TL;DR DevOps Engineer (AWS & Terraform Specialist) Paris 9th - 2 days/week 70K - 100K€

About Us Symbiotic Security is a fast-growing cybersecurity startup (30 people between Paris & NY) helping developers write secure code. Our AI-powered assistant integrates into IDEs and CI/CD pipelines to automatically detect and fix security flaws (notably those generated by AI tools like Copilot).

Our tech team: CTO, 8 Fullstack Engineers, 1 SRE, 2 AI Engineers, 4 Cyber Experts, 1 PM, 2 Product designers

The Role As our DevOps Engineer, you will own the reliability, scalability, and security of our AWS cloud infrastructure.

Your core challenge: You come from a software development background (you’ve built and shipped apps before). You will design production-grade platforms using Terraform and work hand-in-hand with our SRE. While they focus on EKS/Kubernetes orchestration, you will provide the foundational AWS ecosystem, core security architecture, and CI/CD pipelines.

Key Responsibilities • Infrastructure as Code: Design and scale modular AWS infrastructure using Terraform. • SRE Collaboration: Partner with our SRE to harden EKS clusters (networking, RBAC, core infra). • International Expansion: Extend our AWS footprint across the US and Europe (latency, data residency). • Security & DevSecOps: Champion IAM least-privilege, secrets management (Vault/KMS), and embed automated security checks (SAST/DAST) into GitHub Actions. • LLMOps & Compliance: Benchmark AI model performance on Amazon Bedrock and help prepare our upcoming SOC 2 Type II audit.

First 6 Months Challenges • Months 1-2: Audit and take ownership of the existing Terraform codebase; identify security & cost quick wins. • Months 2-4: Implement a unified CI/CD strategy with safe plan/apply gates alongside the SRE. • Months 4-6: Scale the AWS footprint to Europe and build LLMOps practices (benchmarking Bedrock vs Anthropic).

Qualifications • The Dev-to-Ops path: You started in software engineering / coding before moving into DevOps. • AWS Expert: 3+ years managing production workloads (advanced networking, IAM, security). • Terraform Pro: Advanced experience with modules, state management, and CI-driven workflows. • K8s & Linux: Strong understanding of Kubernetes concepts and deep knowledge of Linux internals.

Nice to have: Experience in an early-stage startup and familiarity with SOC 2 compliance.
