Rockstar is recruiting for a digital engineering software company that builds open, scalable infrastructure for engineering data. Their platform allows customers to simply and securely integrate engineering models across disciplines, organizations, and security levels — whether designing prototypes, performing virtual testing, or training AI and autonomy for complex systems. They are a team that values focus, finish, facts, and fellowship.
About the Role
They are seeking a DevSecOps Engineer to join their Engineering team. This role is critical to securing, hardening, and scaling the infrastructure that powers their platform across cloud-hosted production environments.
This engineer will work closely with platform, infrastructure, and security stakeholders to improve the security and operational maturity of their AWS and Kubernetes environments, support compliance and audit readiness, and help ensure their systems are reliable, secure, and maintainable as they grow. This role will also support environments serving regulated and security-sensitive customer needs, including an environment they host for a Government organization.
The ideal candidate combines strong hands-on infrastructure expertise with sound security judgment and a practical, execution-focused mindset. They should be comfortable working across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, operating systems, compliance controls, and production operations.
Core Responsibilities
Responsibilities include collaborating with the platform and engineering teams to secure and improve production infrastructure, harden cloud and host configurations, and build repeatable operational practices across environments. Key responsibilities include:
- Design, implement, and maintain secure, scalable infrastructure in AWS
- Manage, secure, and improve Kubernetes-based environments, including production workloads
- Build and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform
- Harden production systems across cloud, compute, container, identity, and network layers
- Develop and maintain secure baseline configurations for infrastructure and platform services
- Support vulnerability management, patching, remediation, and configuration compliance efforts across environments
- Configure, administer, and patch both Linux and Windows VMs
- Support identity and access management practices, including least privilege, role design, and privileged access controls
- Contribute to administration and integration of Active Directory domains where needed
- Partner with engineering teams to improve security within CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, and operational processes
- Support compliance initiatives, audits, evidence collection, and technical control validation
