Job Description
Amplitude is seeking a Senior DevSecOps Engineer to lead security initiatives across infrastructure and product engineering. The ideal candidate will bring a DevSecOps mindset to building automation and secure, scalable systems. This role involves collaborating with engineering teams and working across cloud security, container security, application security, and developer tooling. The Senior DevSecOps Engineer will participate in a shared on-call rotation to address high-risk security issues and incidents. Success in this role is measured by driving meaningful improvements in Amplitude's security posture without hindering development speed.
Role involves:
- Harden AWS and Kubernetes environments through automation, policy-as-code, and guardrails.
- Own and evolve our DevSecOps strategy across infrastructure and application pipelines.
- Drive end-to-end secure development practices: integrate security into CI/CD, build pre-commit hooks, and improve developer productivity without sacrificing security.
- Create and implement lightweight, scalable security controls that support fast-moving teams.
- Partner with engineering to identify and mitigate risks in architecture, design, and implementation stages.
- Participate in an on-call rotation to resolve critical/high-risk security issues as well as respond to security incidents with urgency and clarity.
- Identify opportunities to fix systemic gaps, reduce recurring pain points, and avoid reactive “whack-a-mole” cycles.
Requirements:
- 4+ years of experience in security engineering with a strong focus on DevSecOps and secure cloud infrastructure on AWS.
- Hands-on expertise with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation) for AWS, as well as the Kubernetes ecosystem of tools.
- Strong coding/scripting skills in Python, Bash, or equivalent languages for automating security tasks.
- Experience with CI/CD platforms and integrating security controls early in the pipeline.
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity, driving clarity, and leading through execution in fast-paced environments.
- Willingness to go above and beyond, including submitting fixes and supporting teams directly when needed.
- Experience using AI to automate security tasks is a significant plus (e.g. log analysis, code review, alert triage).
- Familiarity with application security concepts is preferred, but not required.
Role offers:
- Equity
- Benefits
