[Hiring] DevSecOps Cloud Security @Checkmk GmbH

Role Description

Checkmk is bringing its industry-leading monitoring solution to the cloud. We have built a robust, cloud-native foundation on AWS, and we are now looking for a DevSecOps specialist to lead the next phase of our security evolution.

• Lead the Security Evolution: Take ownership of our security roadmap, moving from a developer-led security model to a specialized, automated DevSecOps practice.
• Advanced AWS Hardening: Deepen our infrastructure security by implementing advanced AWS configurations (e.g., Service Control Policies, refined IAM boundaries, and specialized GuardDuty/Macie integration).
• Automate the "Shift-Left": Integrate sophisticated security gates into our existing CI/CD pipelines, ensuring that hardening is a silent, automated partner to our deployment process.
• Kubernetes Security Specialist: Enhance our EKS security posture, implementing advanced network policies, runtime security, and automated vulnerability remediation.
• Bridge the Gap: Act as the primary consultant for the engineering team, helping to balance rapid feature development with high-assurance security standards.

Qualifications

• The Experience: 4+ years in DevOps/SRE, with a clear specialization in Cloud Security for high-availability SaaS products.
• AWS Power User: Proven track record of securing complex AWS environments, leveraging AWS-native security tools effectively.
• Infrastructure-as-Code: Expert in Terraform, believing that if a security policy isn't in code, it doesn't exist.
• Container & K8s Depth: Deep knowledge of the CNCF security landscape, understanding how to protect the cluster, the pod, and the code.
• Collaborative Leadership: A "Security Builder and Enabler," who enjoys teaching others and building consensus on technical standards.
• Analytical Mindset: Enjoys anticipating risks before they manifest and building systems that fail safely.
• Language: Business fluent English; German is a plus.

Benefits

• The chance to make a decisive impact and shape the future of a dynamic, fast-growing tech company while growing with your tasks and responsibilities.
• Flexible and family-friendly working conditions in a stable environment.
• Access to over 9,000 sports and wellness offers from Wellpass.
• An agile team that embodies autonomy and fast decision-making within flat hierarchies.
• A unique corporate culture emphasizing equality, diversity, and inclusion.
• A wide range of education and training opportunities.
• Fully remote work or high flexibility between mobile work and an office in one of the most beautiful, central districts of Munich.
• An attractive salary.
• Regular onsite events of all sorts (Company Outings, Team events, Checkmk Conference, Conference After Party, and more) in a familiar atmosphere.
