We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer with a strong security orientation to join our DevOps team at Fiverr.
Fiverr’s platform operates at a significant scale, and our DevOps team is at the heart of keeping it fast, reliable, and secure. As we grow, so does the scope of our security responsibilities — and we need an engineer who can take ownership of that domain while being a full contributing member of the team.
In this role, you’ll drive security-focused initiatives across our cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes environments, and CI/CD pipelines — from IAM hardening and secrets management to supply chain security and cloud posture. At the same time, you’ll take part in core DevOps work: building scalable systems, improving platform resilience, and supporting Fiverr’s continued growth.
You’ll work closely with our Security team and other engineering stakeholders, and be part of our on-call rotation — meaning you’ll have both the context and the accountability that comes with owning production.
This is a hands-on role for an engineer who takes security seriously, moves fast, and knows how to get things done in a complex, high-scale environment.
What will you be doing: * Infrastructure & IaC Security: Define and implement security best practices for Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Terragrunt, Ansible) — including static analysis, misconfiguration detection, and compliance validation. * Container & Kubernetes Security: Implement and operate security controls for our containerized environments — secure image management, runtime protection, and policy enforcement across our Kubernetes clusters. * CI/CD Security: Design and maintain secure CI/CD pipelines (CircleCI, ArgoCD) with automated security testing integrated across Fiverr’s services and deployment workflows. * Secrets Management: Own the design and operation of secrets management practices across the platform — including Vault administration, rotation policies, and dynamic secrets integration. * Security Automation: Automate vulnerability scanning, compliance auditing, configuration checks, and remediation workflows to keep our security posture proactive rather than reactive. * Cloud Infrastructure: Build and maintain large-scale, highly available cloud infrastructure on AWS with a focus on Kubernetes — improving resiliency, reliability, and cost efficiency. * Collaboration: Partner with the Security team, development teams, and other stakeholders to embed security into the full development lifecycle and drive cross-team initiatives. * Incident Response: Own your on-call shifts as part of the DevOps rotation, maintaining Fiverr’s platform availability and contributing to security incident investigations when needed. * Tooling & Innovation: Continuously evaluate and adopt tools — security and otherwise — that raise the bar on engineering efficiency and security posture at Fiverr.
Requirements: * 4+ years of experience as a DevOps Engineer with hands-on security responsibilities, or equivalent DevSecOps experience. * Production experience with AWS and Kubernetes, including securing cloud-native environments at scale. * AI tooling experience — Claude Code, Cursor, etc. Writing skills, agents. * 2+ years of experience with CI/CD pipelines (CircleCI or equivalent), including integrating automated security testing. * Experience with IaC tools (Terraform, Terragrunt) and securing IaC workflows. * Experience with AWS security services and practices (IAM, KMS, GuardDuty, CloudTrail) — experience with CSPM platforms an advantage. * Strong knowledge of networking and network security concepts (Load Balancers, DNS, VPC, Security Groups, WAF). * Experience with secrets management solutions (HashiCorp Vault or equivalent). * Experience with container image scanning and supply chain security tooling (Wiz, Trivy, Aikido or equivalent). * Experience with GitOps workflows and tools (ArgoCD or equivalent). * Experience with observability tooling (Grafana, Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, Coralogix or equivalent). * Experience designing and maintaining high-availability solutions for large-scale environments. * Security certifications (AWS Security Specialty, CKS) — advantage. * Development experience — advantage.
At Fiverr, we’re not about checklists. If you don’t meet 100% of the requirements for this role but still feel passionate about the position and think you have the right skills and qualifications to excel at it, we want to hear from you.
