This is a hands-on opportunity to embed security into every stage of the development lifecycle automate security controls strengthen AWS environments and champion a security-first culture across engineering teams. If youre the type of person who sees a manual process and immediately wants to automate it sees a security risk and wants to engineer it out of existence and hears weve always done it this way as a challenge rather than an explanation youll fit right in.
Key Responsibilities:
- Be the guardian of the gates building security into every deployment pipeline and platform before threats even get a chance to knock
- Hunt down vulnerabilities like a digital bounty hunter and automate their detection before they become tomorrows problem
- Turn security best practices into engineering superpowers by embedding them directly into CI/CD pipelines and development workflows
- Design cloud environments that are secure resilient and ready for anything the internet decides to throw at them
- Champion the shift-left movement helping developers catch issues early when fixes are quick and coffee consumption remains reasonable
- Build security guardrails that keep teams moving fast without driving off a compliance cliff
- Partner with engineers architects and technology leaders to make security everyones responsibility not just a teams job title
- Transform complex security risks into practical solutions that real humans can actually understand and implement
- Create visibility across the platform through monitoring reporting and observability because you cant protect what you cant see
- Explore emerging technologies and AI-driven solutions that push the boundaries of whats possible in modern security engineering
- Lead the charge toward a secure-by-design future where security is woven into every decision every release and every success story
- In short: youll be part security strategist part automation wizard part cloud defender and part engineering enabler helping build platforms that are as secure as they are innovative
Job Experience and Skills Required:
- Youve built a career in DevSecOps Security Engineering or Cloud Security and know how to stop problems before they start.
- Terraform AWS CI/CD and automation are your trusted sidekicks.
- You know your way around security frameworks cloud security IAM encryption and secure-by-design principles.
- SAST DAST vulnerability management and security tooling arent just buzzwords on your CV theyre tools youve used in the real world.
- Youre constantly looking for smarter faster more secure ways of doing things.
- You solve problems automate repetitive tasks and leave every platform stronger than you found it.
