DevSecOps

Join Lepaya!
At Lepaya, we believe that people are every organisation's greatest asset. Our mission is to help professionals develop the skills they need to thrive, and technology enables us to deliver that learning experience to thousands of learners around the world.

As a Dev Sec Ops  Engineer, you'll work closely with Yusuf, our Senior Dev Ops Engineer, and help build and secure the cloud platform that makes this possible. You'll ensure our products are secure, reliable, and scalable, while giving our Tech and Product teams the tools they need to deliver new features quickly and confidently.

You'll sit at the intersection of Dev Ops, Security, and IT. Working closely with our Security Engineer, IT Manager, Software Engineers, and Product teams, you'll turn security policies into automated guardrails, built into the same pipelines, infrastructure modules, and developer experience that power our learning platform. For us, security isn't a gate at the end of the process; it's a feature of the platform itself.

Full-time

Permanent employee

We are not able to provide relocation support for this role. We are only hiring for candidates who are able to work in the Netherlands.

What you’ll do

Building and improving our AWS infrastructure using Terraform, with security designed in from the start: least-privilege IAM, encryption, and network controls as defaults, not afterthoughts.

Embedding security into our CI/CD pipeline: dependency, container, and secrets scanning in every pipeline, and making the results actionable for engineers instead of noisy.

Introducing policy-as-code (e.g. Checkov, OPA) so infrastructure misconfigurations are caught before they're merged, not after they're deployed.

Developing secure-by-default infrastructure modules that enable engineering teams to launch new, secure services with ease.

Strengthening our cloud security posture across a multi-account AWS organization: identity management, threat detection, and vulnerability management as an ongoing program.

Automating compliance: working with our Security Engineer and IT Manager to turn security controls into automatically collected, audit-ready evidence, and supporting security audits.

Improving monitoring and observability using Grafana Cloud and Open Telemetry, including security signals and alerting.

Finding opportunities to automate repetitive processes and continuously improve the developer experience.

This role offers plenty of ownership while giving you the opportunity to learn, grow, and help shape the platform that powers Lepaya's mission to transform workplace learning.

What you’ll bring

Minimum 4 years of experience in a Dev Ops, Platform, Cloud, or Security Engineering role in a fast-paced start-up or scale-up environment.

Hands-on experience working with AWS and Terraform.

Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines using Git Hub Actions or similar tools.

Experience working with Docker and cloud native orchestration services.

A solid understanding of cloud security fundamentals such as IAM, hardening, encryption, network security, and secrets management

Hands-on experience with at least one area of security automation - vulnerability scanning, code security analysis (SAST/SCA), policy-as-code, or cloud security posture management - and the appetite to grow into the rest.

Scripting skills in Bash or Python.

Experience with Type Script is a plus.

Strong English communication skills.

Nice to have

Experience with tech compliance (ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR).

Exposure to DAST tooling (e.g. OWASP ZAP) or offensive security basics.

Experience with software supply chain security.

Exposure to GCP alongside AWS.
