Senior DevSecOps & Cloud Security Engineer

Paralucent is seeking a Senior DevSecOps & Cloud Security Engineer to build secure delivery pipelines and operational controls for a regulated enterprise platform. You will embed security, reliability and evidence into infrastructure, CI/CD, identity, observability, vulnerability management, backup, recovery and production readiness. You will work closely with architects, developers, QA and enterprise control teams. What You'll Do Design and implement infrastructure-as-code, environment provisioning and secure CI/CD pipelines. Embed code, dependency, container, infrastructure and secrets scanning into delivery workflows. Implement identity and access controls, service identities, least privilege, segregation of duties and privileged-access safeguards. Configure secure networking, encryption, key/secrets management, logging, monitoring, alerting and audit evidence. Define vulnerability-management, patching, remediation and penetration-testing support processes. Implement backup, restore, resilience, disaster-recovery and recovery-test automation aligned to approved RTO/RPO objectives. Support privacy/data-residency controls, records retention, data lifecycle and secure destruction. Create operational dashboards, SLOs/alerts, incident runbooks and production-readiness evidence. Partner with enterprise cyber, privacy, architecture, risk and audit stakeholders. Support release, cutover, hypercare, incident response and root-cause analysis. What Success Looks Like Environments are reproducible, secure and consistently deployed through automation. Security checks operate early in CI/CD and material findings are resolved before production. Access, secrets and audit evidence meet approved control requirements. Monitoring detects meaningful failures and runbooks support rapid diagnosis and recovery. Backup and disaster-recovery capabilities are tested and evidenced, not merely documented. 7+ years in DevOps, platform engineering, cloud security or site reliability engineering. Strong AWS and/or Azure experience, including infrastructure-as-code, networking, IAM, logging, monitoring and security services. Hands-on CI/CD experience with automated testing and security gates. Experience supporting sensitive workloads in banking/financial services preferred; regulated-industry experience accepted. Working knowledge of vulnerability management, secure SDLC, incident response, penetration testing, backup and DR. Experience with containers/serverless and modern observability practices. Ability to produce audit-ready evidence and work effectively with enterprise control functions. Preferred Experience Cloud security or DevOps certification. Experience with SOC 2-aligned controls, NIST/ISO frameworks or financial-institution security reviews. Experience securing AI/model services, RPA workers and enterprise integrations. Experience with privacy, retention and Canadian data-residency considerations. Role Scorecard: Illustrative Measures Final targets and cadence will be confirmed for the specific assignment. Typical measures include: Pipeline deployment success and lead time Security finding age and closure Infrastructure drift and configuration compliance Availability/incident and recovery trends Backup/DR test success Monitoring coverage and alert quality Production-readiness evidence completeness How You Demonstrate Our Core Values Driven: Moves important work forward, recovers quickly from blockers and focuses on meaningful outcomes. Takes Ownership: Closes loops, communicates risks early and remains accountable across handoffs. Creative Problem Solver: Clarifies the real problem and proposes practical options with trade-offs.
