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 optimises 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.

Key Metrics

Success in this role is measured by tangible improvements in security, operational maturity, and scalability, including:

• Security posture
  • Reduction in high‑ and critical‑risk findings
  • Consistent implementation of security controls and best practices
• DevSecOps maturity
  • Increased standardization and reliability of infrastructure and security patterns
  • Reduced manual work and configuration drift through durable automation
• GRC & audit readiness
  • Ability to meet audit and enterprise customer requirements with minimal friction
  • High‑quality, repeatable security documentation and evidence
• Operational quality
  • Clear, actionable observability and alerting
  • Fewer security and operational issues caused by process or configuration gaps
• Long‑term impact
  • Delivery of scalable, well‑architected improvements adopted across teams
  • Trust established as a senior technical owner and advisor
