Senior DevSecOps Engineer blending cloud security, compliance, and resilient platform infrastructure.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior DevSecOps Engineer with 10+ years in the overlap between security and infrastructure, building cloud security and compliance into engineering work—not as something bolted on later. At SentinelOne, I support platform infrastructure for a detection pipeline ingesting billions of security events daily, and I own shared data services that product teams rely on.
I focus on hardening reliability and change management end to end: I’ve standardized Kafka cluster operations on EKS/GKE using operators and ArgoCD, led ZooKeeper to KRaft migration coordination with parallel clusters, and rebuilt monitoring/alerting with Datadog composite monitors to prevent silent degradations. In GovCloud, I automated CI/CD gates with health checks and rollbacks, integrated CloudTrail-aligned deployment visibility for FedRAMP readiness, and configured Vault database secrets for short-lived credential rotation in EKS.

Rebuilt GovCloud maintenance prechecks, CI/CD gates in GitHub Actions with canary health rollback, and Vault-based secrets rotation—resulting in clean maintenance windows and no missing deploym
