As an AWS DevSecOps Engineer, you will combine cloud security architecture, DevSecOps automation, and advanced firewall/network security engineering to design secure systems, automate operations, and ensure the reliability, scalability, and security of AWS cloud environments.

Create SOAR-style automated incident response playbooks and threat detection routines.
Manage and enhance CI/CD tools including Jenkins, Git, Jira, Artifactory, and SonarQube.
Design secure, scalable AWS architectures using best practices and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
Implement policy-as-code to detect and prevent cloud resource misconfigurations before deployment.
Build and maintain containerized workloads on ECS and EKS, including automated container vulnerability management.
Deploy, configure, and manage AWS-native network security tools including AWS WAF, AWS Network Firewall, Security Groups, and NACLs.
Maintain and operate virtualized NGFWs such as Palo Alto, Fortinet, and Check Point running in AWS.
Monitor and analyze firewall logs, IDS/IPS alerts, and VPC flow logs to identify and mitigate threats.
Manage firewalls, F5 BigIP, VPN, DNS, SFTP, and other TCP/IP-based services.
Manage AWS services including EC2, VPC, Lambda, S3, EFS, ECR/ECS, EKS, Route53, IAM, RDS, CloudTrail, and CloudWatch.
Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code for provisioning, configuration, patching, and lifecycle management.
Conduct performance, availability, and security assessments across cloud and container environments.
Troubleshoot incidents, perform root cause analysis, and implement durable remediation.
Maintain system documentation, architecture diagrams, and security procedures.
Implement and enforce least privilege principles using AWS IAM, SSO, and identity integrations.
Automate permission audits and cloud security posture monitoring.
Support compliance with frameworks such as SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001.
What You’ll Bring
