AWS DEVSECOPS AUTOMATION ENGINEER
Requirements and Responsibilities
5 years of technical experience in development, operations, or joint DevOps or DevSecOps responsibilities in AWS.
Embody the core values of sharing with team members and devising security solutions that help detection analysts defend the environment, and secure self-service for DevOps and Data Science teams.
AWS Professional Certification (e.g. AWS Certified DevOps Engineer - Professional or AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional).
Must be comfortable working solo
In-depth familiarity with complete suite of AWS Services, with particular depth in those that are heavily used when providing DevOps Automation solutions, including tools like CloudFormation, Code* Services, CloudTrail, lambda, CloudWatch, EC2, IAM, OpsWorks, Route 53, S3, RDS, SES, KMS, TGW, Organizations, and VPC.
Solid background in Software Development including object-oriented programming and test driven development.
Experience establishing and employing Continuous Integration practices and ex*****on platforms.
Frequent and comfortable use of configuration management automation tools in creating continuous delivery systems.
You are expected to be able to assess risks and plan solutions for AWS, and collaboratively work with other team members and take direction from the Cloud Security Architect to execute them to achieve successful risk mitigation and increased response capability in AWS.
You are expected to continually assess successful and not so successful security practices, and to collaboratively adapt team security practices that apply to AWS.
The most important requirement is character and attitude. Must have enthusiasm for technology and a high level of curiosity. People that require a lot of hand holding will fail on this assignment. We need people that can show interest in new things on their own, without being told.
We are seeking engineers who appreciate and have experience with security, development, as well as operations.
The candidate doesn’t need to be a security expert but obviously will need to learn security for this DevSecOps role, as this group is responsible for securing AWS. The primary goal is to update the existing AWS security deployment and usage creating AWS security systems for ATR detection analysts to be effective in responding to security events in AWS, also setting the expectations and building guardrails for the Data science teams using AWS. This position will interact frequently with one key DevOps team member who looks to ATR for Security guardrails, configurations, and guidelines in AWS.
Our engineers need to be ready to invest themselves in hands-on keyboard activity. They will be committing code to the likes of Git repos every day. We do not need hand waving architect-only types, though we like engineers who can both knock out code and be comfortable sharing large-scale and abstract concepts in a company presentation.
We want hardcore, full-stack-aware engineers who are not afraid to learn the wealth of tools we need to employ and who are comfortable with a constantly changing AWS landscape of tools and techniques as well of the ever-evolving threat landscape that drives attacks on the cloud. They absolutely need to be able to communicate in English both verbally and in writing. 100% of our communication is done remotely and requires super clear thought, enunciation, and articulation.
Other engineers on the team tend to work in teams of two, that being said, the circumstances for this position have resulted in this position operating in a solo manner.
We love Slack but unfortunately, we live in Microsoft Teams since Teams is the preferred platform at this client. Even though everyone is in different places, we have a team culture of open communication with-in our team, and sharing with each other, which helps to makes up for the geographic separation, time zones, and lack of everybody sitting in the same office.
Lastly, while the focus at this client is on Microsoft and Azure when cloud is mentioned, AWS is where work that impacts the bottom line takes place today.
