Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Synapticure is a specialty care and life sciences company focused on neurodegenerative diseases. The Senior DevOps & Security Engineer will build, operate, secure, automate, and improve cloud infrastructure and software delivery environments, with a focus on AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, compliance, vulnerability management, observability, and production reliability.
Responsibilities
- Translate security and compliance requirements into practical technical controls and directly support HIPAA, SOC 2, and related activities
- Build, maintain, secure, and improve AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes/EKS environments, identity and access controls (IAM), networking, databases, storage, logging, monitoring, and SIEM integrations
- Develop and maintain Terraform, secure CI/CD pipelines, deployment tooling, and related automation
- Manage vulnerability scanning, security telemetry, incident response support, and application/infrastructure hardening
- Partner with Engineering, Data, and other internal teams to automate workflows, connect systems, and reduce manual work
- Build scripts, integrations, internal tools, and API-based automations across technical and business systems
- Maintain clear technical documentation, architecture diagrams, and infrastructure security standards
- Research and evaluate new tools, security practices, and infrastructure approaches to determine how they can be applied effectively in our environment
- Participate in on-call or escalation coverage as operational needs evolve. Our production environment is generally stable and relatively low-traffic, so after-hours work tends to focus more on planned maintenance, upgrades, and proactive security improvements than on responding to outages
