Why Join the Internal WWT IT Team?

The Internal WWT IT team designs, builds, secures, and operates the platforms that support WWT's internal applications and engineering teams. Our work enables reliable, scalable, and automated delivery of software and services that support the company's business objectives.

You will work on foundational technology that matters: shared platforms, developer tooling, security controls, and automation used across WWT IT. The environment values ownership, collaboration, continuous learning, and practical improvement.

Why Join INFOPS Application Development?

INFOPS Application Development operates within Internal IT Platform Engineering and focuses on enabling developers. The team builds and operates platforms, workflows, and automation that allow application teams to securely self-service infrastructure, deployments, data services, and integrations.

Our portfolio includes Red Hat OpenShift application environments; shared data and messaging services such as MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, and Apache Solr; and delivery capabilities built around GitHub Actions, Codefresh, Argo CD, Helm, GitOps, APIs, and infrastructure-as-code practices. The team is also expanding its service mesh and AI gateway capabilities, creating an opportunity to shape how service-to-service and agent-to-service traffic is secured from the start.

This role sits inside the platform team, not outside it. You will work directly alongside the engineers who build and run these platforms, with the access and context to fix problems at the source and a mandate to make the secure path the easy path for developers.

What Will You Be Doing?

This Security Engineer will be embedded with the platform engineering team and will focus on strengthening the security of Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift platforms and the services running within them. The role will assess vulnerabilities and platform security posture, drive practical remediation, automate repeatable security activities, and improve security across software-delivery and supply-chain workflows.

You will independently execute well-defined work, contribute to approaches for security problems, and own assigned deliverables. You will partner with platform engineers, application teams, and enterprise security functions to translate findings and guidance into actionable remediation plans, durable controls, and measurable security improvements.

Platform & Technology Scope

You will work primarily with Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift environments across a hybrid footprint of on-premises and cloud-connected infrastructure, and with the shared application platforms running within them, including MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, and Apache Solr. The delivery ecosystem includes GitHub Actions, Codefresh, Argo CD, GitOps, Helm, APIs, and configuration-as-code practices.

The team uses Wiz, Tenable, and Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security (ACS) for vulnerability management, Kubernetes and container security, compliance, and risk visibility. Experience with these platforms is helpful, but equivalent experience with comparable security technologies is also relevant.

This role focuses on security engineering for the platforms the team builds and operates, working in close partnership with the enterprise security teams that lead WWT's broader security program.

Use of approved AI-assisted engineering tools is expected, and there is real room to build with them: automating security analysis, triage, and remediation workflows, and helping shape how the team uses AI and agentic tooling safely. As with any tool, we expect sound judgment, validation of results, and secure data-handling practices.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

+ Monitor emerging vulnerabilities and regularly assess the security posture of Kubernetes, OpenShift, underlying Linux hosts, container workloads, and shared platform services; identify and prioritize risks and control gaps, and drive assigned remediation through completion.

+ Develop automation to continuously assess security posture, streamline vulnerability management, and remediate repeatable, well-understood security issues where appropriate.

+ Implement and improve Kubernetes and OpenShift security controls, including RBAC, Security Context Constraints (SCCs), Pod Security Admission, network policies and segmentation, ingress and service mesh security (such as mTLS and authorization policies), secrets and certificate management, workload identity, and policy-as-code controls.

+ Configure, integrate, maintain, and optimize security tools to provide accurate, actionable insight into platform vulnerabilities and risks.

+ Evaluate and recommend security tools and technical controls that improve vulnerability management, security monitoring, access visibility, and compliance.

+ Strengthen DevSecOps and software supply-chain security across CI/CD and GitOps workflows, including vulnerability and secret scanning, dependencies, container images, SBOMs, image provenance, and workflow permissions.

+ Partner with platform and application engineers to interpret findings, determine practical remediation approaches that balance security with reliability, developer experience, and business needs, and incorporate security into platform designs and delivery workflows.

+ Document security findings, control decisions, remediation approaches, exceptions, standards, and recurring processes, and communicate material risks to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
