ABOUT SPHINX

Sphinx builds software to solve complex national security problems in Space. Founded by engineers and technologists with deep experience across commercial and defense technology, we were frustrated by the outdated and insecure technology America's service members are forced to rely on. We're here to do better.

We’re focused on building modern, scalable products with an emphasis on using open source technologies. Expect talented, motivated, and interesting colleagues who emphasize collaboration, transparency, and individual responsibility.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Sphinx is hiring a DevSecOps Engineer to help secure and scale the cloud-native infrastructure supporting our national security and space-focused software platforms. This role will be responsible for integrating security throughout the software development lifecycle, maintaining critical security tooling, and partnering closely with engineering teams to ensure our applications and infrastructure remain secure, compliant, and resilient.

As a DevSecOps Engineer, you will own and maintain security platforms across our AWS and Kubernetes environments, implement security best practices within CI/CD pipelines, and help drive a security-first engineering culture. As an early member of a growing team, you’ll have significant influence on our security architecture, tooling strategy, and development processes.

WHAT YOU’LL BE FOCUSING ON

• Configure, deploy, and maintain security tools across cloud-native environments.
• Integrate security tooling into existing software development and deployment workflows.
• Partner with engineering teams to implement security best practices throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Manage and optimize security controls within AWS cloud environments and Kubernetes clusters.
• Maintain and improve application, infrastructure, and container security posture.
• Implement automated security scanning, monitoring, alerting, and remediation processes.
