Quality, Reliability and Security Engineer

About You

Do you get satisfaction from making releases boring and systems predictable? Do you like building the quality gates, CI/CD, monitoring, and security defaults that prevent demo and customer surprises?

Your Responsibilities

As a
Quality, Reliability and Security Engineer (DevOps, QA, DevSecOps)
you will own shipping confidence across testing, deployment, monitoring, migrations, and security-by-default.

• Testing system ownership:
  define and implement the testing "golden path" (unit, integration, E2E) for critical workflows.
• CI automation:
  build reliable pipelines that run fast, fail clearly, and prevent flaky tests from blocking progress.
• CD and release engineering:
  automate safe deploys, environment promotion, rollbacks, and release notes.
• Prod stability:
  improve observability (logs, metrics, traces), alerting, incident hygiene, and "demo-killer" detection.
• Security by design:
  embed secure defaults (secrets, least privilege, dependency scanning, basic threat awareness) beyond just compliance.
• Data migrations:
  create repeatable migration workflows and playbooks for multi-environment and customer database splits.
• Environment hygiene:
  reduce outdated code/data (demo profiles, dead pages, stale test fixtures) and enforce lifecycle policies.
• Collaboration:
  align with engineers and business on what must work, how we test it, and what we monitor.

In your first months you will:
establish a baseline of reliability and security risks, implement the testing and release golden path, and reduce the most frequent production surprises with measurable improvements.
