Role Overview

We are looking for DevSecOps Engineers to design, build, and operate secure, cloud-native, containerised infrastructure on AWS for a Singapore public sector modernisation project.

• Apply cloud security practices and controls, including least-privilege IAM, EKS Pod Identity, network isolation, system and container hardening, mTLS, secrets management, and encryption at rest and in transit.
• Build security into the development process by integrating SAST, dependency, secret, container image, and IaC scanning into GitLab CI/CD pipelines, with defined pass/fail gates.
• Set up and maintain monitoring, alerting, and observability using tools such as Dynatrace or Datadog.
• Support production deployments and incident resolution, including writing and maintaining runbooks.
• Design, implement, and regularly test backup and restore procedures.
