Senior DevSecOps / Cloud Security Engineer Needed to Remediate Penetration Test Findings

I’m looking for a highly skilled, senior-level security engineer to remediate findings from a recent third‑party penetration test on a production web platform. This is not a basic DevOps or web developer role. I need someone with deep, hands-on experience in application security, infrastructure security, and cloud environments who is comfortable owning remediation end‑to‑end. Your work will be verified via a repeat penetration test, so fixes must be correct, secure, and properly implemented, no shortcuts. -Scope of Work- You will be provided with the full penetration test report. Example findings include (but are not limited to): • SSH vulnerabilities (authentication, exposure, hardening) • SQL injection risks and application-layer vulnerabilities • DNS and network security issues • Cloud/IAM misconfigurations • Server and OS hardening • Security headers, TLS, secrets handling, and access controls You should be able to: • Analyze findings and explain root causes clearly • Implement proper remediations (infra + app as needed) • Follow least‑privilege and security best practices • Prepare the platform to pass re-testing • Document changes made and why Requirements (Non‑Negotiable) • Senior experience as a DevSecOps Engineer, Cloud Security Engineer, or Application Security Engineer • Strong knowledge of SSH, networking, DNS, IAM, and secure server configuration • Experience fixing real penetration test findings (not theoretical knowledge) • Comfortable working in production environments • Clear communication and documentation • Able to work on a fixed‑price basis What This Is NOT • Not a junior role • Not a “web developer who dabbles in security” • Not a checklist exercise • Not an ongoing retainer I am specifically looking for someone who can own the outcome and stand behind their work. Engagement Details • Pricing: Fixed price (open to discussion after reviewing scope) • Timeline: To be discussed after initial review of findings • Verification: Work will be validated via repeat penetration testing To Apply Please include: 1. Your relevant security experience 2. Examples of penetration test remediation you’ve completed 3. Your cloud/platform background 4. Confirmation that you’re comfortable with work being verified via re-test If you’re the right person, I’m happy to share more technical details up front. Apply tot his job
