The role in plain terms

The listing's automation-first framing - automating proactive security rather than running manual processes - defines the senior bar: you build the systems that detect and respond, not just operate them. The SRE-plus-security combination means both reliability instincts and security depth get tested. At 8+ years with 5+ hands-on senior, this is a deep IC seat.

The team and the work

Per the listing, the scope covers secure infrastructure at scale plus the detection/response/vulnerability pipeline - the full DevSecOps loop rather than one slice of it.

What the employer asks for

These requirements are quoted from the employer's listing, kept in their exact words so eligibility details are not distorted:

8+ years of progressive experience in technology, with at least 5 years in a hands-on senior role such as Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or Security...
A BS or MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience.
Expert-level proficiency in at least one major cloud provider, preferably AWS, with deep knowledge of core infrastructure and security services.
Expert-level proficiency with Infrastructure as Code, particularly Terraform.
Expert-level proficiency in a scripting or programming language such as Python, Go, or Ruby, with a proven history of building automation and custom tooling.
Deep experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (Kubernetes), including securing containerized environments.
Proficiency with the modern security operations toolchain, including SIEM, EDR, and vulnerability scanning technologies.
Experience integrating security tools (SAST, DAST, SCA) into CI/CD pipelines.

Who this role suits

Senior SRE or platform engineers with 8+ years who have moved toward security automation, or security engineers with strong infrastructure credentials. Not for security analysts without infrastructure engineering depth.

Practical notes

For DevSecOps roles, expect infrastructure design questions with security constraints, plus a scenario on automating an incident response or vulnerability workflow. Concrete tooling you built beats tool-name familiarity.
