Our remit spans DevOps, DevSecOps, FinOps, Platform Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and Developer Experience (DevEx). We partner with divisional DevOps/TechOps teams and Information Security (InfoSec) to establish consistent controls and governance across the software development lifecycle (SDLC). As a globally distributed team, we build services, policies and automated controls that secure the developer toolchain while keeping our platforms simple, consistent and engineer friendly. The Impact As Lead DevSecOps Engineer, you will set the direction for how S&P Global secures the way its software is built and delivered.

Provision, secure and optimise AWS services supporting the developer platform, including EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, S3, IAM and CloudFormation/CDK. Lead security architecture reviews and incident response for toolchain security events. Governance, Risk and Compliance Govern application security and supply chain tooling, including exception management and remediation service-level agreements (SLAs). Triage security findings, prioritise vulnerabilities by risk and track remediation to closure. Establish governance for credentials, secrets and non-human identities across the developer toolchain. Define governance for AI-assisted development tools and developer endpoint security. Monitor sensitive configuration changes, implement alerting and own audit readiness and compliance evidence. What We’re Looking For Experience and Leadership 8+ years of experience in DevSecOps, application security or security engineering, including leading teams or programmes. Proven ability to define security policy and standards, translate them into technical enforcement, and drive adoption across a large organisation.
