Security Automation Engineer

Security Automation Engineer | Terraform, Vault, AWS & Azure | DevSecOps Build-Out | Global Tech Organisation

• Dublin, 4 days onsite, 1 day from home
• €85,000-€120,000 base + bonus
• Permanent, full-time position

Our client is a global software company that's been quietly powering some of the world's most important systems across healthcare, finance, logistics and government.

Their technology sits behind critical platforms used globally, the sort of environments where uptime, security and compliance genuinely matter. The Managed Services function is in the middle of a deliberate shift from on-premises into cloud and SaaS, and they're hiring a Security Automation Engineer in Dublin to help build out the security automation capability behind that move.

You'll design and implement the automation frameworks that bake security and compliance into how platforms are provisioned, configured and operated across AWS, Azure and hybrid environments. The remit covers Terraform, HashiCorp Vault, CI/CD integration, automated remediation workflows and standardising security patterns across customer estates.

The environment is engineering-led. Strong focus on IaC, automation, observability and embedding security at the platform layer rather than bolting it on at the end.

Non-Negotiables

• Terraform
• HashiCorp Vault
• Python and Bash scripting
• AWS and/or Azure
• 6+ yrs security engineering, DevSecOps or security automation experience
• CI/CD pipeline security integration
• Automated remediation and compliance workflows

What You'll Work With

• Terraform
• HashiCorp Vault
• AWS
• Azure
• Python / Bash
• CI/CD pipelines
• Cloud-native security tooling
• Vulnerability management platforms
• Compliance automation
• IaC across hybrid environments

Nice to Haves

• HashiCorp certifications (Vault Associate, Terraform Associate)
• AWS Security Specialty or Azure Security Engineer Associate
• Healthcare, finance, public sector industry experience
• Managed services or hosted platform background
• Policy-as-Code (OPA, Sentinel)
• Container and Kubernetes security exposure

Why Join

You'll be joining during a major cloud and SaaS transformation, building the security automation function that underpins it. The patterns you set get applied across customer environments worldwide rather than re-implemented role by role.

The Dublin team is growing, so it's a good time to join if you want ownership of a function rather than a slot in an established one.
