Feeling energized to make a meaningful impact on the world? Then keep reading - you've come to the right place. Role Description Form Energy is scaling quickly across research, engineering, and manufacturing, and the integrations, automations, and AI-enabled tools that connect our systems need to be built securely from the start. As Senior Staff DevSecOps Engineer on the IT Engineering & Platforms team, you will define and lead how the team embeds security into the design, build, and operation of integrations, ETL/data pipelines, automations, and custom-built tools - including MCP servers and other AI-agent tooling. You will set secure-development standards for the team, work hands-on building and configuring systems yourself, and serve as the senior technical voice on security for everything the team ships. Relocation assistance is available. What you'll do: Define and lead secure-SDLC practices for integrations, automations, ETL/data pipelines, and custom-built tools - including secure design review, dependency and secrets scanning, and secure coding standards - and mentor other engineers on their application. Own application-layer security strategy for the team's deliverables: static and dynamic analysis (SAST/DAST), dependency and supply-chain vulnerability management, and secrets detection across the codebase and CI/CD pipelines. Set the architecture and guardrails for securing AI and agentic tooling specifically - credential scoping and least-privilege access for MCP servers and AI integrations, safe handling of data passed to and from LLM-based tools, and defenses against prompt-injection and data-exfiltration risk in custom AI workflows. Harden CI/CD pipelines - least-privilege service accounts, secrets management, signed or verified artifacts, and gated deployments - and establish standards other engineers build against. Build and configure integrations, automations, and tooling alongside the DevOps team as needed, modeling the secure-development practices you define. Build security observability into what the team ships: audit logging, anomaly alerting, and incident-relevant telemetry for integrations and automations. Own a risk-based inventory of the team's integrations, automations, and custom tools, with documented data flows and access scopes. Serve as the senior technical security liaison between IT Engineering & Platforms and the Information Security & GRC vertical - informing policy and control design with implementation-level context. Lead response for security-related incidents in integrations and automations, and own the related incident response runbooks. What you'll bring: 9+ years in application security, DevSecOps, or security engineering, including experience building or supporting integrations, automations, or data pipelines in an enterprise IT environment. Demonstrated experience setting secure-development standards and mentoring other engineers, not just applying existing standards. Strong scripting and programming skills (e.g., Python, JavaScript / TypeScript, or PowerShell) and hands-on experience with REST APIs and JSON. Deep, hands-on experience with SAST/DAST tooling, dependency and software composition analysis (SCA), and secrets-management practices. Strong command of cloud and identity security fundamentals - least-privilege IAM design, SSO (SAML / OIDC), and secrets/credential management. Experience securing CI/CD pipelines end to end and familiarity with version control (Git) and modern deployment practices. A pragmatic, detail-oriented approach to building reliable, secure systems in a fast-paced environment, and comfort operating as a peer to both engineering leadership and security/compliance stakeholders. Preferred Qualifications: Experience securing AI/LLM-based tooling or agentic systems, including MCP servers, AI integrations, or similar emerging architectures. Experience with iPaaS / integration platforms (e.g., Workato, Boomi, MuleSoft, Zapier) or custom-built integrations. Familiarity with compliance frameworks relevant to a SOX or audit-controlled environment (e.g., segregation of duties, change management, access review). Experience with cloud platforms (Microsoft Azure preferred, Google Cloud, or AWS) and infrastructure-as-code or configuration-management tooling. Experience in a manufacturing, hardware, laboratory, or high-growth technology environment. #LI-Onsite Humanity is a cornerstone of Form Energy's culture, and we make sure our compensation and benefits reflect that.
