Secure the Future of Cloud Development — One Policy at a Time
Are you a hands-on DevSecOps engineer with a passion for embedding security into the development lifecycle? Do you thrive in high-impact environments where your code shapes how cloud platforms are governed?
Join one of Europe’s top DevOps consultancies — a digital transformation leader trusted by major enterprises across the public and private sector. We're looking for a Terraform Policy Developer with Sentinel experience to help design and implement the next generation of cloud controls for a flagship client.
🚀 The Mission
You’ll play a critical role in developing security policies as code, enabling safe, scalable, and developer-friendly adoption of public cloud infrastructure. This is your chance to help a major organisation “shift security left” — catching misconfigurations and vulnerabilities before they go live.
What You'll Do
* ✨ Develop 20 new Sentinel policies aligned with AWS best practices and existing Terraform control rules
* 🧪 Use an existing automated testing framework to validate policy behaviour and fail scenarios
* 🛠️ Demo and hand over policies to internal platform teams and customers
* 📚 Write clear and practical developer and customer documentation
* 📊 Showcase policy capabilities across public cloud teams
* 🤝 Lead hands-on sessions with users to drive adoption and gather feedback
* 📈 Contribute to broader cloud control strategy and parity between Terraform and Sentinel frameworks
Tech Stack & Environment
* Terraform (HCL) – infrastructure as code
* Sentinel – policy as code (Terraform Cloud/Enterprise)
* Python – scripting and automation
* GitLab – CI/CD pipelines and source control
* AWS – primary cloud provider (Azure coming soon)
* Security Frameworks – AWS Foundational Best Practices
Who You Are
* ✅ An experienced DevSecOps or Platform Engineer with a strong grasp of cloud security automation
* ✅ You’ve written and deployed Sentinel policies and understand how to enforce security guardrails at scale
* ✅ Strong working knowledge of Terraform, GitLab, and cloud-native architecture (AWS preferred)
* ✅ Able to demo, document, and explain your work to engineers, security teams, and stakeholders
* ✅ Autonomous, collaborative, and comfortable with fast-moving environments
Bonus Points For
* Experience with AWS Security Lake
* Familiarity with multi-cloud environments
* Understanding of Cactus (internal Terraform module library)
* Previous experience in public sector or regulated industries
Why Join Us?
* 🌐 Work with a visionary public cloud platform team on a mission to automate and scale security
* 🔧 Collaborate with a tight-knit group of high-calibre engineers solving real-world challenges
* 🧱 Own policy development from discovery to release
* 🧠 Be part of building a developer-friendly security framework
* 💼 Long-term potential and pipeline of exciting cloud transformation projects
