Here at Pleo, our customer base is growing with Sonic.gif speed! This is amazing yet the larger we become, the bigger the temptation for the less lawful sides of society. As a FinTech, we directly handle money for our customers and see the most incidents across all industries. We’re not only about protecting users from password leaks where malicious actors post cat videos to your SoMe account this is about protecting our customers' money and data. This is where you come in!
The DevSecOps role focuses on the pipeline and infrastructure side of security. We strive to shift left work on hardening our application and ensuring we build golden paths. We're looking for someone to be part of owning this specialization and bring opinionated insight.
To give you a better idea, here are some tasks you might do as a DevSecOps Engineer at Pleo.
Help our engineering teams build secure solutions by automating guardrails within and before our pipeline. You’ll put in place Infrastructure as Code Security Policies. Auto-remediation to issues and only when required to help developers on remediation;
- Deep dive into various security subjects related to hardening our Kubernetes & AWS infrastructure at Pleo. Then design, implement and give your recommendation on actions;
- Working with our Platform team to create automated continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) around security checks;
- Be a core contributor in projects related to security automation.
To make it clear, we're not building a security team to take over all security-related tasks. We're building a team of specialists that support other teams through platform building, investigations, and coaching.
There will be a lot of flexibility in this role depending on your interests and skills, but as a Senior role you will:
- Help plan, rank, and manage our pipeline security roadmap.
- Lead the planning and executing projects related to our security objectives.
- Balance controls against our data classifications while providing tactful friction to meet the needs of the company.
We don’t expect a perfect match in technology and skills. What's important, is that you have a passion for the field, you are willing to expand your knowledge, and that you enjoy the responsibilities that come along with the role.
If this philosophy resonates with you, we'd love to meet you, so click apply!
