Position Summary:

Reporting to the Cybersecurity Lead, the Senior DevSecOps Engineer will design, deploy, and secure scalable AWS + Azure environments with a strong focus on Infrastructure as Code (IaC). The purpose of this role is to build secure cloud-native infrastructure from the ground up, operationalize AWS/Azure services, and automate the reliability and security of mission-critical systems. You will embed security-by-design across the SDLC by implementing secure CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, policy controls, and supply-chain protections (SBOMs, signed artifacts, provenance), while centralizing security telemetry into Microsoft Defender for Cloud for unified posture management, threat detection, and compliance. The role also secures cloud infrastructure, data, and key management using AWS KMS and Azure Key Vault, hardens AKS/EKS with policy-as-code (OPA/Gatekeeper) and runtime protections, and extends these controls to AI/LLM development and inference platforms including AWS Bedrock, AI Foundry, and vLLM.

Day-to-day responsibilities would include a combination of the following:

• Embed security-by-design across the SDLC with automated controls and measurable security outcomes.
• Deliver a secure, compliant AWS/Azure cloud foundation with strong data protection and key management.
• Harden container and Kubernetes platforms with consistent policy enforcement and runtime protection.
• Build and maintain secure CI/CD pipelines with SAST/SCA, IaC + container scanning, secret detection, and policy gates, including threat modelling and secure design practices.
• Enforce software supply-chain security (SBOMs, signed images, provenance verification) and route pipeline/code telemetry into Microsoft Defender for Cloud.
• Secure AWS/Azure workloads across identity, network, compute, and storage; implement encryption, classification, retention, DLP, and safe logging.
• Operate AWS KMS / Azure Key Vault (rotation, auditing, envelope encryption) and use Defender for Cloud for CSPM/CWPP, threat detection, and compliance.
• Harden AKS/EKS using pod security, OPA/Gatekeeper, network policies, secrets management, and runtime protections; govern artifacts via JFrog Artifactory (trust, allow/deny, immutability) and integrate Kubernetes signals into Defender for Cloud.

• Additional duties as assigned.

The ideal candidate will possess the following knowledge, skills, attributes, and values:

• Security minded with the utmost regard for confidentiality and discretion.
• Collaborative and helpful by nature.
• Strong sense of ownership in one’s work.
• Excellent communication and synthesis skills.
• Demonstrated track record supporting mission-critical workloads end-to-end: secure deployments, hardening, centralized logging/telemetry, compliance, and continuous optimization.

• Familiarity with cloud governance and security tooling including Microsoft Defender for Cloud, AWS SCPs/RCPs, Azure Policy, and OPA/Gatekeeper.

• 100% company paid medical premiums
• 17 company paid holidays
• Friday summer hours
• Monthly community happy hours
• Hybrid work environment
• Free catered food services for in-office days

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree or Diploma in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, or related discipline.
• 10+ years of experience in DevSecOps / Cloud Engineering delivering and securing production AWS and Azure environments, including cloud security architecture and operations.
• At least 3 years hands-on experience operating enterprise-scale platforms (systems engineering/administration), including reliability engineering, monitoring/telemetry, and incident response.
• Advanced IaC expertise with Terraform (plus CloudFormation/Bicep preferred), building standardized, governed cloud foundations (landing zones, guardrails, automation).
• Proven experience building and securing CI/CD automation using GitLab and/or Azure DevOps, including automated security testing and supply-chain controls (SBOMs, artifact signing, provenance).
• Strong Kubernetes security experience with AKS/EKS, including policy enforcement and runtime protections.
• Expertise in cryptographic key management and data protection, including AWS KMS / Azure Key Vault, encryption, and data security controls.
• Experience securing AI/LLM systems and inference platforms (AI Foundry, AWS Bedrock, vLLM), including knowledge of OWASP LLM Top 10 and LLM guardrails.
• Strong proficiency across Linux and Microsoft ecosystems (identity, hardening, patching, operational best practices) and scripting with Python/Bash/PowerShell (application languages such as Java/.NET/JavaScript (React.js) are a plus).

Compensation:

Compensation for the role includes a competitive salary in the range from $170,000 -$230,000 (inclusive of a merit-based bonus, dependent on years of experience, level of education obtained, as well as applicable skillset) and an excellent benefits package, including a comprehensive employer paid medical plan and generous employer match for 401k.
