Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer - Autonomous Vulnerability Research (Harness Engineering)

Reference: r8gemn4zjd4y2ckqma75

We are seeking a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer to help build the infrastructure and engineering harnesses that support autonomous vulnerability research. You will work at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, software engineering, security research and developer productivity, creating reliable platforms that enable automated discovery, validation and analysis of security weaknesses across diverse systems. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys solving complex infrastructure challenges and improving the safety, scale and repeatability of advanced research workflows.

Your responsibilities will include designing, implementing and operating secure, scalable platforms for automated testing and experimentation; developing CI/CD pipelines, orchestration systems and reproducible execution environments; and building tooling to manage workloads across cloud and containerised infrastructure. You will establish robust observability, logging, alerting and performance monitoring, while improving system resilience, fault tolerance and cost efficiency. You will also help define isolation and access-control strategies for untrusted code and data, contribute to incident response and operational readiness, and collaborate with security researchers and software engineers to translate experimental requirements into dependable production capabilities.

Applicants should have substantial experience in DevOps, platform engineering, site reliability engineering or a closely related discipline, with strong skills in Linux, Python or another systems-oriented language, infrastructure as code and modern CI/CD practices. Experience with Kubernetes, containers, public cloud platforms, distributed systems and observability technologies is highly desirable. You should be comfortable automating complex workflows, debugging issues across application and infrastructure layers, and working in environments where requirements evolve rapidly. A sound understanding of application security, vulnerability research, sandboxing or secure software development would be advantageous. We value clear communication, pragmatic engineering judgement, curiosity and a strong commitment to building safe, maintainable systems.
