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

Ever felt stuck applying to generic “DevOps” roles that omit key parts like on-prem security, Atlassian suite expertise, or DevSecOps automation? Frustrating, right? I get it—and you’re not alone.

Setting up OpenShift + Kubernetes for enterprise Atlassian deployments can be daunting especially with tight security, compliance, and on-prem requirements.

That’s why I’m sharing a role that’s built exactly for your niche skill set, where you can shine using Terraform, Ansible, Prometheus, SonarQube, and more all in a fully remote, global-timezone team.

Why This Role Stands Out (For Startups & MNC‑Level Talent)

I’ve seen too many roles call themselves “DevOps” but dismiss on-prem, security, and Atlassian aspects. That’s a big mismatch with what talented DevSecOps engineers search for, like:

• “DevSecOps Engineer OpenShift on‑premises”

• “Atlassian DevSecOps Kubernetes role”

• “Terraform Ansible Atlassian on premise”

With me, you won’t waste time. This position is laser-focused on those exact requirements—no guesswork.
