Senior DevSecOps Engineer

We are a Polish branch of a fast-growing InsurTech product company from Silicon Valley - Hippo Insurance. Our mission is to revolutionize home insurance in the US, starting from IoT monitoring devices to our industry-leading software. 

How do we want to get there? We need a top-notch talent, just like you! 

Putting a lot of effort into hiring top-tier professionals is a proof that we care a lot about tech experience, the attitude, human approach, and what we could call „culture fit”.

„SwingDev is all about people” - yes, it may sound a bit cliche. But whether we're writing code or just hanging out, we know that people are at the heart of everything we do. We like to have a good time and keep things light, even when we're tackling big projects. We could brag about what’s making us special, but we’ve boiled it down to two key ingredients: mature, companionable people who, rather than compete, prefer to inspire and have each other’s backs; a culture of trust, empathy, and positivity that keeps us together, lets us interact as teammates and friends, and truly enjoy the ride.

So if you're a DevOps Engineer with a knack for security and looking to shake things up while having a good time, you've come to the right place. 🚀

About the role:

At Hippo, we're tackling complex challenges in engineering, data, and operations that are transforming an outdated industry. As a Senior DevSecOps Engineer, you'll play a key role in expanding our suite of products, supporting both mature offerings and new MVPs. In this role, you’ll use your deep understanding of cybersecurity and risk management to drive security projects from concept to completion. You’ll collaborate with stakeholders to create effective security designs and protocols while securing microservices and monitoring for threats.

If you’re passionate about crafting clear security designs and protocols, driving security projects from start to finish, securing microservices, and identifying vulnerabilities in distributed systems while analyzing logs and security signals, we’d love to hear from you!

• You’ll be responsible for building a world-class, scalable, and resilient security infrastructure that keeps the Hippo platform safe and sound.
• You’ll boost developer productivity by integrating security tools and processes into our CI/CD pipelines, as well as monitoring systems and cloud environments to ensure everything runs smoothly.
• You’ll get to work with various cloud providers, databases, and a range of security tools like CSPM, DSPM, WAF, ZTN, DAST, SAST, Vault, and more, giving you a chance to explore and enhance our security setup.
• You’ll be using Golang, Python, and other scripting languages like Bash on a daily basis to automate security operations, build secure APIs, and develop serverless security functions.

• You'll have huge creative freedom and ability to put your mark on the project, and you will take ownership and responsibility for what you do. 
• You’ll have a lot of chances to develop your skills as well as learn a lot about how tech business is done in the US (if you want to). 

• Have at least 6 years of experience in Security Operations (SecOps), cybersecurity, systems engineering, or related fields.
• Are skilled in Golang, Python, or Bash (or at least one of them).
• Have worked with security frameworks such as OWASP, NIST, or SANS.
• Know your way around Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS).
• Have networking experience with AWS VPC or GCP, and understand network security, security groups, and ACLs really well.
• Have experience securing CDN configurations and can integrate them into a broader security strategy.
• Can recognize and defend against common CDN attack vectors like DDoS attacks, cache poisoning, and content hijacking.
• Have hands-on experience with tools like Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD systems that have integrated security, whether they’re open-source or hosted.
• Are familiar with Terraform and have worked with security logging and metrics systems.
• Know about authentication protocols like SAML, OIDC, or OAuth.

• Enjoy working in a small, focused, and highly efficient team.

• Have a good command of English (written & spoken).
• Are available in the afternoons - due to collaboration with the United States, evening meetings may occur. Rest assured, we prioritize work-life fit, respect everyone's private lives, and don’t work at night but we still must ensure that communication between the time zones is effective.

• Send us your CV – it's the best way for us to get to know you.
• Meet Gabi, one of our Recruiters.
• Join Paweł, our DevOps Engineer, for a 60-minute technical interview.
• Have a conversation with our Engineering Manager.
• Meet on the final stage with Marcin and Alicja.
• and... welcome aboard! 👋
