Paralucent is seeking a Senior DevSecOps & Cloud Security Engineer to build secure delivery pipelines and operational controls for a regulated enterprise platform. You will embed security, reliability and evidence into infrastructure, CI/CD, identity, observability, vulnerability management, backup, recovery and production readiness.

You will work closely with architects, developers, QA and enterprise control teams.

What You'll Do

- Design and implement infrastructure-as-code, environment provisioning and secure CI/CD pipelines.
- Embed code, dependency, container, infrastructure and secrets scanning into delivery workflows.
- Implement identity and access controls, service identities, least privilege, segregation of duties and privileged-access safeguards.
- Configure secure networking, encryption, key/secrets management, logging, monitoring, alerting and audit evidence.
- Define vulnerability-management, patching, remediation and penetration-testing support processes.
- Implement backup, restore, resilience, disaster-recovery and recovery-test automation aligned to approved RTO/RPO objectives.
- Support privacy/data-residency controls, records retention, data lifecycle and secure destruction.
- Create operational dashboards, SLOs/alerts, incident runbooks and production-readiness evidence.
- Partner with enterprise cyber, privacy, architecture, risk and audit stakeholders.
- Support release, cutover, hypercare, incident response and root-cause analysis.

What Success Looks Like

- Environments are reproducible, secure and consistently deployed through automation.
- Security checks operate early in CI/CD and material findings are resolved before production.
- Access, secrets and audit evidence meet approved control requirements.
- Monitoring detects meaningful failures and runbooks support rapid diagnosis and recovery.
- Backup and disaster-recovery capabilities are tested and evidenced, not merely documented.
- 7+ years in DevOps, platform engineering,



cloud security or site reliability engineering.
- Strong AWS and/or Azure experience, including infrastructure-as-code, networking, IAM, logging, monitoring and security services.
- Hands-on CI/CD experience with automated testing and security gates.
- Experience supporting sensitive workloads in banking/financial services preferred; regulated-industry experience accepted.
- Working knowledge of vulnerability management, secure SDLC, incident response, penetration testing, backup and DR.
- Experience with containers/serverless and contemporary observability practices.
- Ability to produce audit-ready evidence and work effectively with enterprise control functions.

Preferred Experience

- Cloud security or DevOps certification.
- Experience with SOC 2-aligned controls, NIST/ISO frameworks or financial-institution security reviews.
- Experience securing AI/model services, RPA workers and enterprise integrations.
- Experience with privacy, retention and Canadian data-residency considerations.

Role Scorecard: Illustrative Measures

Final targets and cadence will be confirmed for the specific assignment. Typical measures include:

- Pipeline deployment success and lead time
- Security finding age and closure
- Infrastructure drift and configuration compliance
- Availability/incident and recovery trends
- Backup/DR test success
- Monitoring coverage and alert quality
- Production-readiness evidence completeness

How You Demonstrate Our Core Values

Driven: Moves important work forward, recovers quickly from blockers and focuses on meaningful outcomes. Takes Ownership: Closes loops, communicates risks early and remains accountable across handoffs.

Creative Problem Solver: Clarifies the real problem and proposes practical options with trade-offs.

Humbly Confident: Brings sound judgment, explains reasoning and actively invites challenge and feedback.

Customer Centric: Understands operational reality, success measures and the impact of decisions on users and the institution.
