Role

Who you are

5+ years in cloud security engineering, DevSecOps, or similar roles
Strong AWS or GCP experience (multi-cloud a plus)
Proficiency with Kubernetes, Terraform/OpenTofu, and CI/CD pipelines
Familiarity with observability tooling (e.g. Datadog, OpenTelemetry)
Experience with vulnerability management or scanning tools (e.g. Snyk, Wiz, Trivy)
Programming skills in Python or Go
Bonus: pen testing or threat modeling, fraud/compliance/payments experience, or security certifications (AWS Security Specialty, CKA/CKS, CISSP, OSCP)

What the job involves

As a Cloud Security Engineer on the DevOps team, you will design and implement guardrails that let engineers move fast while staying safe
This is a hands-on role focused on cloud platform security, automated monitoring, and developer enablement
You’ll work closely with DevOps and engineering to embed security into our infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines so that security is built-in, not bolted-on
We’re a small, multi-hat team (DevEx, SRE, FinOps, DevSecOps), so this role combines owning core infra security with empowering dev teams through self-service golden paths
Enforce secure defaults across AWS/GCP with least-privilege and zero-trust, using policies-as-code (Terraform validations, OPA/Rego/Conftest, Checkov) and cloud-native guardrails (AWS SCPs, GCP Org Policies)
Manage secrets, keys, and service accounts with short-lived credentials, automated rotation, and Cloud KMS/Vault or workload identity federation
Build automated monitoring and alerting pipelines for cloud logs; integrate with SIEM/SOAR and support modern observability (Datadog, Splunk, OpenTelemetry)
Drive vulnerability and supply chain security by integrating IaC, container, and dependency scanning into CI/CD; support SBOMs, artifact signing, and provenance
Apply cloud-native network security services (AWS Shield, CloudFront WAF, GCP Cloud Armor) via infrastructure-as-code
Enable developers through paved-road tooling, docs, and knowledge sharing programs

Our take

Identity and payment fraud is one of the biggest dangers facing online businesses. Sardine is setting out to solve this problem by building the first zero-day fraud prevention technology.

Sardine's technology traces intrinsic behaviour patterns to identify so-called "bad actors" online, and detects fraudsters using machine-learned fraud scores and user behavior biometrics.

The company calls itself the world's first FaaS (Fraud Detection as a Service), and its solutions are already drawing business from next-gen crypto and financial service institutions. Onboarding these institutions and scaling its customer base at pace will ensure that Sardine maintains its frontrunner position.
