Senior/Lead DevSecOps Engineer (Azure, Terraform, Sentinel)

N-iX is seeking a Senior/Lead DevSecOps Engineer to join a Threat Detection Engineering team for an Infrastructure-as-Code migration initiative. The role focuses on migrating Microsoft Sentinel and associated Azure resources to Terraform, automating deployments, and improving the reliability of threat detection infrastructure.

Responsibilities:

• Transition the configuration of existing Microsoft Sentinel and Azure resources (used to collect, process, and ingest security telemetry) to Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform)
• Build, automate, and manage Azure resource configuration leveraging GitHub and Azure DevOps (ADO) pipelines
• Demonstrate software engineering principles throughout the migration lifecycle, including using version control, automated testing, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to eliminate breaking changes and false negatives
• Partner effectively with the Threat Detection Engineering team to establish repeatable, scalable documentation around automated infrastructure deployment
• Clearly and concisely communicate technical security concepts, infrastructure findings, and migration status updates to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Requirements:

• 4+ years of progressive experience in Software Engineering, DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or Cybersecurity, with at least 2+ years explicitly focused on Infrastructure-as-Code automation (Terraform) and provisioning cloud platform environments
• Direct, hands-on proficiency building, managing, and maintaining secure continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines within both GitHub and Azure DevOps (ADO)
• Deep technical expertise in provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure using Terraform, including state file management, modular development, and executing zero-downtime refactoring
• Direct experience configuring and optimizing Microsoft Sentinel SIEM environments, with a specific focus on deploying the associated Azure resources used for security log collection and ingestion via code
• Highly proficient in programming languages like Python or Go, alongside scripting tools (e.g., PowerShell, Bash), specifically tailored for system automation, cloud platform interactions, and custom API integrations
• Demonstrated ability to author clean, comprehensive engineering documentation, including architectural mappings of cloud deployments and exhaustive inventory tracking of resources maintained under Terraform management
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
• advanced security or cloud engineering certifications (e.g., Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert, Azure Security Engineer Associate, or HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate are a distinct advantage
• Experience managing large-scale infrastructure deployments across complex, multi-tenant cloud environments
• Strong foundational background in security-focused software engineering, DevSecOps, or automation-heavy system architecture
• Proven history of collaborating effectively across engineering, infrastructure, and security operations teams to drive architectural excellence
