Get to Know Darwoft

At Darwoft , we build custom software solutions and partner with international companies to create high-impact digital products. We are a Latin American technology company with a people-first culture, strong professional standards, and a long-term partnership mindset. We work with distributed teams, complex technical challenges, and clients whose technology has a direct impact on their businesses and users.

About the Project We are partnering with an innovative cybersecurity company developing a modern Identity Security and Identity Observability platform . The product enables enterprise security teams to monitor identity activity, identify security gaps, detect suspicious behavior, and reduce identity-related risks across cloud, SaaS, network, and on-premise environments . Its architecture relies heavily on distributed systems, real-time data processing, cloud-native infrastructure, advanced analytics, and an increasingly AI-driven security roadmap . As the platform continues to scale, infrastructure reliability, automation, observability, security, and developer productivity are critical engineering priorities.

About the Role We're looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to design, automate, operate, and continuously improve the cloud infrastructure and deployment platform supporting a high-scale cybersecurity product. You'll work primarily with AWS, Kubernetes/EKS, Terraform, Docker, CI/CD, and observability technologies , partnering closely with Software Engineering, QA, Security, and IT teams. This role goes beyond maintaining infrastructure. You'll actively contribute to platform engineering , helping engineers ship software faster and more reliably while improving automation, security, operational visibility, scalability, and cloud cost efficiency. You'll have a high degree of ownership over production infrastructure and participate directly in architectural decisions, incident resolution, platform improvements, and DevOps best practices.
