About

the Team & Role We are building an enterprise-grade, Everything-as-Code (EaC) Operating Platform that replaces manual IT operations with an automated, zero-trust software factory. As a DevSecOps Platform Engineer, you will be a core builder of our security, networking, and platform control planes. Operating in an environment where all infrastructure, access policies, and network routing exist strictly as version-controlled text artifacts inside Git repositories, you will architect our multi-cloud Kubernetes foundations (AWS EKS / Azure AKS), enforce keyless workload identity, build zero-trust service mesh perimeters, and write active Policy-as-Code (OPA/Rego) pipelines. As a DevSecOps Platform Engineer, you will: Two-Tier IaC Platform Primitives: Design, provision, and maintain modular Terraform primitives and GitOps patterns for multi-cloud Kubernetes clusters (EKS/AKS), software-defined networks, and pod identity layers. Service Mesh & Edge Control Planes: Operate Istio/Envoy service mesh topologies across multi-gateway perimeters (Public Ingress, B2B Ingress, Egress). Active Policy-as-Code Gating: Author and maintain Open Policy Agent (OPA / Rego) policies to enforce pre-flight deployment checks, Commit-as-Code format verification, and dynamic Just-in-Time (JIT) time-bound access escalation gates. Out-of-Band Telemetry Exhaust: Configure OpenTelemetry (OTel) collectors and Envoy sidecar proxies to emit uniform out-of-band JSON telemetry logs, stamping W3C traceparent headers and system primary keys (UPID, USID, correlation_id, process_id) across all network hops. GitOps Scaffolding & Linter Governance: Manage localized pull-based continuous delivery engines (ArgoCD) and construct automated structural linters to enforce the 10-Pillar Application Spoke Repository Standard across all engineering teams. We are excited if you have (Required Experience): Kubernetes & Container Security: 5+ years of deep experience operating production Kubernetes (Amazon EKS, Azure AKS) and container security frameworks. Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field or equivalent experience. Service Mesh & API Gateways: Advanced hands-on experience configuring Istio / Envoy service meshes, mTLS, custom ingress/egress routing, and edge API gateways. Policy-as-Code (Rego/OPA): Practical expertise writing custom Open Policy Agent (OPA) rules in Rego for pipeline gating, admission controllers, or access governance. Infrastructure-as-Code & GitOps: High proficiency with Terraform (modular structure design) and pull-based GitOps delivery tools (ArgoCD or Flux). Keyless Identity & Secrets Management: Hands-on experience with OIDC identity federation, HashiCorp Vault, and short-lived secret workflows. Distributed Observability: Strong understanding of OpenTelemetry (OTel) instrumentation, W3C trace context propagation, and log aggregation pipelines. You may also have: Familiarity with CI/CD linter construction for regular expression validation (Commit-as-Code). Background working within Hub-and-Spoke repository models and developer portal integrations. What you can expect from us: Generous PTO Policy Support work life balance with Unplugged Days Flexible WFH Policy Mental & Physical Wellness programs Phone and Internet Reimbursement program Access to Continued Career Development Comprehensive
