About the Role
At ClassWallet, we are redefining how public funds reach the people who need them. We are seeking a Senior DevSecOps Engineer to serve as the primary architect of our security posture. This is a role for a technical leader who views security as a foundational structural element, not an automated afterthought.
Reporting to the Director of Architecture, you will own the critical intersection of security and compliance, driving the continuous hardening and evolution of our systems at every layer. Your work will ensure that our platform remains a fortress, maintaining the highest levels of trust with our government partners. You will work as a high-impact peer to our DevOps and Engineering teams and collaborate closely with our CISO to align our overarching compliance efforts with deep, architectural implementation.
Requirements
The ideal candidate is a security veteran who thrives in high-stakes environments and possesses a deep "defender" mindset.
- Experience: Minimum of 10 years of experience securing Cloud systems (AWS), specifically within or very near government-level security environments (FedRAMP/GovRAMP/DoD).
- Compliance Mastery: Deep, hands-on expertise in SOC2 Type 2 compliance. Familiarity with GovRAMP and FedRAMP frameworks is essential, as you will be responsible for translating these high-level requirements into technical reality.
- Monitoring & Incident Response: Expertise in implementing and managing SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and SOAR platforms (e.g., Splunk, Datadog Security, AlienVault, or AWS Security Hub). You should be adept at configuring complex alerting, log aggregation, and real-time threat detection to ensure constant visibility.
- Technical Stack:
- Cloud: Expert-level proficiency in hardening AWS environments (IAM, VPC, GuardDuty, KMS, Security Hub, and AWS Config).
- Application Security: Deep understanding of securing Node-based systems and modern web applications.
- Data Security: Extensive experience in database security, encryption at rest/transit, and data masking.
- Infrastructure: Deep knowledge of securing CI/CD pipelines and automating security gates within the development lifecycle.
- Documentation & Process: Proven ability to create and maintain stringent, audit-ready documentation. You don't just secure the system; you prove it through impeccable record-keeping and process design.
- Security Testing: Experience managing and remediating findings from external penetration tests and automated vulnerability scanning (SAST/DAST).
- Collaboration: Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to influence DevOps and Engineering teams to adopt a "Security-First" culture.
Your success in this role will be defined by three key pillars:
- System Hardening & Extension: Move beyond standard configurations to implement a true "Zero Trust" architecture. You will harden our infrastructure baselines and extend our security capabilities to anticipate emerging threats before they manifest, ensuring our systems are robust from the ground up.
- Compliance Integration: Transform compliance from a yearly audit into a continuous, architectural process. You will align our SOC2, GovRAMP, and FedRAMP efforts so that our security posture is a lived reality, fully integrated into our deployment pipelines and daily operations.
- Trust as a Competitive Advantage: Position ClassWallet’s security as a market differentiator. By maintaining an impeccable security environment, you enable the business to confidently pursue the most sensitive government contracts, knowing our technology is the gold standard for fund management.
