Platform Engineer

The Platform Engineer is responsible for embedding security into DCS’s cloud and platform foundations, ensuring that security controls are designed, implemented, automated, and operated as part of the platform lifecycle rather than treated as an afterthought. 

This role acts as a technical security enabler for the platform, working closely with the Information Security Officer to ensure that security requirements are translated into scalable, reliable, and auditable technical controls across cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and identity platforms.

Make an Impact by:

• Design and operate secure-by-default cloud platform components on Azure, including network, computer,  Kubernetes, and storage security. 

• Implement platform-level security guardrails and baseline configurations using Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform). 

• Hands-on expertise with Kubernetes (preferably AKS) and microservices / event-driven architectures. 

• Experience with CI/CD and GitOps practices (Azure DevOps or equivalent tools). 

• Strong Linux fundamentals and scripting skills (Python and/or Shell) for automation; configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible) are a plus. 

• Experience with monitoring, observability, and platform security tooling (e.g., OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana, container security tools), with exposure to DevSecOps and compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, TISAX) considered an advantage.

We strive to create an inclusive work environment, safe for anyone regardless of their gender identity, sexual orientation, abilities, ethnicity or race. We have the clear goal of driving diversity and inclusion across all dimensions and treat each applicant with the same respect and consideration.
