We are hiring for this position out of our Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary offices. Successful candidates who apply outside of these areas will be expected to relocate and reside in a location that is within a commutable distance.
AboutThe Role
We’re hiring a Senior Dev Sec Ops 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 Dev Sec Ops , partner with the AVP of Corporate Information Security on strategy, mentor and grow the team, and personally own the hardest pieces of work.
You’ll be a primary point of contact for engineering leadership, audit, and external regulators when Dev Sec Ops topics come up.
- Build and evolve the Dev Sec Ops 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, Dev Sec Ops , on the security roadmap; translate risk decisions into engineering work.
- Collaborate on architecture decisions and ADRs for the Dev Sec Ops platform. Champion paved roads and golden paths over one‑off solutions.
- Lead vendor evaluations and POCs for security tooling. Make the build‑vs‑buy argument with the data to back it up.
- Develop and maintain a Security Centre of Excellence for all new products and substantial changes, ensuring security requirements are met before they reach production.
- Represent Dev Sec Ops 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.
- Build out Zero Trust patterns: workload identity federation, conditional access, just‑in‑time access and microsegmentation.
- Publish and disseminate CI/CD best practices, patterns, and solutions across product engineering teams.
- Own the threat‑modeling program: set the methodology (STRIDE, LINDDUN, attack‑tree, MITRE ATT&CK‑mapped), train others on it, and 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.
- Make the case to regulators and auditors that controls are designed effectively and operating effectively.
- Stay current on emerging threats and regulatory changes in cloud security, AI, and automation; apply innovative solutions to enhance the security framework.
- Mentor Intermediate and Junior Dev Sec Ops engineers: set development goals, do code reviews that teach, sponsor stretch projects.
- Build the team's documentation and onboarding so it scales with hires.
- Contribute to a healthy on‑call culture: sustainable rotations, blameless retros, runbook quality.
- Canadian regulated financial services experience (banking, trust company, credit union,…
