DevSecOps Engineer – Mission-Driven HealthTech Startup | Melbourne | Hybrid

We’re working with a cutting-edge HealthTech startup that’s transforming digital therapy through clinically-proven mobile solutions.

As they scale and move toward AI-powered personalisation, they’re now looking for a DevSecOps Engineer to bring structure, security, and speed to their growing product and engineering teams.

About the Role:

You’ll join a small, product-led team where you’ll work closely with the CTO and engineers to improve DevOps practices, uplift security standards, and help lay the foundation for regulatory due diligence.

What you’ll do:

• Own and develop the DevSecOps function by taking charge of security, reliability, and productivity across the engineering team
• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines to support a monorepo architecture and streamline mobile/backend deployments
• Drive cloud infrastructure improvements, primarily on GCP
• Ensure compliance with HIPAA and other healthcare standards, including ownership of incident and risk registers
• Implement and manage security tooling (e.g., Vanta, Drata) to support audit readiness and data protection
• Collaborate with software engineers to embed secure development practices
• Introduce automation and monitoring best practices to support a fast-paced, high-availability environment
• Work closely with the CTO and leadership team to support strategic initiatives, including AI adoption

What you Bring:

• Hands-on DevOps or DevSecOps experience
• GCP experience is a big plus (but not essential)
• Confident with CI/CD tools and managing developer environments
• Comfortable operating in startup-style, high-autonomy environments
• You take initiative and solve problems without needing a detailed spec

What’s on Offer:

• Join a mission-driven startup in the health sector
• Help the team level up compliance and reliability in preparation for Series B
• Be the first dedicated DevSecOps Engineer with the autonomy to shape tools, process, and culture
• Get in early – equity is on the table
