Role overview

Rightsline is looking for a security-focused Sr DevSecOps Engineer to join our 100% remote team. This role is a unique hybrid, splitting your time 50/50 between operational stability — investigating security incidents and maintaining system health — and proactive engineering, where you will build, automate, and harden our infrastructure. Reporting to the DevOps Manager, you will be a key contributor to the safety and integrity of our AWS and Active Directory environments. You will be working in a collaborative environment with a team who shares your passion for building impactful solutions with cutting edge technology.
Mission & Impact

This role keeps Rightsline’s AWS and Active Directory environments safe, stable, and audit-ready. You will be accountable for how quickly security incidents are investigated and resolved, how much of our infrastructure hardening and patching is automated rather than manual, and how consistently security standards are enforced across the organization. Success looks like fewer repeat incidents, a steadily hardened environment, and teammates who can rely on you for security guidance and mentorship.
