DevSecOps Engineer - Permanent - 19668

About The Opportunity

A well-reputed, Ottawa-based software company is looking to add a DevSecOps Engineer to own the deployment, resilience, and security architecture of their core product suite. In this role, you will bridge modern cloud platform engineering with practical SecOps - streamlining delivery workflows, safeguarding production environments, and embedding automated security directly into their development lifecycle.

This is a high-visibility, hands-on role in a small but mighty team. You will have substantial autonomy to modernize their platform practices and scale our systems. Moreover, this company employs a hybrid work model involving three days/week in their Kanata office, so only candidates local to the Ottawa/NCR will be considered.

Duties include but are not limited to:

• Deployment & Delivery Automation: Design and manage scalable delivery pipelines and Infrastructure as Code to ensure frictionless, consistent deployments across multiple hosting environments
• Platform & Cloud Security: Harden cloud environments (AWS and Azure) and infrastructure services, enforcing zero-trust access controls, network safeguards, and secure secret handling
• Modern Quality & Security Gates: Build automated guardrails into delivery pipelines - spanning security analysis, automated test suites, and controls for modern AI-assisted engineering workflows
• Vulnerability & Compliance Operations: Direct end-to-end vulnerability management across platforms and supply chains, generating the evidence required for industry compliance standards and security reviews
• Observability & Operational Resilience: Drive end-to-end system telemetry, participate in shared on-call incident response, and lead post-incident analyses to continuously elevate platform uptime and delivery velocity
  
  

Key Requirements:

• Domain Experience: 5+ years of hands-on platform, DevOps, SysOps, SecOps, or site reliability engineering experience supporting production software
• Cloud & Automation Stack: Deep proficiency with major cloud platforms (AWS and Azure preferred), CI/CD automation (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.) container ecosystems and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and Infrastructure as Code tooling (Terraform, Ansible, Helm, etc.)
• Security Foundations: Solid background in cloud security principles, network defense (segmentation, perimeter controls, encryption), and automated vulnerability lifecycle management
• Operations & Telemetry: Practical experience with distributed observability, alerting frameworks, on-call incident response, and blameless post-mortems
• Scripting & Standards: Fluency in standard automation scripting (e.g., Python, Bash) and working exposure to enterprise security/compliance frameworks
