About the Role

As a DevSecOps Engineer, you will serve as a guardian of our security posture while enabling rapid, automated delivery.

This position requires a deep dive into the operational health of our systems. You will perform root cause analysis on network and security issues, manage access controls, and maintain comprehensive runbooks to prevent recurring incidents. A significant portion of your time will be dedicated to setting up and monitoring proxy servers, firewalls, and risk assessment protocols, ensuring our environment remains resilient against evolving threats.
