DevSecOps Engineer

At Perkbox, we’re on a mission to improve lives by transforming how companies support their people. Through our all-in-one platform, we deliver meaningful benefits, recognition, and wellbeing solutions that make a real difference to employees every day.
But it starts with our own people.
We’re building a culture that reflects what we offer—one that prioritises wellbeing, celebrates impact, and empowers growth. If you’re excited by purpose-driven work, fast-paced growth, and creating better employee experiences at scale, you’ll fit right in.
Due to exciting growth, we are expanding our team and have created an opportunity for an experienced Senior DevSecOps Engineer. This is a contract offering a remote work mode and a monthly gross salary of €4,250.
Joining our Platform Engineering function and reporting to the DevOps Lead, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping and delivering DevSecOps practices across the combined Perkbox and Vivup platform. You’ll work closely with engineering leadership and cross-functional teams to improve developer experience, own cloud architecture, and ensure secure, resilient delivery at scale.
