About the Role

As a DevSecOps Engineer within our internal team, you will serve as a guardian of our security posture and operational efficiency.

You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to replace manual processes with robust, script-driven automation, utilizing tools like Jenkins, GitLab, and Terraform. From performing penetration testing to maintaining comprehensive runbooks, your work ensures that our systems remain compliant, secure, and resilient against evolving threats.
