Full Job Description
WHAT YOU WILL DO:

As a DevSecOps Engineer, you will play a hands-on technical role helping our client strengthen and operationalize the security of their member-facing digital platforms. This position is squarely focused on individual contributor engineering work - building, managing, and maintaining the infrastructure and automation that keeps critical security platforms running reliably and securely.

You will work within a fast-paced security engineering team that owns everything from edge protection to member identity, with a particular focus on CDN and next-gen WAF platforms including Fastly. You will contribute directly to the team's shift from reactive to proactive operations - writing code, managing Terraform, reviewing and approving PRs, and helping build the operational foundation that scales with the team's growing platform footprint. You will also play a role in onboarding and mentoring offshore team members as the organization builds out its India presence.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Build, manage, and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform across security and edge platforms.
  • Own CI/CD pipeline work including PR creation, review, and approval processes in GitHub.
  • Support the operational health of CDN and next-gen WAF platforms, with direct experience in or strong exposure to Fastly highly valued.
  • Contribute to the security of the software development lifecycle by enforcing separation of duties, reducing vulnerability introduction through code, and following secure development practices.
  • Collaborate with senior engineers and platform owners to support platform migrations and modernization initiatives.
  • Help build operational documentation, runbooks, and processes as the team matures its operational model.
  • Onboard and mentor offshore team members on platform standards and engineering practices.
  • Use GitHub Copilot and other AI-assisted development tools as part of day-to-day engineering work.


ABOUT YOU:

Your values:
    • Integrity: You believe in doing the right thing, even when it's uncomfortable, seemingly inefficient, or costly.
    • Purposefulness: You have a desire to serve others with your skillset and an openness to continuous learning and growth.
    • Ownership: You stick to your commitments, follow up with action, and seek clarity in communication & expectations.

YOUR EXPERIENCE:

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
  • 3+ years of experience in DevSecOps, infrastructure engineering, or a security-adjacent engineering role.
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines - you have built, maintained, or actively contributed to them, not just managed teams that do.
  • Working knowledge of Terraform - you have used it in a real environment; building from scratch is a plus but not required.
  • Proficiency in GitHub - PR creation, review workflows, branching strategies, and collaborative development practices.
  • Experience with one or more coding or query languages such as Python, JavaScript, PowerShell, Bash, or SQL.
  • Security-aware development mindset with an understanding of separation of duties, secure coding practices, and how to avoid introducing vulnerabilities through infrastructure changes.
  • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, understaffed environment and get oriented quickly without heavy hand-holding.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with CDN or WAF platforms such as Fastly, Akamai, or Cloudflare. Fastly experience is rare and highly valued.
  • Familiarity with identity and access management platforms, particularly Microsoft Entra or Azure AD B2C.
  • Experience working in or alongside a security operations team.
  • Comfort onboarding or mentoring others - eagerness to teach is valued as much as technical depth.
  • Background in retail, e-commerce, or other high-transaction consumer-facing environments.
