About The Role

We are a fast-growing scale-up evolving into a globally operating, enterprise-grade organization. As part of this transition, we are seeking a Senior DevSecOps Engineer who can help us design, implement, and scale security and operational foundations that will support the business for years to come.This is a senior, hands-on role with broad scope and high ownership. You will operate in an environment where not everything is fully defined yet – but where the expectation is to bring clarity, structure, and durable solutions rather than wait for direction.We are looking for someone with an architect mindset: a professional who thinks in systems, values correctness and consistency, and is deeply committed to long-term improvements. This is not a role for someone who optimizes for speed at the expense of quality.

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.
