About Sestra People n
Sestra People is a boutique, female-founded talent provider dedicated to rewriting the narrative around recruitment. At Sestra People, we believe your next best hire isn't just a CV — it's a human being with quirks, flaws, talent, and a story.
n
We champion values of Kindness, Transparency, and Professional Results, without compromising on a family-feel, bringing back a sense of "humanness" to recruitment.
About the Chance n
We're looking for an
AWS DevSecOps Engineer
to join a consulting team building a new enterprise AI platform for a major Australian organisation.
n
This is a greenfield environment designed to give teams a secure, self-service way to build and deploy AI solutions on AWS.
n
Rather than security being something checked at the end, the focus is on
building security, governance and automated controls directly into the platform from day one.
The Role n
You'll work as part of a small engineering squad responsible for building the underlying cloud and security foundations of the AI platform.
n
Your role will bring the
security lens
to the team — understanding what controls need to exist, identifying gaps within AWS environments, and then helping translate those requirements into automated, scalable engineering solutions.
n
Day to day, you'll be involved in:




n
n
n
Reviewing AWS environments and identifying required security controls
n
n
Building and automating cloud security controls using
Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
n
n
Embedding security into CI/CD and self-service deployment workflows
n
n
Working with
IAM, authentication, credentials and access controls
n
n
Translating security requirements into technical controls and
Policy as Code
n
n
Working with AWS Service Control Policies (SCPs)
n
n
Supporting secure provisioning through GitHub Actions and/or Azure DevOps
n
n
Reviewing new AI services and determining how they should be securely deployed
n
n
Working alongside platform, SRE/observability and DevSecOps engineers
n
n
Advising the wider squad on security considerations as new capabilities are built
n
What we're looking for n
You don't need to tick every box.
n
The strongest candidates will likely come from
cloud security, DevSecOps or security engineering
and have enough cloud engineering experience to be genuinely hands-on.
n
Ideally, you'll bring:
n
n
n
Strong commercial
AWS
experience
n
n
DevSecOps or cloud security experience
n
n
Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
n
n
CI/CD experience
n
n
AWS IAM and cloud access/security controls
n
n
Security automation experience
n
n




Understanding of AWS SCPs and/or Policy as Code
n
n
GitHub Actions and/or Azure DevOps
n
n
Scripting capability
n
n
Ability to assess an environment, identify security requirements and help implement the solution
n
n
Strong communication skills and the ability to work within a client-facing consulting environment
n
n
Experience with
AWS landing zones
would be advantageous.
What about AI experience? n
You don't need years of AI experience.
n
You
do
need to be curious about it.
n
The platform will support enterprise AI workloads, with the initial engagement involving AWS AI services including
Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore
.
n
We'd love to speak with engineers who are already exploring these technologies — whether commercially, through side projects, labs or their own learning — and who are interested in the emerging challenge of
securing AI infrastructure and services at enterprise scale
.
Why consider it? n
This isn't a traditional security role focused on reviewing controls after something has already been built.
n
You'll be joining at the beginning of a new AI platform build, working alongside engineers to determine
how security should be designed into the environment from the outset.
n
The consultancy is also building this capability for the longer term, with similar cloud, security and AI skillsets expected to be required across future client engagements.
n
If your background sits somewhere between
AWS engineering, cloud security and DevSecOps
, we'd be keen to hear from you — even if you don't match every technology listed above.
