What the job involves
- We are seeking a motivated Software Engineer 2 (DevOps) to join our engineering team
- In this role, you will help build, deploy, and support applications and cloud infrastructure while gaining hands-on experience with automation, CI/CD pipelines, and containerized environments

- Assist with the design, implementation, and automation of build, deployment, and configuration processes
- Support CI/CD pipelines to ensure smooth, reliable, and secure software delivery
- Deploy and configure builds of applications and containers into Kubernetes clusters and Tomcat servers
- Collaborate with development and QA teams to understand requirements and support application deployment
- Troubleshoot build and deployment issues by analyzing logs, debugging failures, and resolving environment/configuration problems

Our take
Due to the fast-evolving nature of cybercrime, companies can struggle to keep their security up-to-date and resilient. Sophos provides managed cybersecurity services to identify and resolve cyberthreats within all sizes of organisations, combining cutting edge cybersecurity tech with expert support teams.
Leveraging AI and machine learning, Sophos' system automates the detection and blocking of over 99% of threats, meaning its analysts only have to hunt down and stop the most sophisticated attackers. As well as its Managed Detection and Response (MDR) product - which, serving over 15,000 customers, is the most-used on the market - the company also delivers Incident Response Services for those experiencing an active threat.
Sophos is not a new player in the cybersecurity space, but has demonstrated its dedication to innovation with continued product launches, updates, and acquisitions such as that of BAE spinout SOC.OS that have kept its tech at the front of the market. Alongside many of its peers, the effects of the economic climate have caused Sophos to cut staff as it focusses on achieving “the optimal balance of growth and profitability", but this recent hiccup does not take away from its position as a market leader continuously leading adaption in the space.
