We seek a Senior DevSecOps Engineer to design, implement, and scale security and operational foundations that will support the business for years to come. This senior, hands‑on role has broad scope and high ownership, requiring an architect mindset and a deep commitment to long‑term improvements. 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 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. Architect, implement, and continuously improve cloud security and DevSecOps practices across the organization.

Collaborate closely with engineering teams on CI/CD, code‑related workflows, and delivery practices. Own and evolve monitoring, alerting, and observability using Datadog. Lead 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. Requirements 10+ years of professional experience in DevOps, DevSecOps, Security Engineering, or related roles. Proven track record of 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), and 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 able to 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: 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.
