We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer to join our Cloud Security team, helping to build, automate, and scale secure cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines.
You’ll work at the intersection of DevOps, security, and cloud architecture, ensuring our platforms and services are secure by design and by automation.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys combining engineering excellence with a strong security mindset — building pipelines that are not only fast and reliable, but compliant and safe.
Automate and secure CI/CD pipelines across multiple environments (e.g., GitHub, Jenkins, or OCI DevOps).
Integrate security scanning into the build and deployment process (SAST, SCA, IaC scanning, container image scanning).
Implement and maintain infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible) following security and compliance best practices.
Enforce policy-as-code and compliance guardrails (OPA, Conftest, Checkov).
Collaborate with Cloud Security and Platform teams to define and apply secure cloud configurations (IAM, networking, encryption).
Support incident response automation and post-incident hardening activities.
Advocate for and contribute to a DevSecOps culture across development and operations teams.
4+ years of DevOps, Site Reliability, or Infrastructure Engineering experience.
Strong experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or OCI DevOps).
Proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Ansible) and container orchestration (Kubernetes).
Experience integrating security tools into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Trivy, Checkov, Snyk, SonarQube).
Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (Oracle Cloud preferred; AWS, Azure, or GCP also relevant).
Familiarity with identity and access management, network security, and encryption standards.
Strong scripting skills in Python, Bash, or Go.
Understanding of security principles such as least privilege, zero trust, and defense-in-depth.
Comfortable with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, OCI Logging).
Experience with compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS) is a plus.
