About the role
- As the Staff DevSecOps Engineer, you will be the technical owner of how security is built into Trase's software development lifecycle and cloud operations.
- Trase ships mission-critical agentic applications into Healthcare, Oil & Gas, and National Security at the pace of a startup, under the scrutiny of a defense contractor.
- Our engineering velocity and the speed at which we deploy highly-regulated workloads is one of our core advantages.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and operate the shift-left security toolchain across Trase's CI/CD pipelines, which include but are not limited to SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning, container image scanning, and IaC scanning.
- partner with engineering teams to keep developer experience high and friction low.
- Design and deploy Trase's production cloud security architecture, with a primary focus on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and a clear path to multi-cloud as the business requires.
- Implement foundational controls including network segmentation, workload identity, secrets management, encryption (in transit and at rest), and least-privilege IAM using both cloud-native services and third-party applications or platforms.
- Build, codify, and maintain the secure-by-default infrastructure modules in Terraform, consumed by every Trase engineer.
- Drive secure baselines for Kubernetes, container runtimes, and serverless workloads.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in security engineering, DevSecOps, cloud security, or platform security roles, including significant time as a senior individual contributor.
- Deep, hands-on experience securing modern CI/CD pipelines, including production deployment of SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets, container, and IaC scanning.
- Strong cloud security expertise, with primary depth in Google Cloud Platform-or proven multi-cloud expertise and the ability to operate authoritatively in GCP.
- Practical experience operating in environments governed by SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001, with a clear understanding of how engineering controls map to framework requirements.
- track record of making security the path of least resistance rather than a bottleneck.
Nice to have
- Hands-on experience implementing security architectures or controls for FedRAMP (Moderate or High), DoD RMF, HITRUST, or other heavily regulated frameworks.
- Active US security clearance (Secret, TS, or TS/SCI).
- Deep Kubernetes and container security expertise (admission control, runtime security, software supply chain security).
- Experience securing AI/ML workloads, including model supply chain integrity, prompt injection defenses, and agent execution sandboxing.
- Industry certifications such as Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer, AWS Security Specialty, OSCP, GIAC (GCSA, GCIH, GCIA), or CKS.
- Open source contributions to security tooling, detection content, or IaC modules.
Skills
- Cloud Security Architecture
