Shape the future of container security within a major digital transformation initiative.

We’re supporting a leading technology-driven organisation in building out its container-as-a-service platform based on Red Hat OpenShift and Advanced Cluster Security (ACS). This is a hands-on, highly autonomous technical role where you’ll be responsible for designing, configuring, and securing Kubernetes clusters used by hundreds of internal users.

You’ll join a small, collaborative team with a strong Linux and open-source background that’s modernising infrastructure and moving toward full containerisation.

• Pivotal technical role in a strategic OpenShift/ACS rollout (approx. 40 containers).
• Freedom to design and implement cluster security architecture from the ground up.
• Close collaboration with Red Hat engineers and direct input into best practices.
• Dynamic, hands-on culture – a team that supports each other, even outside their core scope.

Your Impact

• Define and implement security policies, governance, and risk frameworks.
• Evaluate and address vulnerabilities and risks proactively.
• Collaborate with Red Hat and internal teams to ensure continuous improvement.

• Hands-on expertise in Kubernetes Security, policy management, and cluster hardening.
