Your new role

• Act as a core support member of the Agile Transformation and Engineering Excellence team to drive organisation-wide technical delivery initiatives.
• Support the implementation and continuous refinement of the organisation-wide Agile Framework, standards, and controls, particularly for Security project delivery and DevSecOps pipeline maturity.
• Assist in the design and optimisation of tools and technology for implementing Agile and DevSecOps practices, including workflow management (e.g., Jira/Azure DevOps), automated vulnerability tracking boards, release gates, and infrastructure-as-code deployment metrics.
• Support the adoption of shift-left security practices, including establishing SecOps workflows, integrating SAST/DAST automation into sprint cycles, and driving organisation-wide metadata tagging for security compliance to enhance system auditability and risk readiness.
• Facilitate technical refinement and alignment for application optimization initiatives, driving teams to balance technical debt, cloud cost efficiency, code performance, and architectural scalability within sprint planning.
• Monitor delivery performance, DevSecOps metrics (e.g., deployment frequency, lead time for changes, mean time to recover, defect density), and team maturity levels, recommending continuous improvements for engineering efficiency.

What you'll need to succeed

• 
  Experience or exposure to driving security compliance within product lifecycles (e.g.,OWASP Top 10 mitigation, vulnerability lifecycle management) is a plus.
  
• 
  Solid grounding in technology concepts, with good understanding of the financial industry's security regulations. Prior experience in Banking or FinTech environments is preferred.
  
• 
  Analytical mindset with structured problem-solving capabilities to unblock complex technical dependencies.
