🎯 The Role

We are looking for a hands-on DevSecOps Engineer to strengthen the security of Honeycomb's cloud-native environment, working closely with our Security, Engineering, DevOps, and AI teams. The role centers on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Kubernetes, vulnerability management, container and CI/CD security, cloud security posture, and AI security. You will identify and remediate security risks across our infrastructure, applications, pipelines, and AI environments, while building automation and controls that let our teams move quickly and securely.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Identify, prioritize, and drive remediation of security vulnerabilities (CVEs) across container images, application dependencies, Kubernetes workloads, and GCP infrastructure, in partnership with Engineering, DevOps, and AI teams.
• Secure our GCP and Kubernetes environments: IAM, networking, logging, cluster and workload hardening, RBAC, secrets, and network policies.
• Own container security practices, including image scanning, base image management, secrets management, and runtime security.
• Operate SAST, SCA, and CSPM tools to surface code, dependency, and cloud misconfiguration risks, and help teams remediate findings.
• Partner with the AI team to secure AI applications, models, agents, APIs, and development environments, including access controls, data protection, and monitoring of both internal and third-party AI tools.
• Implement automated security gates and policy enforcement throughout CI/CD pipelines and the SDLC, without slowing development.
• Establish and improve vulnerability management processes: risk-based prioritization, remediation SLAs, exception management, and reporting.
• Automate security and operational tasks with Bash, Python, or similar.
• Support security monitoring and incident response across cloud infrastructure, applications, and AI workloads.
• Promote DevSecOps best practices and help build a security-first engineering culture.

📌 Required Qualifications

• Proven experience as a DevSecOps Engineer, or DevOps Engineer with a strong security focus.
• Hands-on experience with GCP security and running Kubernetes in production.
• Hands-on experience managing CVEs, vulnerability remediation, patching, and risk-based prioritization.
• Strong Linux skills, including hardening, troubleshooting, networking, and logs.
• Experience with container security and CI/CD security, including integrating scanning and controls into pipelines.
• Experience with SAST/SCA tools (e.g., Semgrep, Snyk, SonarQube) and CSPM platforms (e.g., Wiz, Prisma Cloud, CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security).
• Solid scripting in Bash and/or Python.
• Ability to work hands-on with engineering and AI/ML teams to investigate and remediate security issues.
• Fluent English, written and verbal.

⭐ Desirable Experience

• Experience securing GKE at scale, including Google Cloud IAM, Workload Identity, and VPC networking.
• Infrastructure as Code and GitOps tools such as Terraform, Helm, or ArgoCD.
• Software supply-chain security (SBOM, dependency management) and Kubernetes policy tools (admission controllers, Pod Security Standards, policy-as-code).
• Familiarity with CIS Benchmarks, OWASP, NIST, or ISO 27001.
• Experience with SIEM, cloud detection, and incident response.
• Background in fintech, insurance, or other regulated environments.
