Successful candidates who apply outside of these areas will be expected to relocate and reside in a location that is within a commutable distance. We’re 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. Technical leadership and strategy (~30%) 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. Make the build-vs-buy argument with the data to back it up.

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. Publish and disseminate CI/CD best practices, patterns, and solutions across product engineering teams. Compliance, audit, and risk (~20%) 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.

Stay current on emerging threats and regulatory changes in cloud security, AI,



and automation; Mentor Intermediate and Junior DevSecOps engineers: set development goals, do code reviews that teach, sponsor stretch projects. Contribute to a healthy on-call culture: sustainable rotations, blameless retros, runbook quality. Canadian regulated financial services experience (banking, trust company, credit union, fintech sponsor bank).

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.

AI/LLM security experience: secure agent design, prompt-injection defenses, model supply-chain integrity.
