Senior DevSecOps & Platform Engineer (all genders)

At heyData, we're building an AI-powered compliance platform that helps organizations simplify information security, data protection, and regulatory compliance. By combining automation and AI, we enable companies to stay compliant with frameworks such as ISO 27001, GDPR, NIS2, and the EU AI Act - more efficiently and with less manual effort.

About The Role

We're looking for a Senior DevSecOps & Platform Engineer to take ownership of our cloud infrastructure and drive its reliability, security, and scalability. In this hands-on senior individual contributor role, you'll define the technical direction of our platform, lead infrastructure initiatives from concept to implementation, and work closely with Engineering, Product, AI, and Security teams. You'll identify opportunities for improvement, solve complex infrastructure challenges, and establish best practices that enable teams to build and ship securely at scale. We're looking for someone who takes ownership, thrives in ambiguous environments, and enjoys turning ideas into pragmatic, high-impact solutions. While this is not a people management role, you'll provide technical leadership, set engineering standards, and mentor fellow engineers through collaboration and guidance.

• Improve platform reliability, security, observability, and operational excellence
• Drive Infrastructure as Code initiatives using Terraform
• Enhance our CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions

• Partner closely with Software, AI, and ML Engineers to enable efficient and secure product delivery
• Lead infrastructure initiatives and establish engineering best practices across the platform

Your Profile

• Several years of experience in DevOps, DevSecOps, Platform Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering
• Strong hands-on expertise with AWS, Kubernetes (ideally Amazon EKS), and Terraform
• Experience with CI/CD, Linux, and infrastructure automation (Bash; Python is a plus)
• Solid understanding of cloud security, observability, monitoring, and Infrastructure as Code
• A proactive, ownership-driven mindset with excellent problem-solving skills
• Professional working proficiency in English

Why joining us as our Senior DevSecOps & Platform Engineer:

• High-impact role with significant technical ownership
