Apply Now, We're - Hiring DevSecOps - Platform Engineer (SonarQube / Vault) - Senior/Lead - Remote (Anywhere in the world)

Are you an experienced DevSecOps Platform Engineer who's built secure, production-grade systems using Kubernetes, OpenShift, SonarQube / Vault?

Have you been tirelessly searching for roles that let you build, deploy, and automate infrastructure on-premises—where cybersecurity isn't an afterthought but a core design principle?

Let me save you some time. This opportunity is tailored for someone exactly like you.

Most DevSecOps roles today are cloud-native and miss the mark when it comes to on-prem infrastructure complexities. You want a role where your deep understanding of OpenShift, Kubernetes, SonarQube, Vault, and CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins is put to real use—not just cloud experimentation.

You’ve applied to generic DevOps jobs, but they lack the depth of on-prem expertise you bring. They talk about security, but rarely implement secure pipelines with SonarQube or use tools like Vault properly.

We’re hiring for a remote DevSecOps - Platform Engineer SonarQube / Vault role, where your hands-on experience with Kubernetes Operators, Terraform, Jenkins, and cybersecurity tooling will directly shape secure, production-grade systems for a global enterprise. You’ll lead and implement everything from IaC to alerting using Prometheus and Grafana.
