Senior Python / AWS Enginner

QIT Software is looking for a scrappy, security-focused Infrastructure Engineer to join a fast-growing AI video platform. You'll be responsible for "Security by Design" across the core platform - ensuring AWS-based infrastructure, Kubernetes clusters, and data stores are resilient against evolving threats while maintaining the high performance required for real-time AI video generation at scale.


Requirements:
- Proficiency in Python for automation and tool development

- 3+ years of professional experience in infrastructure security, SRE, or DevOps
- Hands-on experience securing AWS services and managing containerized workloads in Kubernetes (EKS)
- Strong experience with Terraform or equivalent IaC tooling
- Working knowledge of CI/CD pipeline security, container image scanning, and supply chain integrity
- Experience with monitoring and alerting tools (Prometheus, ELK Stack, Datadog, Grafana, or AWS CloudWatch)
- Strong written communication -- you'll need to document runbooks, findings, and remediation plans clearly
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-autonomy environment where priorities shift rapidly
- Business-level English (written and spoken)

Responsibilities:

- Design and implement security controls across AWS cloud infrastructure (VPCs, IAM, Security Groups) and Kubernetes (EKS) environments. Enforce least-privilege access, network segmentation, and runtime security policies
- Use Terraform or equivalent IaC tooling to provision and manage infrastructure with security checks automated directly in the deployment pipeline. Reduce manual toil through scripting and tooling in Python
- Build and maintain detection rules, alerting pipelines, and monitoring dashboards for real-time visibility across infrastructure. Lead technical response to security incidents with root cause analysis, remediation, and documented runbooks
- Support and advance SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR commitments by automating evidence collection, maintaining security policies, and preparing for audits
- Define and test backup and recovery procedures ensuring the platform meets defined RTO/RPO targets. Contribute to business continuity planning with a focus on security implications during failure and restoration scenarios
