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.

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 team.

About the Role

What You'll Do

• Platform Reliability: Evolve cloud infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes), automate deployments, maintain observability, participate in on-call, and drive operational excellence (runbooks, postmortems, DR).
• CI/CD & Developer Enablement: Own CI/CD pipelines, build reusable "golden path" templates, champion developer self-service, and support progressive delivery strategies (Blue/Green, Canary).
• Security Engineering: Harden infrastructure across AWS, K8s, and CI/CD. Implement least-privilege access, policy-as-code, container security, SAST/DAST, supply-chain controls, and actionable security telemetry.
• AI-Augmented Engineering: Leverage AI tools (Copilot, Cursor, etc.) to accelerate infrastructure, security, and operational workflows.

Requirements

• 5+ years DevOps/SRE/Platform Engineering; 2+ years DevSecOps/Security Engineering
• Strong AWS (multi-account), Kubernetes (EKS), IaC (Terraform/CDK/Pulumi), and CI/CD experience
• Security fundamentals: hardening, secrets management, policy-as-code (Kyverno, OPA)
• Observability stack experience (OTel, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or similar)
• Scripting in Go, Python, JavaScript, or Bash
• Active AI tool user; proven bias for action and proactive ownership
• Willing to undergo applicable background checks, in compliance with local laws and regulations.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English required

Nice to Have: VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaLogs, serverless (Lambda/SAM), internal developer platforms (Backstage), MCP/LLM integrations.
