About the RoleBluestaq is seeking a Senior DevSecOps Engineer to build, secure, and operate the delivery pipelines and infrastructure that move software from development to production in mission-critical environments. In this hands-on individual contributor role, you will support multiple services and environments within a program or major product area, acting as a go-to resource for pipeline and deployment questions for your teams.

You will own medium-sized initiatives end to end, such as containerizing an application, adding security scanning to a pipeline, or migrating a service to GitOps, and will proactively harden the systems in your area. You will design and maintain moderately complex pipelines, manage Kubernetes-based infrastructure, and participate in incident response and root-cause analysis when pipelines, deployments, or clusters break.
