Hiring: Contract Cloud Security Engineer (GCP / GKE / Terraform) - DevSecOps
A venture-backed technology company is running a focused SOC 2 infrastructure buildout and needs a senior, hands-on contractor to deliver it. The backlog is already written: around 18 detailed tickets, ready to estimate against.

- Datadog Cloud Security: CSPM, container security, Cloud SIEM and detection rules
- Shipping GCP audit, data access and VPC flow logs into Datadog
- GKE and Kubernetes hardening: Pod Security Standards, NetworkPolicies, RBAC
- GitHub security hardening: Actions, branch protection, audit log streaming
- Backup and DR in Terraform, supply chain security (cosign, Binary Authorization) and Cloud Armor
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You would work directly with the Head of Engineering and platform team, in their Linear and repos, raising PRs into their Terraform and GitOps stack. Audit evidence matters as much as the technical change.
Why it's interesting:
- Fixed, well-defined scope with a detailed ticket backlog, not an open-ended engagement
- Direct working relationship with the engineering leadership, no account managers in between
- Real security engineering across the full stack: cloud, Kubernetes, CI/CD and supply chain
- A strong fit for an independent contractor who wants focused, meaningful delivery work

If you write Terraform, harden Kubernetes clusters and have shipped compliance-oriented controls before, this will suit you. GRC-only consultants and MSPs need not apply.
