We are looking for a DevSecOps Engineer to join our team here at Rustici Software.

They share ownership of the build and deployment pipeline for our products. The team also provides advice in product and application development.

On the development side, we want a candidate with broad knowledge of:

• Reasonable familiarity with HTML, CSS, JavaScript

• AWS for hosting, actively using EC2, RDS, CloudFront, Elasticache, Route53, ELBs, Lambda
• Jenkins Pipelines and GitHub Actions for test and build orchestration
