DevSecOps Engineer

We are seeking a DevSecOps Engineer to join our Engineering team. This role is critical to securing, hardening, and scaling the infrastructure that powers our platform across cloud-hosted production environments.

This engineer will work closely with platform, infrastructure, and security stakeholders to improve the security and operational maturity of our AWS and Kubernetes environments, support compliance and audit readiness, and help ensure our systems are reliable, secure, and maintainable as we grow. This role will also support environments serving regulated and security-sensitive customer needs, including an environment we host for a Government organization.

The ideal candidate combines strong hands-on infrastructure expertise with sound security judgment and a practical, execution-focused mindset. They should be comfortable working across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, operating systems, compliance controls, and production operations.

Core Responsibilities

Design, implement, and maintain secure, scalable infrastructure in AWS

Manage, secure, and improve Kubernetes-based environments, including production workloads

Build and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform

Harden production systems across cloud, compute, container, identity, and network layers

Develop and maintain secure baseline configurations for infrastructure and platform services

Support vulnerability management, patching, remediation, and configuration compliance efforts across environments

Configure, administer, and patch both Linux and Windows VMs

Support identity and access management practices, including least privilege, role design, and privileged access controls

Contribute to administration and integration of Active Directory domains where needed

Support compliance initiatives, audits, evidence collection, and technical control validation

Develop and maintain documentation, operational runbooks, technical standards, and playbooks

Monitor, troubleshoot, and resolve complex infrastructure and security issues with clear and timely communication

Participate in incident response and post-incident analysis when infrastructure or platform issues arise

Stay current on cloud, infrastructure, and security best practices that can improve platform resilience and delivery
