What is a remote security engineer?

A Remote Security Engineer is an IT professional who specializes in protecting computer systems, networks, and data from cyber threats, while working from a location outside of the traditional office environment. They design, implement, and manage security measures such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and encryption protocols. Remote Security Engineers often collaborate with teams virtually to monitor systems, respond to incidents, and ensure compliance with security policies. This role requires strong technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and familiarity with current cybersecurity threats and best practices.

What does a remote security engineer do?

As a remote security engineer, your job duties focus on assessing and ensuring the security infrastructure of a company or organization’s computer network, software, and devices. Your responsibilities vary depending on the needs of your employer or client. You may monitor networks and systems for evidence of a security breach, ensure encryption of sensitive information and communications, respond to potential security breaks, and help implement cybersecurity measures. You typically ensure that your client’s software, systems, and devices have the latest security updates.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote security engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Security Engineer, you need expertise in network security, incident response, and vulnerability assessment, usually backed by a degree in computer science or a related field and relevant certifications like CISSP or CEH. Familiarity with security tools such as firewalls, SIEM platforms, intrusion detection/prevention systems, and cloud security solutions is crucial. Strong analytical thinking, clear communication, and self-motivation are vital soft skills for collaborating remotely and responding quickly to threats. These skills and qualities ensure robust protection of digital assets and effective coordination within distributed teams, which is critical for maintaining organizational security in remote work environments.

How do remote security engineers typically collaborate with cross-functional teams given the distributed nature of their work?

Remote Security Engineers often use a combination of video conferencing, collaborative documentation tools, and secure communication platforms to work closely with IT, development, and operations teams. Regular virtual meetings, code reviews, and incident response simulations are common to ensure everyone stays aligned on security protocols and project goals. Effective asynchronous communication and clear documentation are essential to overcome time zone differences and maintain strong security postures across remote teams.

Job description

Senior DevSecOps Engineer (Remote-based role that requires US-citizenship)

About us

Hyperproof is on a mission to transform the Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) world with a powerful new software platform. With Hyperproof, companies can save time and money while also operating their programs at a much higher level of effectiveness and accountability. We envision a world where organizations we depend on are truly trustworthy - and Hyperproof is the platform that will get them there.

We have a great team and culture - picture yourself in a highly collaborative startup environment where you can make a real impact on something truly important. It's an exciting time to be at Hyperproof; we raised our Series B round in 2023, validating our teamwork and company vision, and we continue to grow rapidly.

As we continue to grow, we are seeking a talented Senior DevSecOps Engineer to join our team and lead our efforts in supporting our multi-region, FedRAMP-authorized infrastructure.

WHO YOU ARE:

You are a seasoned Senior DevSecOps Engineer with a passion for ensuring the reliability, scalability, and security of cloud-based infrastructure. You thrive in dynamic environments and possess a deep understanding of Azure technologies. Your expertise in DevOps methodologies and security practices, and federal compliance standards makes you an invaluable asset to any team.

You excel at collaborating with cross-functional teams and are dedicated to driving innovation and continuous improvement. You understand that compliance and developer velocity are not opposing forces — and you know how to architect systems that deliver both.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

As a Senior DevSecOps Engineer, you will lead the management and optimization of Hyperproof's Azure-based infrastructure across commercial and FedRAMP regions. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Develop and execute DevOps strategy tailored to all Hyperproof regions, including our FedRAMP-authorized environments.
  • Own and evolve our Terraform/Terragrunt IaC pipeline for multi-subscription promotion, including continuous monitoring
  • Architect secure, scalable platform infrastructure including GitHub Actions, GitLab, and ADO CI/CD pipelines with security gates, Kubernetes environments, observability systems, and compliance automation that enables developer velocity while maintaining continuous compliance posture.
  • Support FedRAMP authorization activities: contribute to SSP documentation, NIST 800-53 control implementations, 3PAO coordination, and readiness assessments while establishing repeatable processes.
  • Establish security and compliance architecture patterns across encryption, network segmentation, secrets management, supply chain security, and incident response.
  • Drive technical decisions and technology selection for cloud platforms, compliance tooling, and security controls.
  • Mentor and raise the technical bar across engineering teams through architecture reviews, design discussions, and establishing FedRAMP best practices.
  • Partner with security, product, and business leadership to translate federal customer requirements into technical architecture and deliver measurable improvements in security posture and operational efficiency.
  • Monitor, triage, and remediate CVEs and security vulnerabilities across infrastructure, container images, and dependencies — maintaining compliance with FedRAMP continuous monitoring requirements.

WHAT YOU WILL BRING:
Required:

  • U.S. citizenship, residing and working from within the United States.*
  • BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years of extensive experience in SRE, DevSecOps or Platform engineering roles, with a focus on managing Azure-based infrastructure.
  • Demonstrated knowledge and interest in applying AI technologies towards fully or partially automating compliance & security workflows
  • Strong programming skills (Python, Bash, Go, or Node.js) and demonstrated ability to drive complex technical initiatives from architecture through production.
  • Expertise in modern platform technologies: Kubernetes security, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/Terragrunt), GitOps (Helm/ArgoCD/Flux), Ansible, CI/CD security, observability systems, and secrets management.
  • Familiarity with compliance standards and regulations, particularly NIST 800-53 and FedRAMP.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team environment.
  • A positive attitude and a willingness to learn, adapt, collaborate, and grow in a dynamic environment.

Preferred:

  • Experience contributing to FedRAMP authorization efforts (Moderate or High), including SSP documentation, control implementation, or 3PAO coordination.
  • Experience with Azure networking, and security boundaries.
  • Experience with compliance automation, supply chain security (SBOM, image signing), or secrets management at scale.
  • Professional certifications: CISSP, Azure Security Specialty, CKS, or equivalent.
  • Familiarity with CMMC, OSCAL, or compliance-as-code practices.
  • Experience with vulnerability scanning and remediation tooling (e.g., Trivy, Snyk, Qualys, or Defender for Cloud).
  • Advanced degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience architecting secure, compliant platforms at scale.

LOCATION

Candidate must be a US-citizen but can be located anywhere within the US.

CANDIDATE EXPERIENCE

We respect your time and aim for transparency throughout the interview process. You can expect:

  • A 30-minute initial chat with our Principal People & Talent Partner.
  • A Take Home Assessment, which you will work on within GitHub.
  • Three 60-minute 1:1 interviews with members of our engineering team, one of them who will be the hiring manager.

This process allows both parties to ask questions and gauge fit for the team.
*Due to the nature of the work and participation in federal security and compliance programs, U.S. citizenship is required as a bona fide occupational qualification in accordance with federal government security and compliance regulations. This role requires physical presence within the United States while working — access to FedRAMP-authorized environments from outside U.S. borders is not permitted.

Full compensation packages are based on candidate experience and certifications.
