DevSecOps Lead

👋 About Us

It's hard to build a reliable system. It's harder to make sure that what you've built is really reliable.

Synthesized is redefining software testing with agentic AI. Our platform automates test data, test cases, and test environments - empowering enterprise teams to ship faster, reduce compliance risks, and modernise QA at scale.

Our products are used by some of the world's leading organizations, such as Deutsche Bank, UBS, the European Commission, and others.

We’re an ambitious VC-backed startup, having just gone through Series A with leading global investors including IQ Capital, Seedcamp, and Deutsche Bank. We have ambitious growth plans for 2026, and we are so keen for you to join us on the journey.

🔍 The Role

We're expanding our cloud offering capabilities and seeking a DevSecOps Lead to strengthen our foundation for future growth. You'll support our cloud automation strategy, creating scalable, secure infrastructure through code. This role has a significant impact on both our development teams and customers' engineering teams. You'll help shape our cloud architecture decisions from the ground up with significant growth opportunities as you build solutions that enable faster development and deployment without compromising security.

  • Own identity and access management (IAM), secrets management, and network security

  • Embed security into CI/CD pipelines (SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, container scanning)

  • Implement zero-trust principles and least-privilege access controls

  • Oversee vulnerability management and remediation processes

  • Mentor and lead DevSecOps engineers, setting standards and best practices
