Staff DevSecOps Engineer
About the role
About Us
Co-founded in 2023 by Joe Laws and Verstandig, Trase Systems is AI, Uncomplicated. Trase empowers enterprise leaders to harness the full potential of AI without the associated complexity and risks. We are an end-to-end solution for deploying, managing, and optimizing AI in the enterprise. Our platform specializes in bridging the “last mile” of AI adoption, unlocking AI's full potential while driving efficiency and significant cost savings. Trase is at the forefront of AI Agent innovation, topping the Hugging Face GAIA Leaderboard for Generalized AI Assistants, ahead of industry giants such as Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI. We are leveraging our cutting-edge technologies to develop mission-critical agentic applications in complex industries such as Healthcare, Oil & Gas, and National Security.
About the Role
As the Staff DevSecOps Engineer, you will be the technical owner of how security is built into Trase's software development lifecycle and cloud operations.
You will integrate automated security testing, continuous vulnerability management, and secure coding practices directly into our existing CI/CD pipelines, where the cost of catching misconfigurations and vulnerabilities is lowest and the blast radius is smallest. You will own the implementation of Trase's dedicated security architecture, delivering shift-left tooling (SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and IaC scanning) alongside production cloud security services and resources, all deployed through infrastructure-as-code.
By standardizing and operating these secure pipelines, you will empower Trase's software engineers to focus on high-velocity delivery while ensuring that we maintain the controls and capabilities required by our customers and regulators.
Why This Role Exists
Trase ships mission-critical agentic applications into Healthcare, Oil & Gas, and National Security at the pace of a startup, under the scrutiny of a defense contractor. Our engineering velocity and the speed at which we deploy highly-regulated workloads is one of our core advantages.
To preserve that velocity while maintaining customer trust and assurance, we must ensure that security is seamlessly and inextricably linked to delivery — and never bolted on after the fact.
This role exists to build upon our foundation and mature the ways in which we’ve embedded security throughout our pipelines and operations. It is a continued investment in our CI/CD security tooling, production cloud security architecture, detection and response capabilities, and secure-by-default patterns that will scale as we grow.
