Platform Engineer

Platform Engineer (Onsite - Omaha, NE)

Overview

We're looking for a DevSecOps Engineer to help modernize DevOps practices, strengthen cloud governance, and embed security directly into how software is built and deployed. This role sits within a software engineering organization and is ideal for someone who enjoys leading by influence, improving platforms, and enabling other teams to work faster and safer.
This is not a principal-level role, but it does require deep experience, strong judgment, and the ability to guide others.

• Design and deliver version-controlled YAML templates with built-in security and compliance controls
• Integrate security scanning (SAST, DAST, SBOM) and dependency/package scanning into pipelines
• Embed cloud governance and "governance-as-code" practices into automated systems
• Perform gap analyses to identify security vulnerabilities, non-compliance, and deployment risks
• Automate compliance evidence and replace manual audits with real-time, audit-ready reporting
• Surface security risks and vulnerabilities into internal developer dashboards for transparency and faster remediation
• Collaborate across software engineering, architecture, cloud, and security teams
• Help define and support Golden Paths that enable teams to build securely by default
• Mentor and support engineers who may not have strong DevOps or software backgrounds

What We're Looking For

• Strong experience in DevOps / DevSecOps (not a principal role)
• Strong experience with Azure DevOps for CI/CD pipelines
• Hands-on experience with GitHub and/or GitLab
• Deep understanding of CI/CD principles, DevSecOps practices, and cloud governance
• Experience building code-based pipelines using YAML
• Strong grounding in software engineering principles (development experience is a plus)
• Ability to assess platforms and recommend modern DevOps improvements
• Comfortable leading through influence and helping elevate the team

Preferred Experience

• 4+ years of design and implementation experience across IT and engineering disciplines
• Expertise in at least two of the following areas:
  • Cloud technologies
  • Application development and APIs
  • Middleware
  • Infrastructure or networking
  • Databases or storage
• Exposure to diverse technical environments and architectures
• Strong understanding of Agile methodologies and how DevOps supports Agile teams
• Experience with application monitoring and observability tools
• Insurance industry experience is a plus, but not required

Key Skills

• DevOps / DevSecOps
• Azure & Azure DevOps
• CI/CD Pipelines
• GitHub / GitLab
• YAML
• Agile
• Cloud Governance
• Security Automation

Why This Role

• High-impact work modernizing DevSecOps and cloud governance
