About The Role

We're looking for a HashiCorp Vault / Terraform / DevSecOps security specialist to take ownership of enterprise secrets management and security automation across cloud and hybrid environments. This is a hands on SME role where you'll drive adoption, uplift controls, and make it easier for engineering teams to do the right thing by default.

You'll work closely with platform engineering, DevOps, cloud, security ops, architecture and risk teams to embed secure secrets patterns into delivery workflows and day to day operations.

Skills (Key Requirements)
* Strong hands on experience with HashiCorp Vault (auth methods, policies, secret engines, audit logging, HA/operations)
* Strong Terraform experience (modules, providers, remote state, peer review, drift/change management, secure handling of sensitive data)
* Proven background in cyber security / DevSecOps / cloud security / platform engineering / IAM / secure automation (typically 5+ years)
* Experience integrating secrets/security controls into CI/CD pipelines and IaC workflows
* Solid knowledge of cloud + cloud native environments (e.g. AWS/Azure/OCI/GCP, Kubernetes, workload identity, IAM, encryption, certificate authorities)
* Ability to translate technical outcomes into operational risk/control impact for stakeholders
* Strong stakeholder management: able to influence engineering teams and drive adoption

Desirables
* Relevant certifications (e.g. HashiCorp Vault Associate, Terraform Associate, AWS/Azure Security, CCSP/CISSP, Kubernetes security certs)
* Familiarity with security frameworks (e.g. NIST CSF, CIS Benchmarks, ISO 27001, Essential 8)
* Experience with policy as code, secrets scanning, secure pipeline design, SIEM integrations, service mesh, or broader cloud security guardrails
* Experience building dashboards/alerts/runbooks/reporting for platform maturity and control effectiveness

Role Responsibilities
* Own end to end enablement and operational management of HashiCorp Vault and the supporting Terraform codebase
* Drive secrets management, credential rotation and identity-based access patterns across cloud and hybrid environments
* Embed Vault into DevSecOps workflows, CI/CD pipelines, Terraform modules and developer self-service patterns
* Define and govern Vault configuration (namespaces, roles, policies), integrations and lifecycle maintenance
* Maintain and uplift Terraform governance (secure state, controlled change, version control, reusable modules, peer review)
* Build out operational capability: dashboards, alerts, runbooks, reporting, and audit ready logging
* Act as the go to SME for secure integration patterns (dynamic secrets, secret leasing, encryption as a service, audit logging)
* Contribute to broader security strategy/roadmap across DevSecOps, workload identity and cloud security automation
* Participate in architecture governance to ensure alignment with enterprise security principles
