About The Position

We are hiring a Senior DevSecOps Engineer with 8–10+ years of experience, deep multi-cloud expertise (AWS + Azure), strong Terraform and the ability to drive technical strategy across a regulated financial institution. This is a senior individual contributor role. You’ll set technical direction for DevSecOps, partner with the AVP of Corporate Information Security on strategy, mentor and grow the team, and personally own the hardest pieces of work. You’ll be a primary point of contact for engineering leadership, audit, and external regulators when DevSecOps topics come up.

Requirements

• 8–10+ years of experience
• Deep multi-cloud expertise (AWS + Azure)
• Strong Terraform skills
• Ability to drive technical strategy across a regulated financial institution

Nice To Haves

• Canadian regulated financial services experience (banking, trust company, credit union, fintech sponsor bank).
• Active certifications: CISSP, CCSP, OSCP/CPTS, AWS Security Specialty, Azure SC-100, AZ-500, AZ-400, CKS, HashiCorp Terraform Associate/Pro.
• Prior Security Centre of Excellence experience: stood one up, or served as the lead engineer inside one.
• Supply-chain security: Sigstore, in-toto, SLSA, SBOM (CycloneDX/SPDX), Dependency Track.
• Offensive security background: OSCP, real red-team/purple-team engagements, CTF placement.
• AI/LLM security experience: secure agent design, prompt-injection defenses, model supply-chain integrity.

Responsibilities

• Build and evolve the DevSecOps technical strategy across CI/CD, IaC, secure cloud architecture, detection, and compliance automation.
• Partner with the AVP of Corporate Information Security and the Team Lead, DevSecOps, on the security roadmap; translate risk decisions into engineering work.
• Collaborate on architecture decisions and ADRs for the DevSecOps platform. Champion paved roads and golden paths over one-off solutions.
• Lead vendor evaluations and POCs for security tooling. Make the build-vs-buy argument with the data to back it up.
• Develop and maintain a Security Centre of Excellence for all new products and substantial changes, ensuring security requirements are met before they reach production.
• Represent DevSecOps to engineering leadership, audit (internal and external), and regulators on technical questions.
• Personally architect and build the hardest pieces: the IaC pipeline that gates all production change, the cross-cloud detection fabric, the SBOM/supply-chain integrity program, the secrets management migration.
• Drive the AWS-to-Azure migration of applications as a senior security engineering owner: design target-state controls in Azure, run gap analysis against AWS, validate equivalence before workload cutover.
• Architect and review Terraform at scale: module strategy, state isolation, workspace patterns, drift detection, breaking-change management.
• Implement and operate policy-as-code across the SDLC: PR-time, pipeline-time, deploy-time, and runtime enforcement.
• Lead implementation of supply-chain security: signed builds (Sigstore/cosign), SBOM generation and storage, SLSA-aligned provenance, dependency pinning, runner isolation.
• Integrate, monitor, and tune SAST/DAST platforms across CI/CD pipelines.
• Build out Zero Trust patterns: workload identity federation, conditional access, just-in-time access and microsegmentation.
• Publish and disseminate CI/CD best practices, patterns, and solutions across product engineering teams.
• Own the threat-modeling program: set the methodology (STRIDE, LINDDUN, attack-tree, MITRE ATT&CK-mapped), train others on it, ensure outputs become real backlog items.
• Be an engineering owner of control evidence for SOC 2, PCI-DSS and applicable Canadian regulatory expectations.
• Automate audit evidence collection wherever feasible: replace screenshot-based evidence with API-pulled, signed, dated artifacts.
• Contribute to the cybersecurity risk register and risk treatment plans; partner with GRC and Operational Risk Management.
• Make the case to regulators and auditors that controls are designed effectively and operating effectively.
• Stay current on emerging threats and regulatory changes in cloud security, AI, and automation; apply innovative solutions to enhance the security framework.
• Mentor Intermediate and Junior DevSecOps engineers: set development goals, do code reviews that teach, sponsor stretch projects.
• Build the team's documentation and onboarding so it scales with hires.
• Contribute to a healthy on-call culture: sustainable rotations, blameless retros, runbook quality.

Benefits

• Competitive salaries
• Profit sharing
• RRSP matching
• Benefits from day one
