DevOps Cybersecurity Engineer

About the role

You will design, develop, and maintain custom security automation tools that directly protect Scaleway's infrastructure and data. You will own the full lifecycle of Python-based applications and scripts used by the SOC and CSIRT to detect and respond to threats. You will act as a bridge between production infrastructure teams and security operations to ensure deployed solutions meet strict compliance and availability standards. You will continuously refine detection workflows to reduce noise and accelerate incident response times. You will translate complex security requirements into robust, scalable software components that operate reliably in a cloud-native environment. You will proactively identify risks in the threat landscape and build tools that enable the security team to stay ahead of adversaries.
