Senior DevSecOps Engineer | Bankrate

Bankrate, a Red Ventures company, provides financial information and comparison tools for consumers. The Senior DevSecOps Engineer will own the engineering side of the compliance program and cloud security posture while building security-as-code, CI/CD security gates, vulnerability remediation, and automated guardrails. The role will also develop AI-assisted security automation and mature the company’s in-house security capabilities.

Responsibilities:

• Own the engineering side of our compliance program (SOC 2 Type 2): implementing controls, collecting evidence, and keeping us audit-ready
• Operate our compliance automation platform — integrations, evidence pipelines, and mapping controls to real implementation
• Productize compliance: policy-as-code, automated evidence generation, and guardrails so passing audits doesn't slow product delivery
• Own cloud security posture management and runtime security tooling: posture monitoring, container and IaC scanning, and runtime coverage across our environment
• Triage and remediate findings against demanding SLAs, and design the automation and alerting that keeps pace with volume manual effort can't
• Build auto-remediation workflows — including AI-assisted pipelines — that detect, file, and (where safe) fix findings with minimal human intervention
• Build and maintain CI/CD security gates: SAST/SCA, secret scanning, SBOM generation, dependency management, and container/IaC scanning — implemented as reusable pipeline components and enforced through automated policy
• Encode security and compliance controls into infrastructure-as-code and policy-as-code so the easy path is the secure path
• Help close the prototype-to-production gap: turn fast-moving prototypes into production-grade, secure-by-default systems with automated guardrails
• Make secure-by-default the norm through our internal tooling, so the right controls are applied automatically rather than relying on engineers to remember
• Build the automation the team runs on — reusable modules, pipeline components, and AI/agentic tooling that turn manual security work into self-service capability
• Partner with corporate security and GRC functions while building and maturing our in-house security capability, so the team can make sound security decisions quickly and independently

Requirements:

• This role is not open to visa sponsorship or transfer of visa sponsorship including those on H1-B, F-1, OPT, STEM-OPT, or TN visa, nor is it available to work corp-to-corp
• This role is open to remote or hybrid candidates (East Coast preference), with hybrid being central to our New York, NY or Charlotte area offices. Must be able to work Eastern Standard Time hours
• 5+ years in security engineering, DevSecOps, or platform/infrastructure engineering with a strong security focus (Staff level: 8+ years and a track record of building security functions or programs)
• Deep hands-on cloud security experience (compute, networking, IAM, key management, logging) on a major cloud provider
• Strong infrastructure-as-code skills, especially Terraform, including policy-as-code
• Proven CI/CD security experience: building pipeline security controls (SAST/SCA, secret scanning, dependency and container scanning) into developer workflows
• Hands-on vulnerability management at scale: triage, prioritization, SLA-driven remediation, and the automation to make it sustainable
• Working knowledge of SOC 2 (or comparable frameworks) and what it takes to implement and evidence controls in a real engineering environment
• Fluency with the categories of modern cloud security tooling — CSPM, ASPM/SAST and secret scanning, compliance automation, and SIEM (e.g., tools such as Wiz, Prisma Cloud, Snyk, Drata, Vanta, or equivalents)
• Strong coding/scripting ability to build automation, not just configure tools — you write the pipelines, modules, and tooling that scale security across many services
• Experience standing up or maturing an in-house security function
• Multi-cloud exposure and experience securing an internal developer platform
• Security monitoring and detection/alerting design
• Experience applying AI/LLM tooling to security operations — auto-remediation, evidence generation, agentic workflows
