We are seeking a highly skilled Platform Engineer with a strong focus on security to design, implement, and manage secure, scalable, and resilient cloud infrastructure. The ideal candidate should have deep expertise in AWS, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform and Ansible, and strong working knowledge of Kubernetes. A solid understanding of cloud security platforms such as AWS Security hub, AWS GuardRails, Wiz, Chainguard, and Terraform Sentinel for policy-as-code is essential. This role combines platform engineering with security best practices to ensure cloud infrastructure remains robust and compliant. ### Roles and Responsibilities * Platform Engineering & Automation: Design, implement, and manage scalable and secure infrastructure platforms using Terraform, Ansible, and scripting in Python and Bash. Automate provisioning, monitoring, and scaling operations across cloud environments. * Cloud & Kubernetes Operations: Build and manage containerized workloads on Amazon EKS or other Kubernetes platforms. Ensure reliable deployment pipelines and automated rollouts/rollbacks, while maintaining secure container configurations. AWS Engineer - AWS + Security 1 * Security Tooling Integration: Integrate cloud security platforms like Wiz and Chainguard into the CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes ecosystem to detect, prevent, and remediate security risks across infrastructure and workloads. * Policy-as-Code & Compliance: Implement Terraform Sentinel policies to enforce security and compliance standards as part of the provisioning workflow. Develop automated controls for access, resource usage, and compliance checks. * Infrastructure & Cloud Security: Champion security best practices across the platform. Implement network security (VPC, subnets, NACLs, security groups), IAM policies, secrets management, image scanning, and runtime protection. * Monitoring & Observability: Set up and maintain observability tools and dashboards. Ensure systems have high availability, resilience, and meet SLA/SLO requirements, while proactively identifying and resolving anomalies. * Collaboration & Enablement: Partner with developers, security teams, and SREs to improve platform usability, enhance developer productivity, and promote secure-by-design architecture principles. ### Qualifications * Strong experience in building and managing AWS-based infrastructure with Terraform and Ansible. * Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes (preferably Amazon EKS). * Working knowledge of Wiz, Chainguard, and Terraform Sentinel. * Proficiency in Python and Bash for scripting and automation. * Strong understanding of cloud security principles, secure networking, and IAM. AWS Engineer - AWS + Security 2 * Experience with securing containerized workloads, including image hardening, runtime security, and vulnerability scanning. * Proven ability to design resilient, secure, and scalable infrastructure architectures. * Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Cybersecurity, or a related field. * Relevant certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Security – Specialty, CKA/CKS, HashiCorp Certified Terraform Associate). * Familiarity with DevSecOps practices, shift-left security, and secure SDLC. * Experience working in Agile and modern CI/CD development environments
