We are seeking a Senior 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.

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
