The Opportunity

As a full-time Senior DevSecOps Engineer, you will be a hands-on, high-ownership individual contributor responsible for improving the security, reliability, and delivery velocity of Ledn’s cloud platform. You’ll bring a security-first mindset to everything you build — hardening infrastructure, strengthening CI/CD pipelines, improving observability, and enabling engineering teams to ship safely and independently.

In Ledn’s Spain entity, this role also carries regulatory responsibility: you will own the availability, performance, and day-to-day operation of the entity’s ICT assets and applications, implement first-line security controls, and support compliance with MiCA and DORA ICT risk-management and operations requirements.

This is a role for someone who doesn’t wait to be told what needs fixing. You’ll identify gaps before they become incidents, propose solutions before they’re requested, and follow through from design to implementation to measurement. You’ll also leverage AI-driven tools and practices to accelerate your own effectiveness and that of the broader engineering organization.

You’ll work within a small, high-impact DevOps & Infrastructure team that operates as a platform and enabling team — our mission is to make the secure, reliable path the easiest path for every engineering Pod.

About the Role

• Platform Reliability & Operations (primary focus) Ship, scale, and harden our AWS/Kubernetes infrastructure. Build automation that eliminates toil, improve observability, and lead incident response — from detection to postmortem to action item closure.
• CI/CD & Developer Enablement (primary focus) Own our pipelines end-to-end. Build golden-path templates that let engineering Pods ship safely and independently. Improve pipeline speed and reliability so DevOps intervention becomes the exception, not the rule.
• Security Engineering (primary focus) Harden Kubernetes, AWS, and CI/CD with practical, measurable controls — policy-as-code, SAST/DAST, container and IaC scanning, secrets management, and least-privilege access. Build security in, don't bolt it on.
• AI-Augmented Engineering (primary focus) You actively use AI tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude, or similar) to accelerate your work — IaC generation, log analysis, incident triage. You're curious about applying them further and can do so with a security-aware mindset.
• ICT Designate— Spain Entity (secondary mandate) In addition to your global role, you'll formally serve as the ICT responsible for Ledn's Spanish entity under MiCA. This means maintaining the DORA Register of Information, supporting ICT third-party oversight, and providing periodic compliance reporting — in coordination with the global team. The regulatory lift is real but bounded; the global DevOps mission is where you'll spend most of your time.

What You Bring

• 5+ years DevOps/SRE/Platform Engineering with hands-on production ownership
• 2+ years of meaningful DevSecOps or Security Engineering scope
• Full ownership of your work from problem identification through delivery and measurement — don't wait for tickets to be assigned.
• Strong AWS expertise in multi-account environments (IAM, networking, compute, observability)
• Kubernetes operations and hardening (EKS, Helm, pod security, admission control)
• CI/CD platform ownership (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, ArgoCD, or similar)
• IaC proficiency (Terraform, CDK, Pulumi, or CloudFormation)
• Observability stack experience (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or similar)
• Policy-as-code tools (Kyverno, OPA/Gatekeeper, or Sentinel)
• Scripting ability in Go, Python, Bash, or JavaScript
• Working knowledge of DORA ICT operations and risk management
• Fintech or regulated environment experience (SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar)
• Fluent in English and Spanish

Nice to Have

• Experience with observability platforms built on OpenTelemetry, VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaLogs, or Tempo.
• Experience with AWS API Gateway, AWS Lambda and serverless frameworks like AWS SAM, Serverless.
• Experience building internal developer platforms or contributing to developer self-service tooling (Backstage, service catalogs).
• Exposure to AI/ML operations tooling, LLM integrations, or MCP (Model Context Protocol) workflows.
