Rightsline is looking for a security-focused Sr DevSecOps Engineer to join our 100% remote team. This role is a unique hybrid, splitting your time 50/50 between operational stability — investigating security incidents and maintaining system health — and proactive engineering, where you will build, automate, and harden our infrastructure. Reporting to the DevOps Manager, you will be a key contributor to the safety and integrity of our AWS and Active Directory environments. You will be working in a collaborative environment with a team who shares your passion for building impactful solutions with cutting edge technology.

Mission & Impact

This role keeps Rightsline’s AWS and Active Directory environments safe, stable, and audit-ready. You will be accountable for how quickly security incidents are investigated and resolved, how much of our infrastructure hardening and patching is automated rather than manual, and how consistently security standards are enforced across the organization. Success looks like fewer repeat incidents, a steadily hardened environment, and teammates who can rely on you for security guidance and mentorship.

What You Will Bring

3+ years of experience working in a security engineering role

2+ years of experience in software development or automation scripting

2+ years of experience working with workloads running in a cloud environment

2+ years working with a Windows server environment

A strong desire and proven ability to reduce toil through the use of automation

Our Core Values

At Rightsline, we look for these qualities in every hire, and we hold ourselves to them every day.

Be Curious and Smart

Being smart isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about asking the right questions, seeking out new ideas, and never assuming you already know enough.

This industry moves fast and so do we. We don’t resist change — we lean into it. That means staying flexible, letting go of what isn’t working, and treating uncertainty as opportunity rather than obstacle.

Show Up

Showing up means being present — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Your teammates count on you. Your customers count on you. We do our best work when everyone is fully engaged and accountable to each other.

Get it Done

Ideas are easy. Execution is the job. We hold ourselves to what we commit to, push through the hard parts, and measure success by our actual accomplishments.

Be Humble

Nobody here has a monopoly on good ideas. We listen more than we talk, share credit freely, and check our egos at the door. The best outcome matters more than whose idea it was.

Rightsline is an equal opportunity workplace. All candidates will be afforded equal opportunity through the recruiting process. We do not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity and/or expression. We are dedicated to growing a diverse team of highly talented individuals and creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels empowered to bring their authentic selves to work.

If you are contacted for an interview and require accommodation during the interviewing process, please let us know.
