Job Description
• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD security controls that scale across repositories and teams (reusable pipeline components, templates, and standards).
• Implement Kubernetes security architecture and guardrails (RBAC hardening, workload security baselines, admission policies, network policies, and safe multi-tenant patterns as applicable).
• Improve container security end-to-end: base-image strategy, vulnerability scanning, registry controls, image signing, and promotion workflows.
• Operationalize vulnerability management with risk-based prioritization, measurable remediation SLAs, and dashboards/metrics (MTTR, exposure trends, top recurring root causes).
• Drive developer enablement: clear documentation, lightweight design reviews/threat modeling for high-impact changes, office hours, and high-signal guidance embedded in tooling.
• This role builds and runs production security systems.
• You'll ship code and infrastructure, not just recommendations
• You'll own reliability and outcomes for the controls you build.
• You'll respond to incidents and on-call rotation related to platform security controls and pipeline reliability (scope aligned with Platform/SRE).
Job Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in DevOps/SRE/Platform Engineering and/or Security Engineering with a strong automation and delivery focus.
- Hands-on experience securing AWS environments: IAM (least privilege), network controls, encryption (KMS), and centralized logging/detection.
- Strong Kubernetes security experience (EKS or equivalent): RBAC, workload hardening, and policy enforcement via admission control.
- Experience integrating security into CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows (SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, container scanning, IaC scanning).
- Infrastructure as Code proficiency (Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK, or Pulumi) and ability to embed guardrails into IaC workflows.
- Proficiency scripting/coding (e.g., Python, Go, Bash) to build integrations, automations, and internal tooling.
- Able to communicate risk and tradeoffs clearly and pragmatically to engineers; improves signal-to-noise rather than adding friction.
