Senior SecOps Engineer

(100% Remote - Canada)

ABOUT THE TEAM

The DevSecOps team owns the security, reliability, and governance of our cloud platform. We design and operate secure, scalable Cloud infrastructure, implement and champion SRE best practices, and ensure the platform is resilient, cost-efficient, and compliant. The DevSecOps team partners with other engineering teams to embed security and reliability into every stage of the software lifecycle—providing the tools, automation, and guardrails that empower teams to build and operate services with confidence.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Senior SecOps Engineer, you will be a foundational pillar of our DevSecOps practice and team at Procurify. Customer trust is our most important asset, and this role is at the heart of upholding that commitment. You will be a hands-on expert responsible for building and scaling the security discipline within the DevSecOps team, and for creating a security-first culture across our engineering organization

WHAT YOU’LL BE WORKING ON

  • Build & Automate Security Guardrails: Design, build, and implement automated security controls directly within our CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure. You will use an automated, repeatable approach to make security a seamless, default part of our development process.

  • Own Threat Detection & Response: Implement and manage our security information and event management (SIEM) systems. You'll develop strategies for threat detection, lead security incident response efforts, and conduct security incident reviews to continuously harden our defenses.

  • Champion Application & Cloud Security: Act as the lead security consultant for our engineering teams. You'll conduct security architecture reviews, perform threat modeling assessments, and provide expert guidance on securing our cloud-native applications, AI-powered workloads, and Kubernetes environment on AWS.

  • Drive Compliance & Governance: Take a leading role in maintaining and maturing our compliance posture (e.g. SOC 2, PCI DSS, GDPR). You will translate compliance requirements into actionable, automated engineering tasks.

  • Lead Security Awareness: Educate and empower your engineering colleagues by sharing your expertise on security best practices (e.g. OWASP Top 10), running security-focused initiatives, and being the go-to person for all things security.

  • Support your team: Participate in an on-call rotation

  • Our Tech Stack:

    • Cloud: AWS

    • Security Tools: AWS WAF, GuardDuty, SonarCloud

    • Infrastructure as Code: Terraform

    • CI/CD & Automation: CircleCI, Python, Bash

    • Containers & Orchestration: Kubernetes, Docker, ArgoCD

    • Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Kibana, New Relic

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

  • Proven Security Experience: 4+ years of hands-on experience in a Security Operations or DevSecOps role, preferably within a SaaS or cloud-native environment.

  • Cloud & Container Security: Deep expertise in securing public cloud environments, particularly AWS. You have hands-on experience with container security and securing workloads in Kubernetes.

  • Security as Code & Automation: A strong belief in automating everything. You have experience integrating SCA, SAST and DAST tools into software development workflows. You are familiar with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and have experience working with at least one higher level language such as Python, Ruby or Go (Python preferred).

  • Securing AI Integrated Systems: Familiarity with the attack vectors and security concerns associated with Agentic AI workflows and other AI product integrations.

  • Compliance Expertise: Practical experience working with and implementing controls for compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or PCI DSS.

  • A Builder's Mentality: You are passionate about building and scaling security programs, not just operating them. You thrive on the opportunity to create new systems, automate processes, and have a high degree of ownership.

  • Empathetic & Accountable: A collaborative, "low-ego" partner to development teams. You lead with empathy, believe that your team's success is your success, and take initiative in an autonomous environment.

  • Exceptional Communicator: You excel at explaining complex security concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences, fostering a shared sense of responsibility for security across the company.
