About the role
DevSecOps / Cloud Engineer role on Trial Library's Infrastructure team, focusing on building AWS foundation with Terraform/Control Tower/AFT, owning security for PHI and Bedrock AI workloads, and delivering self-service tooling and guardrails for fast engineering delivery in a HIPAA-regulated environment.
Responsibilities
- Infrastructure as code. The Terraform codebase - module design, state strategy, drift detection, plan review discipline - and the migration of our CloudFormation/Serverless footprint where it delivers real leverage, without stalling product delivery.
- The AWS landing zone. Multi-account structure via Control Tower and AFT: account vending, customizations, service control policies, and OU design.
- Security engineering. Security Hub, GuardDuty, Inspector, and Config as living detection tooling: triage findings, tune signals, and run the vulnerability lifecycle from discovery through verified fix. Coordinate penetration tests and own remediation.
- Pipeline and supply chain security. Secure the commit-to-production path in GitHub Actions: least-privilege OIDC deployment roles, secrets scanning, SAST and dependency/container gates, branch protection, and artifact integrity.
- Developer enablement. Paved-path tooling, self-service infrastructure, and secure defaults that let product engineers move fast without filing tickets.
- Disaster recovery and backup. Backup strategy, RPO/RTO targets, Aurora point-in-time recovery, and regular DR testing to satisfy HIPAA contingency planning requirements.
- Compliance as code. SOC 2 and HIPAA controls encoded into the platform - encryption, KMS, CloudTrail/Config coverage, log retention - with automated evidence collection.
- Identity and access governance. IAM Identity Center, cross-account roles, SSO, periodic access reviews, and joiner/mover/leaver deprovisioning, alongside network foundations: VPC design, WAF, and Client VPN.
Qualifications
- 5+ years in DevSecOps, security, platform, or infrastructure engineering, operating production systems you were accountable for
- Demonstrated security ownership: vulnerability management, remediation of real findings, incident response participation
- Deep Terraform proficiency: module hierarchies, multi-environment state, drift and refactors, critical plan review
- Hands-on AFT and Control Tower experience - vended accounts through AFT and customized the pipeline
- Broad AWS depth: IAM, Organizations, VPC, Lambda, RDS/Aurora, S3, KMS, CloudTrail, Config, Security Hub, GuardDuty, Secrets Manager
- GitHub Actions as a daily environment, including pipeline hardening and secrets management
- SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA experience in a real PHI-handling environment - owned controls, produced evidence, auditor-facing
- Change and release discipline: deployment/rollback strategies in production within regulated constraints
- Autonomous, hands-on, and able to document decisions and explain security tradeoffs to non-security colleagues
- Use of AI coding and automation tools in daily work; curiosity about AI-augmented infrastructure and security practices
- Genuine interest in improving clinical trial access and health equity
