[Remote] Senior DevOps & Security Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Synapticure is a specialty care and life sciences company focused on neurodegenerative diseases. The Senior DevOps & Security Engineer will build, operate, secure, automate, and improve cloud infrastructure and software delivery environments, with a focus on AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, compliance, vulnerability management, observability, and production reliability.

Responsibilities

• Translate security and compliance requirements into practical technical controls and directly support HIPAA, SOC 2, and related activities
• Build, maintain, secure, and improve AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes/EKS environments, identity and access controls (IAM), networking, databases, storage, logging, monitoring, and SIEM integrations
• Develop and maintain Terraform, secure CI/CD pipelines, deployment tooling, and related automation
• Manage vulnerability scanning, security telemetry, incident response support, and application/infrastructure hardening
• Partner with Engineering, Data, and other internal teams to automate workflows, connect systems, and reduce manual work
• Build scripts, integrations, internal tools, and API-based automations across technical and business systems
• Maintain clear technical documentation, architecture diagrams, and infrastructure security standards
• Research and evaluate new tools, security practices, and infrastructure approaches to determine how they can be applied effectively in our environment
• Participate in on-call or escalation coverage as operational needs evolve. Our production environment is generally stable and relatively low-traffic, so after-hours work tends to focus more on planned maintenance, upgrades, and proactive security improvements than on responding to outages

• Strong understanding of cloud security, IAM, networking, vulnerability management, observability, and incident response
• Hands-on experience supporting or implementing security controls in regulated environments (e.g., HIPAA, SOC 2)
• Hands-on experience with SentinelOne (or similar EDR/endpoint security platforms), AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, and securing CI/CD pipelines
• Ability to write scripts (Python, Bash, etc.) and work with APIs, integrations, and security automation
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to produce clear technical writing, architecture documentation, and cross-functional collaboration
• Ability to work independently, research unfamiliar problems, and take projects from problem definition through implementation
• Experience in healthcare, healthtech, financial services, or another highly regulated sector
• Familiarity with tools such as Datadog, SentinelOne, Argo CD, GitHub Actions, or Google Workspace administration
