5h • $130,000 - $165,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

We’re seeking a hands-on Security Engineer with a DevOps mindset — someone who can think critically about how to secure large-scale digital platforms without compromising speed, usability, or customer experience.

This consultant will help build out a new security and compliance function at the edge of a major e-commerce environment. The team is fast-moving, collaborative, and focused on modernization — balancing strong security controls with a frictionless online experience.

Requirements

• 5+ years in security engineering, DevOps, or cloud infrastructure security roles
• Proven ability to design and implement security solutions for large-scale or customer-facing platforms
• Strong background in cloud environments (Azure, GCP, or similar)
• Hands-on experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform or comparable tools)
• Familiarity with CDN or WAF technologies (Fastly, Akamai, or similar)
• Strong understanding of web application and network security principles
• A collaborative mindset and strong communication skills — able to bridge gaps between development, architecture, and security teams

Nice To Haves

• Experience migrating or optimizing CDN/WAF environments, particularly with Fastly
• Background in automation, scripting, or observability (Python, Dynatrace, etc.)
• Exposure to risk assessment, fraud prevention, or compliance frameworks
• Prior experience in a DevSecOps or site reliability role
• A thoughtful, pragmatic approach to balancing security with business needs

Responsibilities

• Engineer and automate cloud and edge security solutions using modern tools like Terraform, Fastly, and Azure/GCP
• Strengthen, streamline, and monitor systems that support high-volume online platforms
• Evaluate and balance risk tolerance vs. performance and usability, helping define what the “right” blend looks like
• Lead efforts to modernize CDN and WAF technologies, including migration from legacy systems to Fastly
• Collaborate with Architecture, InfoSec, and Development teams to review designs, make recommendations, and implement secure, scalable infrastructure
• Apply strong engineering fundamentals to build automated, resilient, and secure systems — not just policies or audits
