Why we need you
Mandolins usage is climbing quickly and were preparing for a broad public launch. The platform must deliver enterprise-grade reliability, airtight security, and effortless developer productivity while processing sensitive healthcare data. Were looking for a DevSecOps leader who can build and operate a rock-solid cloud foundation then codify the best-practice guardrails that every engineer will rely on as we scale.
What youll do
- Design & own cloud infrastructure on GCP. Establish autoscaling policies, HA networking, and cost-efficient environments across staging and prod.
- Implement comprehensive security controls. Centralize secrets management and rotation, define zero-trust IAM policies, and integrate continuous vulnerability scanning into CI/CD.
- Stand up first-class observability. Deploy and maintain metrics, tracing, and log pipelines (Prometheus, Grafana, Cloud Logging, etc.), plus actionable SLOs and alerting.
- Streamline developer experience. Provide dev-containers, local-env scripts, and clear runbooks that let new engineers ship safely on day one.
- Embed security into the SDLC. Own IaC (Pulumi), automated compliance checks, and incident-response playbooks.
- Collaborate across teams. Review architectural changes for security impact and partner with backend teams on scalability initiatives.
- Scale the function. Optionally hire or mentor a junior engineer once the foundation is solid.
Must-have experience
- 8 + years building and securing production cloud infrastructure, with deep GCP knowledge (Cloud Run, Cloud Build, IAM).
- Expert with container orchestration and autoscaling strategies.
- Proven record deploying centralized secrets management and automated rotation.
- Ownership of observability stacks and incident-response pipelines.
- Strong application-security background (OWASP, API gateway/WAF, dependency & image scanning).
- Mastery of IaC (Terraform, Pulumi, or equivalent) and CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Cloud Build, GitLab CI, etc.).
- Comfortable operating in a fast, results oriented, and scaling startup environment.
Nice-to-haves
- Experience with workflow orchestration platforms (Temporal, Cadence, Airflow).
- Prior work in HIPAA, SOC 2, or similarly regulated environments.
- Exposure to edge-security patterns (zero-trust networking, service-mesh, mTLS).
- Background building internal developer platforms or golden-path tooling.
Compensation Range: $160K - $260K
