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.
• Addition

[…]
(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.
