The Planet Group has partnered with a Denver are company to locate a Senior DevSecOps Engineer to help design and secure a modern cloud environment supporting connected IoT technologies and mission-critical data.

- Develop Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred) that follows security best practices by default
- Secure APIs, cloud services, and data pipelines supporting connected IoT solutions
- Implement encryption, identity management, secrets management, and secure authentication mechanisms
- Perform threat modeling, vulnerability assessments, and security reviews across cloud environments
- Strengthen container and Kubernetes security while improving developer workflows
- Partner with engineering teams to champion a "Shift Left" DevSecOps culture
- Support security compliance initiatives, including ISO 27001 and cloud security best practices
- 5+ years of hands-on experience securing cloud infrastructure
- Strong experience with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud security services
- Experience integrating security into CI/CD pipelines
- Hands-on experience with SAST, DAST, container security, and vulnerability management
- Strong knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform strongly preferred)
- Experience implementing encryption, IAM, authentication, and secure networking
- Familiarity with cloud security frameworks and compliance standards such as ISO 27001
- Ability to collaborate across engineering, DevOps, and security teams
- CISSP, CCSP, GCSA, or cloud security certifications
