Senior DevSecOps (Python)

Helpware

  • The DevSecOps Engineer is a foundational role in the our partner’s project, responsible for architecting and maintaining the high-security infrastructure required for an enterprise-grade
  • Agent Development Platform (ADP)

About Helpware

. You will be tasked with building the secure "sandbox" where autonomous agents live, ensuring zero-trust connectivity and managing the specialized data stores that power agentic reasoning.

Responsibilities

  • You will lead the setup of the AWS production environment and the implementation of Firecracker MicroVMs to provide isolated, ephemeral runtimes for agents. You are the guardian of the platform's "Egress Controls," ensuring that while agents can reason over proprietary data, they can never exfiltrate it.
  • Implement and manage

Firecracker MicroVMs

  • (or restricted Kubernetes/Docker environments) to ensure agents execute in strictly isolated, secure runtimes.
  • Provision and optimize the platform's multi-layered data stack, including

PostgreSQL

  • (OLTP), ChromaDB/PGVector
  • (VectorStore), and
  • GraphDB
  • (Neo4j) for relational knowledge mapping.
  • Build and manage high-performance
  • Event Streams
  • (AWS SQS, Event Bridge, or Kafka) to handle agent-to-agent communication and Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) escalation triggers.

WorkOS/IDP

  • for B2B identity management and multi-tenancy, ensuring strict logical separation of tenant data and configurations.
  • Design and enforce strict egress firewalls and proxy-only outbound routing to prevent data exfiltration by autonomous agents.
