Staff DevSecOps Engineer

Redox is on a mission to accelerate healthcare’s transformation with useful data. The Staff DevSecOps Engineer will work at the intersection of platform engineering and security, focusing on hardening the software development process and ensuring secure defaults for engineers at Redox.

Responsibilities:

• Champion a security-first mindset within Engineering to help set the security posture of our platform infrastructure — supply chain hardening, secrets management, IAM/IRSA, container image integrity, and vulnerability remediation across our AWS/EKS environment
• Design and build automation that makes compliance evidence continuous, not manual — translating HITRUST controls into passing tests and structured outputs that flow into our compliance tooling (Vanta)
• Embed security into the platform by default: make the secure path the easy path for application engineers, through guardrails, policy-as-code, and well-documented patterns
• Partner with our Security team to translate threat assessments and control gaps into engineering proposals with clear scope, tradeoffs, and recommended paths forward
• Lead platform security initiatives from design to operationalization — requirements, technical design, code and code review, deployment, and documentation
• Contribute hands-on to the broader platform: CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, observability, and developer tooling — this is an IC role, not a governance role
• Participate in on-call rotation and own the systems you build, including production incidents
• Mentor engineers on security practices and raise the security baseline across the team

Requirements:

• 8+ years in cloud-native infrastructure or platform engineering roles, with demonstrable progression in technical scope and leadership
• Hands-on expertise with AWS and Kubernetes (EKS) — you've operated these in production, not just deployed them
• Security depth: you understand supply chain risk, IAM/zero-trust patterns, secrets management, and vulnerability management at the platform level — not just as concepts
• Experience translating compliance frameworks (HITRUST, SOC 2, or equivalent) into concrete engineering controls — bonus if you've worked with Vanta or similar compliance automation tooling
• Fluency in infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/HCL) and at least one scripting language (Python, Go, or Node.js/TypeScript)
• Experience with modern CI/CD systems and the security surface they introduce — pipeline integrity, artifact signing, registry controls
• Strong written communication and a track record of driving technical decisions in async, remote environments - you write proposals, not just Slack messages, and convert them to impact
• Experience in a fully remote, growth-stage, or regulated-industry company
• Developer enablement work — you've thought about the internal developer experience, not just the ops side
• Go, Node.js, or TypeScript — we're a TypeScript shop and it helps to be comfortable there
• Vanta or similar compliance automation tooling
• VPN administration or enterprise network security experience
• Dependency management tooling (Renovate, Dependabot)
