Job Description

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.

Qualifications

• 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.
