About The Role

  • We are seeking a Senior DevSecOps Engineer who can help us design, implement, and scale security and operational foundations.
  • This is a senior, hands on role with broad scope and high ownership.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Act as a senior technical owner for DevSecOps and cloud security as the organization scales toward enterprise standards.
  • Operate effectively with a high degree of ambiguity, proactively shaping direction rather than executing predefined tasks.
  • Design solutions that are scalable, auditable, and sustainable across multiple teams and regions.
  • Maintain a strong bias toward quality, detail, and correctness in architecture, implementation, and documentation.
  • Think beyond immediate delivery and continuously improve foundations, tooling, and processes.

Core Responsibilities

  • Architect, implement, and continuously improve cloud security and DevSecOps practices across the organization.
  • Design and maintain secure, scalable AWS infrastructure using Terraform with a strong emphasis on best practices and maintainability.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering teams on CI/CD, code related workflows, and delivery practices.
  • Own and evolve monitoring, alerting, and observability using Datadog.
  • Lead the design and implementation of foundational security capabilities, including identity and access management, secrets and key management, network security and segmentation, logging, auditing, and incident readiness.
  • Drive security governance and GRC related initiatives.
  • Provide mentorship and set engineering standards through example, reviews, and documentation.
  • Collaborate with Engineering and IT Operations teams to ensure systems are secure, resilient, and operationally sound.

What You Will Need For This Position

  • 10+ years of professional experience in DevOps, DevSecOps, Security Engineering, or related roles.
  • Proven track record of successfully delivering meaningful security and infrastructure improvements in complex environments.
  • Strong hands on experience with AWS (security, networking, IAM, and core services), Terraform (modular, scalable, and secure infrastructure as code), CI/CD pipelines (CircleCI or comparable tools), Datadog or similar observability platforms.
  • Solid understanding of security and GRC best practices, including risk management, controls, and audit concepts.
  • Practical experience with day to day IT operations, including SaaS tooling, access management, operational workflows, and application of IT best practices in a growing organization.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and drive initiatives from idea to execution.
  • Strong attention to detail, documentation quality, and operational rigor.
  • Clear communicator who can explain complex technical and security concepts to both technical and non technical audiences.

Nice to have

  • Experience with compliance frameworks.

Key Metrics

  • Security posture: Reduction in high and critical risk findings; Consistent implementation of security controls and best practices.
  • DevSecOps maturity: Increased standardization and reliability of infrastructure and security patterns; Reduced manual work and configuration drift through durable automation.
  • GRC & audit readiness: Ability to meet audit and enterprise customer requirements with minimal friction; High quality, repeatable security documentation and evidence.
  • Operational quality: Clear, actionable observability and alerting; Fewer security and operational issues caused by process or configuration gaps.
  • Long term impact: Delivery of scalable, well architected improvements adopted across teams; Trust established as a senior technical owner and advisor.
