[Hiring] DevSecOps / AWS Platform Engineer @WorldVia

Role Description

We're looking for a highly experienced, hands-on DevSecOps / AWS Platform Engineer to help strengthen and modernize our cloud infrastructure, application security, and development operations. This engagement encompasses two major initiatives:

• Improving our cloud and application security infrastructure.
• Migrating business-critical legacy systems into AWS.

You'll work closely with our engineering and technology leadership teams, with significant autonomy to recommend solutions, make technical decisions, and implement improvements. This is not a purely advisory or architectural role. We want an engineer who enjoys:

• Designing solutions.
• Writing code.
• Automating infrastructure.
• Delivering working systems.

While initially structured as a six-month contract, we're building a long-term internal technology capability, and the right candidate may have an opportunity to transition into a permanent position.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of hands-on experience in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, SRE, or related disciplines.
• Strong AWS expertise, including networking, compute, databases, IAM, security, monitoring, and infrastructure architecture.
• Demonstrated experience migrating production workloads from legacy or third-party environments into AWS, preferably including Windows-based applications.
• Practical experience implementing application and cloud security controls.
• Proficiency with infrastructure as code, such as Terraform or AWS CDK.
• Experience with GitHub Actions or comparable CI/CD systems, automated security scanning, and deployment automation.
• Strong understanding of backup, disaster recovery, production monitoring, and incident response.
• Ability to work independently, communicate clearly, and collaborate with a small, fast-moving engineering team.

Requirements

• Experience with multi-tenant SaaS platforms.
• Amazon Bedrock, AgentCore, or other AI infrastructure.
• Secure development practices involving AI coding tools.
• Financial application or legacy enterprise system migrations.
• PCI DSS or SOC 2 readiness experience.
• Experience balancing security, reliability, infrastructure costs, and rapid product delivery.

Benefits

• Own meaningful technical initiatives from design through production.
• Work directly with decision-makers with minimal bureaucracy.
• Influence the architecture and operational foundations of a growing technology platform.
• Build automated systems and guardrails that make engineers more productive.
• Potentially grow into a permanent role as our technology organization expands.

What Makes This Opportunity Different

We're a product-driven company making a substantial investment in technology. Our engineering team is small, entrepreneurial, and actively embracing AI-assisted development. We value practical problem-solvers who favor thoughtful, maintainable solutions over unnecessary complexity.

What Success Looks Like

At the end of the initial engagement, we expect to have materially improved our security posture, modernized important AWS infrastructure, advanced or completed our priority migrations, and established more consistent and efficient deployment and operating practices. Just as importantly, the systems and processes you build should be well-documented, maintainable, and ready for our internal team to operate.

How to Apply

Please submit your resume and a brief description of one or two relevant projects you've personally led, particularly involving AWS migration, cloud security, or DevOps automation. We're especially interested in candidates who can demonstrate hands-on ownership of complex production environments and sound engineering judgment.
