About the Role The Senior DevOps & Security Engineer is a hands-on technical role responsible for building, operating, securing, automating, and improving our cloud infrastructure and software delivery environments. Reporting to the Director of IT, DevOps & Security, this role works across Engineering, Data, and other teams to maintain secure, reliable, and well-monitored systems. The role focuses heavily on cloud security, compliance, vulnerability management, AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, and production reliability. This is a strong fit for someone who enjoys working across cloud infrastructure, security engineering, compliance, and broader technical problem-solving. The Day to Day - Translate security and compliance requirements into practical technical controls and directly support HIPAA, SOC 2, and related activities. - Build, maintain, secure, and improve AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes/EKS environments, identity and access controls (IAM), networking, databases, storage, logging, monitoring, and SIEM integrations.

- Develop and maintain Terraform, secure CI/CD pipelines, deployment tooling, and related automation. - Manage vulnerability scanning, security telemetry, incident response support, and application/infrastructure hardening. - Partner with Engineering, Data, and other internal teams to automate workflows, connect systems, and reduce manual work. - Build scripts, integrations, internal tools, and API-based automations across technical and business systems. - Maintain clear technical documentation, architecture diagrams, and infrastructure security standards. - Research and evaluate new tools, security practices, and infrastructure approaches to determine how they can be applied effectively in our environment. - Participate in on-call or escalation coverage as operational needs evolve. Our production environment is generally stable and relatively low-traffic, so after-hours work tends to focus more on planned maintenance, upgrades, and proactive security improvements than on responding to outages. Minimum Qualifications - 4+ years of experience in cloud security engineering, DevOps, cloud infrastructure, SRE, or a related field. - Strong understanding of cloud security, IAM, networking, vulnerability management, observability, and incident response. - Hands-on experience supporting or implementing security controls in regulated environments (e. g. , HIPAA, SOC 2).
