This position reports to: Director of Engineering
Overview: At Atlas Travel & Technology Group, our purpose is to Stand-Up, Stand-Out. To do something every day that makes the next day better for all. We value creativity to build new paths forward, collaborate respectfully, have the drive to get up and do it, open ourselves to grow, do what we say, love what we do, and have fun along the way. This is who we are, our culture.
Atlas Travel is a technology-driven corporate travel management company operating at the intersection of travel, payments, and embedded finance. As we continue scaling our engineering organization and financial services platform, we’re looking for a Senior DevSecOps Engineer to help build the infrastructure, security, and operational foundations that support the next stage of growth.
This is a high-autonomy, greenfield role. You’ll be our first dedicated DevSecOps engineer, responsible for improving the reliability, security, scalability, and cost efficiency of our cloud environment and delivery pipelines. You’ll work across engineering and IT to establish operational standards, automate security and compliance workflows, and build the tooling and processes that allow teams to move quickly without compromising security or stability.
Foundational tooling and platforms already exist, but the operational maturity, automation, governance, and standardization behind them are still evolving. This role is responsible for helping turn a growing engineering environment into a scalable, reliable, and audit-ready platform.
You’ll sit within Engineering with a dotted line to IT, partnering closely with teams that build software, operate infrastructure, and manage sensitive customer and financial data.
