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 DoDesign 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.
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.
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.
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
Driven: Moves important work forward, recovers quickly from blockers and focuses on meaningful outcomes.
