Position Overview
We are seeking a Security-Focused DevOps Engineer to lead the packaging, deployment, and security posture of a critical software suite used in fire prevention systems.
This role sits at the intersection of DevOps, cybersecurity, and software deployment within an ecosystem that includes:
- A Windows-based configuration application;
- A C/C++ Linux simulation of a fire prevention panel;
- A C++/Qt simulator interacting with live simulations and configuration files.
The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering a seamless, secure, and enterprise-ready deployment experience. This includes packaging and integrating Linux components for Windows environments using WSL2, virtual machines, or containers, as well as implementing an Okta-based identity management solution across the software suite.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, package, and deploy software solutions across Windows and Linux environments.
- Implement and maintain secure deployment processes and operational practices.
- Package and distribute Linux components for Windows users through WSL2, virtualization, or container technologies.
- Implement and administer identity and access management (IAM) solutions using Okta or an equivalent identity platform.
- Integrate authentication and authorization mechanisms using SAML, OAuth2, OIDC, and JWT standards.
- Perform vulnerability assessments, security reviews, and system hardening activities.
- Apply security best practices across infrastructure and deployment environments.
- Collaborate with development teams to ensure secure software delivery practices are followed.
- Troubleshoot deployment, integration, and security-related issues across the software ecosystem.
- Produce and maintain clear deployment, security, and operational documentation for internal teams and enterprise customers.
- Ensure compliance with reliability, security, and corporate customer requirements.
Required Qualifications
- Minimum 5 years of hands-on DevOps experience with a strong security focus.
- Demonstrated experience packaging and deploying software in enterprise environments, primarily Windows-based.
- Strong expertise in Linux environments and Windows/Linux integration.
- Solid experience with WSL2, Docker, Podman, or other container technologies.
- Practical experience with Okta or a comparable identity provider.
- Good knowledge of:
- SAML

Proficiency in:
- C++

- TLS/SSL
- Experience with vulnerability management, system hardening, and secure software delivery practices.

Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in hybrid Windows/Linux enterprise environments.
- Knowledge of enterprise software packaging and deployment tools.
- Experience working in regulated or security-sensitive industries.
- Familiarity with industrial systems, fire prevention systems, or other mission-critical software environments.
Desired Profile
- Ability to work autonomously across both Windows and Linux environments.
- Proactive, security-first mindset with strong ownership of deliverables.
- Comfortable owning the full DevOps and security lifecycle with minimal supervision.
- Generalist profile with deep security expertise, rather than a purely DevOps or purely cybersecurity background.
