Threat Modelling) to promote secure software practices.

• Contribute to application security activities such as code reviews and vulnerability analysis within the context of Sky’s technology landscape.

• Work alongside developers to encourage secure coding practices and support improvements in overall security maturity.

• Support the day-to-day maintenance and operation of application security tooling, including SAST, SCA, and secrets scanning solutions.

• Contribute to the development and maintenance of security standards, patterns, and guardrails for engineering teams.

Please note: this role is driven by business demand, and occasional out-of-hours support may be required, as well as other duties as assigned.

What you'll bring

• A foundational understanding of software development concepts and the software development lifecycle (SDLC) including testing and security stages.

• Basic knowledge of application security principles and common vulnerabilities (e.g. OWASP Top 10).

• Production/Enterprise experience with at least one programming or scripting language (e.g. Java, JavaScript, Python, or similar).

• Awareness of what application security tooling does such as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA), and secrets scanning.

• Basic understanding of how modern applications are built and deployed (e.g. APIs, cloud-native services, CI/CD pipelines).

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain security concepts clearly to developers and engineers.

• A willingness to learn, self-develop, and stay up to date with emerging application security threats and best practices.

• Ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment and engage positively with a wide range of stakeholders.
